I predict the Dems will make impeachment take until November 3rd. 2020.

[Mariner]

I’m pretty sure there are a bunch of “moderate” Democrats in the House and Senate that would like to see this drag on for a while...before it quietly dies.

Maybe the 12th of never.

Nothing would pack up this whole impeachment circus faster than a clear indictment of John Brenner (or Obama?) for conspiring to use the intelligence agencies of this country to defeat the candidate of the opposition party in violation of their First Amendment rights.

It’s not about ‘real’ impeachment. It’s about hounding Trump from office. And a cautionary tale for anyone else who either supports Trump, or seeks to pick up his mantle. It has as much to do with a democratic republic as did the Salem witch trials. And more sinister...

Meme of the day appears to be "hurry up" - CNN and NBC both have come out with imploring editorials. The issue isn't that the "witnesses" (if there even are any real ones) have given "investigators" leads, it's that there isn't any evidence. If there were it would have been leaked by now.

The fact is that a secret hearing in a secret location with secret witnesses using secret identities in secret testimony who may not be cross-examined and whose testimony will be heavily edited before even Congress sees it might be regarded by a skeptical public as a teensy bit less than transparent. So no grand spectacle for the media, who really need one in order to sell this thing. They still have a little time to come up with something but that something might need to be an exit strategy.

I was reading a transcript from Rush Limbaugh last week that noted that an impeachment trial would result in the Democrats losing their hammerlock on dictating The Narrative--because the Republicans could/ would start calling witnesses.

I would expand on that-- a genuine formal impeachment inquiry in the House of Representatives could have the same effect. The Democrats can't let that happen.

CNN is full of crap.

If, and this is a big "If," the Horowitz Report and Durham investigations result in actual indictments, all bets are off.

[bigbob]

Needs to be retroactive to do Obama.

[Jonny7797]

I think it’s taking longer b/c witnesses don’t have any information that would lead to anything. From what I have read and seen in hearings, witnesses are telling these commies to FO.

House Democrats are facing a time crunch...

But no "time crunch" for important things.

[NorthMountain]

Of course it will “take longer”. That’s what it’s designed to do: run on into the general election season, so the ‘Rats can run against the “corrupt” Trump, with his “chaotic” administration staggering from “scandal to scandal” …

"Each witness has so far provided more leads for investigators to chase down, including new names to potentially interview or seek documents from. Plus, Democrats have had to reschedule several witnesses, including some this week in part because of memorial services for the late Rep. Elijah Cummings, and others because they needed more time to retain lawyers.

In addition to the horrible prose (journalists can neither write nor report, the use of 'plus' is a carrying water word.

It is so laughably bad.

But basically 'Well we can't prove anything so ... we'll just say there is TOO MUCH evidence to conclude anything.'
