Did Nancy Pelosi withhold articles of impeachment to interfere in the primary?

If this was done to interfere, then it's the latest data-point in a long line of them that suggests our ancient party leadership is completely out-of-touch with the dynamics of elections, and is still living in the 20th century with respect to modi operandi.

Well, if you think that the impending Impeachment Trail starting on Tuesday won't influence the Iowa Caucus Result you are really blind here.

Sanders, Warren and to lesser extend Klobuchar are facing a dilemma. They want a "Fair Trail". However the more fairer that Trail gets, the more witnesses get called the less time Sanders and his two colleagues can spent on the Campaign Trail.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi basically has given the former Vice-President Biden a "Late Christmas Present" here. Biden can park himself in IA for the next two week unchallenged while Bernie, Elizabeth and Amy have to spent their precious time in Washington.

I'm doubtful, but it was still a stupid gamble that backfired in her face.

If Sanders loses IA lets say 23 % to 22 % to Joe Biden because of the Senate Impeachment Trail you can bet that there will be some bad blood between the Sanders Campaign and Speaker Pelosi especially if Bernies Supporters feel that the Speaker orchestrated this trying to rig the Democratic Primary in favour of Biden the same way former DNC Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz rigged it in favour of Hillary Clinton in 2016.

I think its funny that the only people trying to push the "Pelosi rigged impeachment to help Biden" argument are republicans.

What Pelosi is doing ain't much different compared to what DWS did during the 2016 Primaries. Both are rigging the System for their preferred Candidate. For DWS that was Hillary, for Pelosi it's Biden.

The irony in all of this is that BOTH are absolutely frightened by Bernie Sanders and to lesser extend Elizabeth Warren. They think that Sanders/Warren can't beat Trump.
