Hannity says tonight that he hears the Senate trial wraps up this week; either Repub senators have heard from home or the Dems {Schumer} have overplayed their hand - or both.
I sure hope the 'pubbies show some smarts. The Dems are just itching for another Kavanaugh fiasco.

China shuts down its stock market until Feb 3.
POTUS gives SOTU address on Feb 4.
Hmmmmmm.
They are going to vote on Friday night ... all of the waffling is in the direction of no witnesses. I’m still mixed on whether to have witnesses and what’s in the plan though I think either way works.
I’m most swayed:
1) The impeachment trial provides a stage + opportunity to introduce the truth.
2) the impeachment trial is an absurdity and provides a stage and opportunity for the ds to repeat their absurdities.
I think there is most to be said for dismissing and acquitting asap for the institution of the presidency and our constitution and the separation of powers - something that has been well argued by POTUS legal team. I think that’s the overriding objective.
It doesn’t matter whether there are witnesses or not, the DEMs and media will lie - so the stage is a relative thing. The STORM as anticipated on these threads is something the media will not be able to ignore and ready to be eagerly consumed by the masses. In that light it makes the most sense to kill impeachment and any jeopardy or opportunity for further hijinx.
My further consideration - and I don’t know these answers - is how timeliness impacts things legally ... and my consideration is that things are cleanest if/when the impeachment is dismissed and then the ball can begin rolling.
TBD + WWG1WGA :)
