WASHINGTON Democrats this week enter a do-or-die phase of their impeachment inquiry following a week of public testimony, as they summon a flurry of witnesses they hope will convince the public that President Trump should be impeached for pressing a foreign government to launch criminal investigations for his political benefit.
The hearings follow a rare weekend in which a key White House official was deposed and the transcripts were released from two additional closed-door depositions of administration officials.
Earlier in the week three veteran diplomats testified in public, soberly describing the ramifications of the presidents pressure campaign undermining Ukraine, a stalwart U.S. ally at war with Russia, and eroding U.S. stature across the globe, they said.
Constitutional scholars say Democrats have succeeded in laying important groundwork. Now the hard part begins: proving that Trump abused his power and that his actions are serious enough to justify his impeachment.

More hearings will be additional gravy on top of the carcass. The stuffing is gone, the bird is cold, dead, and probably toxic. But some will still partake and suffer bloating and screaming. With true justice this will be a supreme case of Darwin's evolution and pruning the weakest and stupidest.
