While three or four Senators have suggested a six-week impeachment period...I think the peak will occur around the 7th to 14th day, and the public interest will dwindle down real quick after that, when they realize there is no real evidence....just witnesses who ‘think’ they know something.
I also think the key subpoena that will occur will be for Hunter Biden, which he may be attempting to leave the US over the weekend to avoid this (my humble thought). I don’t think you need to subpoena Joe Biden because you’ve already got the video of him, and Trump’s team will simply run that for everyone to see the obvious comment.
I did notice the Sergeant-of-Arms for the Senate stating that if anyone attempts to break the ‘rules’...he’ll remove them from the hall. One of those rules was the ‘no-electronics’ allowed in the chamber.
I think all of the dwindling has already happened in the real world.
I haven't heard a single mention of impeachment or trial in about six weeks at work or anywhere else, and there are couple of true believer activist democrats in my office.
