House Speaker Nancy Pelosi , who signed the articles during an engrossment ceremony on Capitol Hill, criticized Trump’s actions, which she had jeopardized national security and violated his oath of office.
“So sad, so tragic for our country,” she said.
Pelosi added: “As we make history, we will be making progress for the American people. … Make it be very clear that this president will be held accountable and that no one is above the law.”
After Pelosi signed the articles of impeachment, she handed out the pens she used to the House managers and posed for photos with them.
I found a better video of Pelosi handing out pens…
Here’s a closeup of the pens, which have Pelosi’s signature on them:

CNN’s panel was taken aback by it, noting that Pelosi had just said this was a somber occasion and yet she’s handing out pens and getting photos taken with them as though it were a celebration:
This was a misstep by Pelosi, who went out of her way to keep House Democrats from cheering when they voted on the impeachment articles last month. But the American people aren’t stupid. We know this isn’t really a somber moment for them. They love this and are cheering loudly when the cameras aren’t on because they think they are ruining Trump for re-election.
