Nancy Pelosi, AKA Nasty Nancy, allowed Adam Schiff, AKA Shifty Schiff, to run the impeachment "inquiry" through Shifty's Intelligence Committee, where Shifty had total control.  He set the rules to allow only the witnesses he wanted.  He lied in his opening statement to commence the inquiry by making up President Trump's phone conversation with Ukraine's President Zelensky.  The resulting vote to impeach was a foregone conclusion regardless of the evidence, or lack thereof.

Pelosi has not sent Shifty's articles of impeachment to the Senate for a trial because she said she wants to first see the Senate trial procedures.

Pelosi knows that the Senate will acquit President Trump because Shifty's articles lack merit, or, to be blunt, because the articles are BS.

Article one charges abuse of power, which is a grab bag of Trump policies the Democrats don't like and a rehash of the Ukraine hoax.  The articles don't charge a constitutionally mandated reason, or even a crime, for impeachment.

Article two is even worse.  It charges obstruction of Congress on the theory that President Trump did not obey Shifty's subpoenas.  This is ridiculous because President Trump has a constitutional right, under the separation of powers, to assert executive privilege to object to congressional subpoenas.  If Pelosi and Shifty disagreed, they could have filed suit in federal court to enforce the subpoenas.  They knew they would lose, so they didn't file suit.

Senator Chuck Schumer joined in this subversion of the Constitution by trying to get Majority Leader McConnell to call witnesses selected by Schumer and Pelosi for the Senate trial.  The obvious question is, why didn't Shifty and Pelosi call and subpoena the witnesses during Shifty's inquiry if these witnesses were needed to make the Democrats' case?  The obvious answer is that Schumer and Pelosi know they don't have a case, regardless of any witnesses who didn't appear at Shifty's inquiry, or whomever they now want to call as witnesses.

The Democrats, led by Pelosi and Schumer, are seeking to influence public opinion against the eventual acquittal of President Trump.  They are laying the groundwork to argue that the Senate acquitted President Trump because Senator McConnell would not call the witnesses demanded by the Democrats, therefore the Senate didn't hear all the evidence.  They are preparing the DNC talking points to use against President Trump in the 2020 election campaign.

Pelosi is using the delay in sending the Shifty articles to the Senate, assuming she will send them, to discredit the Senate trial because she knows that the Senate will acquit after trial, if not dismiss the Shifty articles on a motion to dismiss.  She expects the media wing of the Democratic Party to join in attacking the Senate to portray the Senate trial as a sham because the Republicans have a majority in the Senate.

Pelosi is subverting the Constitution by playing politics in delaying sending the Shifty articles to the Senate to destroy the credibility of the constitutionally mandated Senate trial.  This is consistent with the Democratic Party playbook that refuses to accept that President Trump won the 2016 election.  It is consistent with the use of the Obama DOJ/FBI/CIA to spy on the Trump presidential campaign to help Hillary, and then to try to remove President Trump through the Russia Hoax investigation by Mueller.  The Ukraine Hoax is just a continuation of the campaign against President Trump.  The common thread is that the Democrats refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election.

Pelosi said she "prays" for President Trump.  This is preposterous and blasphemous.  She hates President Trump and is a leader in the Democratic Party putsch to remove President Trump.  She knows there is no legal and factual basis for impeachment.  As a Catholic, it is offensive to hear her say she "prays" for President Trump because of her Catholic upbringing when it is clear she uses her religion to give credibility to her political efforts to remove President Trump.

When Pelosi is not "praying" for President Trump, she leads the coup disguised as impeachment by lying about President Trump's record and trying to influence public opinion against President Trump's acquittal by questioning the credibility and legitimacy of the Senate trial.  She is attacking and disparaging the system established by the Constitution for a trial on impeachment.  Some Catholic upbringing.

The bottom line is that the real Nancy is Nasty Nancy, trying to discredit the deserved and timely acquittal of President Trump.
