Managers and Articles approved to be sent to Senate

[OliverQ]

Apparently Justice Roberts and Senators being sworn in tomorrow with trial starting next week.

Everyone should brace themselves for a fairly quick acquittal. I don't see any scenario where Republicans actually vote to convict him.

1. Parnas interview

Might it be critical to a possible conviction? Could he involve Trump in criminal conspiracy? Did Pelosi know this was coming?

2. Well, that depends on whether there will be witnesses, really.

The Articles of Impeachment were written before Parnas send his materials to the house. That might stop those materials from being used in the trial. I don't know.

3. Agree

But the Parnas material is being included with the articles as evidence.

[MineralMan]

4. OK, thanks!

[OliverQ]

5. I don't believe Republicans will vote to convict no matter how much

evidence comes out against Trump.

[Pantagruel]

6. Probably true

but the more obvious the guilt the better the chances of a miracle.
Eventually, the guilt should filter down to voters, at least to the few GOP loyalists left who still care about the rule of law.
