House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Doug Collins weighed in Sunday on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi continuing to withhold articles of impeachment against President Trump from the Senate, saying he thought “she had a bad Christmas carol, if you want to use the analogy of the last couple weeks.”

The Georgia Republican told “Sunday Morning Futures” that Pelosi “had a ghost of Christmas past, where she trashed all the rules to try and impeach this president and rush it before the end of the year.”

Collins continued, “She has a president sitting here now with a bad case, bad articles of impeachment that have no basis in reality to impeach the president and she’s looking at a future in which she has no legislative agenda.”

MCCONNELL CALLS PELOSI’S IMPEACHMENT DELAY ‘ABSURD,’ PREDICTS SHE’LL BACK DOWN ‘SOONER OR LATER’

He went on, “There’s nothing in the House for her to do because [Democrats] have wasted so much time and taxpayer dollars on impeaching this president that we’re sitting here literally waiting on her to send articles over to try and influence the Senate decision in which she has no control over.”

“That’s how sad we’ve become and how sad this speaker’s legacy is so far.”

Pelosi surprised many in Washington last month with her decision to withhold articles — which accused Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress over his dealings with Ukraine — as she sought to pressure the Senate to agree to certain terms for a trial. In an unusual news conference, Pelosi, D-Calif., defended her decision while calling Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a “rogue leader.”

McConnell last month said Pelosi’s delay in sending articles of impeachment was an “absurd” position to take, saying the speaker “apparently believes she can tell us how to run the trial.”

“Let the American people understand something,” Collins told host Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. “The speaker got up there and gave this grand show of being solemn and it’s our duty and it’s our conscious vote, but yet the minute after she forced them into this impeachment vote on the weakest case in history, she went out and then basically turned it into a political document.”

He continued, “She took a sham vote for them to actually say impeachment was needed and then went out and said, ‘Well no, I’m going to hold this.’”

Pelosi said last month she hoped the Senate would find a bipartisan agreement on how to conduct the trial. “We would hope that they can come to some conclusion like that, but in any event, we’re ready when we see what they have.”

Collins continued Sunday, “She pulled the curtain back, showed everybody that this is simply a political statement against this president to affect the 2020 election because they have nobody that can beat the president. The economy, everything is working.”

At least three explosions were reported Sunday inside the heavily-fortified Green Zone — which houses the U.S. Embassy, Balad Air Base and Iraqi government buildings — in the second attack of its kind after the U.S.-led airstrike that killed Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

A total of six Katyusha rockets — three inside the Green Zone and three in the nearby Jadriya area — hit Baghdad, according to a statement by Iraq’s military, as Reuters reported.

No injuries were reported immediately but alert sirens waited on the west bank of the Tigris river.

MORE THAN 70 ANTI-WAR PROTESTS TAKE PLACE ACROSS US AFTER SOLEIMANI KILLING

On Saturday, at least one rocket fell on a parade ground in the Green Zone, causing no damage or casualties, Military.com reported.

In addition, several rockets fell at the gates of Balad Air Base, which the U.S. and Iraqi militaries have used jointly.

Although no one immediately took responsibility for the attacks, Iraqi Shia militia Kataib Hezbollah hinted at more retaliatory attacks to avenge Soleimani’s death. Local media reports stated that Hezbollah warned civilians to stay at least one kilometer away from U.S. bases and facilities housing American troops in Iraq starting Sunday evening, according to RT.

One blast allegedly blocked the road leading to the American diplomatic mission in the Iraqi capital. Five people were also injured as mortar shells ricocheted into the neighboring Jadriya region, where Baghdad University is located.

Tensions in the Middle East escalated after the U.S. launched three rockets Thursday that killed Soleimani, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ elite Quds Force as well as Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces, and five other people.

Throngs of mourners carried the flag-draped casket of Soleimani off a plane in Ahvaz in southwestern Iran earlier Sunday as his body was returned to his country.

Iran has declared three days of public mourning and throngs of revelers, including acting Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi, marched in a procession to honor the two Shiite militia leaders.
