This whole Dog and Pony show is meant for the Democrats to turn to their base and tell them, “Ok, we tried!”
scenario
they come up with charges
house votes to impeach - we followed through for you
senate takes it up - no removal
Dems next step. We need house and senate to ensure we can proceed to remove him once if he is reelected as we don’t think the senates decision was fair...
Have you cake and eat it too.
Alternate scenario: The Senate votes to convict based on all the Rats plus Deep State Republicans, Republicans who have been shown their own intelligence files and those who have been promised wealth in exchange for their treachery. Then Patriotic Americans storm the capitol and take back their government and the seditious representatives and Senators spend their last days in small cells listening to the scaffolds being constructed outside. (Dreams.)
