I agree Pelosi is not playing her role exactly right, and I'm not sure how this helps her cause, but the Senate decided not to play theirs first.

Two weeks ago Marco Rubio was giving interviews saying that he would respect the process and not decide his vote until both sides had their say, and now Mitch and Lindsey have scared Marco into submission.  Meanwhile Rick Scott has not said anything at all.  One of these guys needs to stand up to McConnell and give a crap about how history will remember all of this.

Maybe they already have enough information to know the impeachment is a fraud. I know I do.
