Why was impeachment pushed through H fast?
>>> No real evidence of HC&M. Stir confusion in Senate and attempt to direct MM/trial.
[did they count on R’s blocking new witnesses?]
>>> No.
Time sensitive?
>>> Yes.
Why?
>>>Campaign was heating up and the focus needed to shift from “nullify 2016” to “win in 2020”.
When did [BIDEN] become the front runner?
>>>Technically, after March 10 (Michigan, et.al.).
Why was this critically important?
>>> MONEY. The party is BROKE. Prioritizing their cash.
What happened directly after?
>>> State lockdowns by fiat.
Looking at just Michigan, the virus was beginning to bloom but Whitmer was steadfast that the primary would be held; a 2-prong attack.
1. The Michigan vote was needed to put Biden in the lead and to stymie Bernie. They knew there would be no convention.
2. Get ^^Trump supporters^^ in social contact with asymptomatic carriers. That was accomplished, the bloom grew.
