The hard work is done. They found the smoking gun evidence that is impossible to defend. Trump is guilty.
All they have to do now is wrap up all the evidence, put a bow on it and send it to the Senate with this hidden message.
We dare you to vote against this evidence.

The process is working. Not ideal, but such contested political processes are rooted in realism - not idealism.

(9,263 posts)a month or 2 at least, perhaps until Xmas as turmp/gop will appeal in federal court. And depending on how far the House Leadership want to go. To me, its all in, this is the one and only chance. That gotta use every bit of power they have under the constitution and House rules.
Send the Sgt of Arms, forcefully detain, etc

Political, culture change takes time. Impeachment Now is trump's best hope.
