The Repubs have hit on a fail-safe way to prevent witnesses.

They have painted a vivid awful picture of court case after court case for every subpoena, if any are authorized. I can imagine Dems throwing up their hands in defeat at that threat.

I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see why. Do you? Any hope?

The 4 Dem candidates seem to be holding their own in Iowa.

Extended trial won't go on for hours daily if drawn out. There will be plenty of time while the protests and appeals are worked out for campaigning.

The steady drip of testimony will wear on Trump and likely elevate his madness.

It means the Impeachment Trial remains open on Trump indefinitely, and a cloud remains over his head.

That preventng relevant witnesses and documents prove Trump's guilt before the voters and the world.

Republicans defending this wretched man will pay at the ballot box when voters demand accountability. Voting has never become so important than in the times we are living in now.
