re: #317 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

to impeach and fail to convict will be a de facto victory for him and only help him get re-elected

The point of impeachment hearings is to gather the evidence for the charges to be laid.

If the GOP wants to go all partisan in the Senate, hang around the necks of every Republican up for election that they were presented with the evidence and they chose criminal over country.

Moreover, an impeachment hearing now runs into campaign season.

It took two years to get to the point of an insignificant break-in at a Washington hotel until Nixon resigned, and he still had the crasification factor of conservatives supporting him.
