I agree. Do not think they will ultimately have the vote to impeach:
1. May not have votes. Nothing was proved. There are a number of Democrats in Trump districts (30?) who have to think long and hard.
2. Trump’s pushing for a Senate Trial and the GOP talking about who they will call (which could be extremely damaging to the Democrats) should make Pelosi and Shiff think twice. Having him on the stand in the Senate could be very entertaining.
3. Obviously, will not get 20 GOP’s in the Senate to convict; so just a PR stunt which will greatly benefit the GOP.
Only risk is if Chief Justice Roberts gets all super cautious and limits witnesses, testimony, etc. He did call Obamacare a tax! The legacy of the Supreme Court is more important to him than anything. You can bet he is a never trumpet as well.
Chief Justice Roberts will have to have recusal questions regarding his overseeing of the FISA Courts before he does any “presiding”! Even if some see this question as a nothing burger, it already is out in the media. What does he know of the Stzrok rewritten Fisa warrant allowing spying on the Trumps?
Roberts does not have any authority except keeping them from being rowdy.
