(1,837 posts)Sorry, I adore Ms Pelosi so much and cant wait to see her be Speaker again, I perhaps put too much emphasis on her personally. Shes a personal hero of mine and thats coming from a man! What I really meant is that a Dem majority House instantly brings Russia to the very fore and will embolden Mueller, if hes a honest actor, to really bring the hammer down on Russiagate and he has power even before the new congress is sworn in.
As far as a senate trial, Trent Lott ruled in 1998 that a senate must hold a trial on impeachment if the house sends impeachment articles on over. So, while granted they dont need to follow a precedent one of their very own set, they may just be run out of town if they dont hold a trial
Further, I am betting that the sheer force of the post-election Mueller indictments alone forces Trump out and there will be no need for a polticized impeachment process.
Nov 6 matters so much because I firmly believe Mueller is just waiting to have an ally before he moves and he gets one if the election prediction model posted in the OP is even close to being accurate!
