re: #175 DangerMan
- i’ve mentioned several times the idea of holding the hearings and then not voting thus robbing the senate of grandstanding with the trial
- depending on what they uncover, you are right that the reaction may be to see it as exoneration - especially if the investigation is weak
- (i think that’s unlikely considering what we already know)here’s yet another scenario:
- the house starts investigating
- they build a strong case
- they know they have the votes for impeachment
- they hold the vote next october
- no time for the senate to hold a grandstanding trial before november( i can dream cant i?)
The hearings took FOREVER with Watergate. And Nixon wasn’t stonewalling anywhere near as much as Trump is/will.
