Much discussion in the office about IMPEACHMENT yesterday!
I held to my view - the Republicans will never convict Trump.
Another person was quite persuasive - "But they can't be seen to run a kangaroo court in the eyes of the American people - they have to run a real trial, and if they do, how do they escape the fact that he actually is guilty?"
A very good point.
Mitch McConnell said yesterday that the way that the Democrats ran the enquiry in the House of Representatives essentially indicts them!? This is a propaganda line that will have no bearing on the trial, which will be based on evidence and summations based on that evidence. This trial will be real.
Two thoughts...
Bolten has never testified. He apparently expressed extreme distaste for Giuliani's subterranean foreign policy, which was run when he was National Security Advisor. He will testify this time - if he says he thought that there was a "quid pro quo", then all bets are off.
The opinion polls regarding impeachment are all over the place...these are the only things the Republicans really care about. If they start to solidly favour impeachment as the trial proceeds, Trump will be in very deep trouble.
Interesting that the editor in chief of Christianity Today called for Trump's ouster from the WH. The centre-right conservative Christians may be persuaded... interesting times.
