The presidency is under attack by hostile forces who are making sure it does not do well.
Trump is fearless, he even stares down eclipses.
If they are dumb enough to vote out articles of impeachment without clear convincing courtroom quality evidence of lawbreaking by the President they are going to pay a price that makes 2016 look like a picnic.
Right now Pelosi is playing games. She didn't have a House vote so she didn't really do anything. Now they are trying to bully State Department employees into testifying without legal representation, which frankly, should get any attorneys in the House demanding this disbarred by their home states. But if they are Blue States, they won't. The Secretary of State properly told The House to stuff it. We will see how they respond.
I think Pelosi tries dragging this out because she knows she has nothing. Then they will try to widen the inquiry from the phone call to something else to impeach him over, because the phone isn't going to cut it. Trump immediately released everything, without redaction which caught them with their shorts down because they had an entire media blitz of lies about the contents of the phone call. That led to the thud of Schiff lying about it, like he always planned to, as he was too thickheaded to change tactics when suddenly his audience all had a complete transcript the phone-call he was lying about.
I think they will likely thrash around some more, and if they pass out anything it will be Obstruction of the Counter Intelligence investigation started by Leaky Comey and finished by Dirty Bob.
That will similarly thud because it was a counter-intelligence investigation, not a criminal investigation. You can obstruct a criminal investigation, but there is no "obstruction" of a counter intelligence investigation because a counter-intelligence investigation is not for building criminal charges, it is for keeping the President informed of foreign national security threats so that he can respond to them appropriately. Since they are for the president, he may guide and direct them in any manner that he sees fit.
The entire thing has been a farce. But, impeachment keeps the eyeballs glued in, which we will exploit for Durham and Barr's reports.
I'm fine with them voting out impeachment articles. I want to get to the bottom of this, confident that wrong doing will be exposed, but not by Donald Trump, rather by the vile pit of vipers that formed in our Intelligence Community during The Obama Administration.
They need to be stomped out and our Democracy restored.
