There is only one reason that the GOP has pivoted to "the impeachment inquiry must end" .

If all of the testimony were supportive of Trump, and his thoroughly discredited Ukraine/Biden/Burisma/2016 conspiracy theories, the GOP would insist on more hearings, and more testimony.

If all of the testimony supported the GOP meme that there was no bribery, the GOP would insist on more hearings, and more testimony.

If all, or any of the testimony was not causing voters to see that Trump committed crimes, the GOP would insist on more hearings, and more testimony.


But, as we all know, that is not the case. And as happened with the Mueller Report testimony, the GOP is in a hurry to shut down the investigation.

and allowing those who bought Trump to see him in a truer light. Plus it shows how tangled up they are with Russia. People will experience the actual truth in many different ways. It will paint a 3D picture of the truth. Something people can bite into.

This situation has a lot of pieces to it. And a lot of players.

And, of course, the unseen but most important player, Vladimir Putin.

And we know why. They are afraid that more people will speak out, and that more evidence will be brought forth.
