Dear F,
Is it possible Pelosi is looking to bring the articles of impeachment to the senate only if McConnell agrees to a secret ballot.?
I know Pelosi's reluctance to "goosestep the process" is all about "the rules" and -- brazen sonsobitches that they are -- McConnell and lickspittle brown-nose have already pre-proven their intention to cheat on the most fundamental rule of all... impartial judgment.

'Twould be sweet if Pelosi were to force a secret ballot.
Or, if McConnell doesn't agree, there's a good chance that freezing the process indefinitely would literally drive Trump insane, and then the cabinet would have to invoke the 25th amendment.

Jeff Flake says 35 Senate Republicans would vote to convict Trump if impeachment featured a secret ballot
Reuters
Having heard “somewhere” — possibly from Mike Murphy, the veteran Republican strategist, interviewed earlier this week by Andrea Mitchell on MSNBC — that one current senator had estimated 30 Republicans in that chamber would vote to convict Donald Trump if secret ballots were a feature of impeachment verdicts, former Sen. Jeff Flake raised this objection:
‘I heard someone say if there were a private vote there would be 30 Republican votes. That’s not true. There would be at least 35.’
The Arizona Republican issued his estimate elevation — meaning 66%, as compared with 57% under the estimate relayed by Murphy, of the 53 members of his party in the current upper chamber would favor Trump’s removal from office — in the question-and-answer segment of an appearance at the Texas Tribune Festival in Austin.
An op-ed in Flake’s hometown newspaper suggested the former senator was effectively accusing Republicans in the Senate of cowardice, assuming he’s on the mark that many would vote differently in a private impeachment proceeding versus a public one, but stopped short of doing so because “that is not his style.”
