Trump appears to have a new theory on why Nancy Pelosi delayed the impeachment articles until now and it has everything to do with the election:
They are rigging the election again against Bernie Sanders, just like last time, only even more obviously. They are bringing him out of so important Iowa in order that, as a Senator, he sit through the Impeachment Hoax Trial. Crazy Nancy thereby gives the strong edge to Sleepy…

….Joe Biden, and Bernie is shut out again. Very unfair, but that’s the way the Democrats play the game. Anyway, it’s a lot of fun to watch!

I don’t know how much of this theory Trump really believes or if he’s just trolling Bernie and his supporter to try and get into their heads.
One thing is for sure. Bernie says he would rather be in Iowa than in DC for the impeachment trial:
‘I would rather be in Iowa today. There’s a caucus there in two and a half weeks. I’d rather be in New Hampshire, and Nevada, and so forth. But I swore a constitutional oath as a United States senator to do my job, and I’m here to do my job,’ Sanders said to reporters Thursday.
I’m sure Warren feels the same with the race so close. But Sanders appears to have more at stake, with the latest Iowa poll averages showing Biden and Sanders neck and neck with Buttigieg not far behind and Warren right behind him. You can understand why Biden really wants to be in Iowa.
