Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is sick and tired of Nancy Pelosi's cynical attempts to dictate the rules in the upper chamber of Congress over impeachment.
In remarks delivered in the Senate , the Kentucky Republican blasted Pelosi's power play as a "fantasy" and a "non-starter" in slamming the door on her perception of having influence outside of the House.

According to McConnell - Your turn is OVER! 
McConnell blasted Pelosi's sitting on the two articles of impeachment that Democrats celebrated before Christmas and sent a clear message that if and when she performs her constitutional duty, that the adults will assume control of the process.
McConnell added - they've done enough damage.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, speaking from the chamber’s floor Friday, rejected House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s efforts to shape a pending impeachment trial as “fantasy”—leaving the process at a standstill as lawmakers return from the holiday recess.
“Their turn is over. They’ve done enough damage. It’s the Senate’s turn now to render sober judgment,” McConnell, R-Ky., said on the Senate floor.
But he stressed that the chamber cannot hold a trial unless and until the House of Representatives transmits the two articles of impeachment adopted last month, accusing President Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress pertaining to his dealings with Ukraine. Pelosi, D-Calif., has held onto them in a bid to seek favorable terms for a trial, including the involvement of certain Democrat-sought witnesses.
McConnell called Pelosi’s effort to “hand-design” the proceedings in the Senate a “non-starter” and a “fantasy.”
This comes after weeks of having his character attacked by an unscrupulous and vicious media and signals that the new year will be marked by intensifying tensions between the two leaders.
McConnell also put the Speaker and Senate Democrats on blast via Twitter with a series of missives making it clear that the Senate will continue doing its own work regardless of Pelosi's hostage taking.
With pressure mounting on Pelosi to do her constitutional duty and submit the articles along with her party's obscene reaction to President Trump's takedown of Iran's top terrorist general, it is time for Madame Speaker to put up or shut up.
