One might say the tea’s been brewed so they can take the teabag out of the cup; it has served its purpose.

Ooooh. PERFECT description of FAKE NEWS stories “quietly” retracted after they’ve served their purpose.
I’ve been thinking about the way the Dems pretend that President Trump has never been exonerated. They walk out of a another failed attempt to frame him for crimes he never committed and start bragging that he’s guilty, like they just won their latest defamation trophy.
The accusation itself is the purpose - not the outcome. They collect defamation trophies.
(I can't beleive I used to read that site!)

The impeachment trial is hurtling toward a conclusion, after brief drama over potentially calling witnesses.
Former President Trump is almost certain to get acquitted, but it won’t be much of a vindication.
His conduct in the post-election period and on January 6 will blight his reputation forevermore. He waged a dishonest and poisonous campaign to overturn the election that culminated in a mob disrupting the counting of electoral votes at the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

Perfect description.
