Seven Impeachment Assumptions to Ignore
Conventional wisdom is meaningless. Nothing is set in stone. The possibilities are endless

In May, it looked like Pelosi would never impeach. Now she has—and she’s playing her hand beautifully, doing what she can to ensure there is a fair trial in the Senate.

The point here is that we don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know, you don’t know, and the Chuck Todds and Chris Cillizzas of the world certainly have no fucking clue. The conventional wisdom can safely be thrown out the window—and so can these seven media-reinforced impeachment assumptions:

1. Mitch McConnell will never allow a fair trial in the Senate
...
2. The key witnesses will not testify
...
3. The Republican strategy will work like gangbusters
...
4. The Supreme Court is corrupt and MAGA
...
5. The Senate will never vote to remove Trump
...
6. Trump would never resign
...
7. Mike Pence will pardon Trump.
...

To be clear: this is not a forecast. I’m not decreeing that all of these things will happen, just that they realistically could, for the reasons stated. Nothing about impeachment is fait accompli, excepting the one thing I know for sure: that we shall prevail.
