Which would take up to FIVE Democrat senators off the presidential campaign trail right in the middle of primary season for THREE to SIX WEEKS. Do you think they want to do that?

Well, it's out of their control Nancy has set the beast in motion, and now it must complete itself.

No way Nadler is going to say "Oh, sorry fellow committee chairs, especially you Shifty, you found a lot of stuff, but I'm not seeing impeachable offenses here. The Judiciary committee chooses not to forward charges to the full House.

Ok, obviously that's not going to happen. So he WILL create the Impeachment charges and he WILL forward them to the Full House and they WILL vote on them, and they WILL pass.

Then, finally it's mostly in the hands of Mitch McConnell how things go in the Senate.

The House can only control the date they turn things over to the Senate. Your excellent point suggests that they would rather do it sooner instead of later.

That fits in with some reporting I heard that they were going to try to get it done by Christmas. That would be good for the House, and not-so-great for the Senators running for President. January is the last month to campaign for the early Feb. Iowa and New Hampshire Dem primary contests.

But there is no better time as tings move forward you have Super Tuesday.

I suggested on a previous post that if Mitch is really clever he could time it so the key final votes on Impeachment is the July 13-16. The Democratic Convention.
