Impeachment hearings wind up - what next?

The witch-hunt ["hearings", shurely. Ed.] into who said what to whom about an "investigation" into something or somebody ground to a halt last night, and not a moment to soon. The rehash of testimony already given behind closed doors revealed that people have selective memories, heaer what they want to hear, and don't hear what they don't want to hear. Nothing there to see (or hear), folks.

This morning the Dumbocrats are asking themselves

Rolling polls taken throughout the witch-hunt suggest that Americans remain divided, roughly 50-50, almost totally along party lines. Few Republicans were persuaded to throw Still-President Trump under the bus, and few Democrats admitted (publicly, at least) that the whole impeachment strategy was a mistake that will backfire on them in just under a year's time.

What happens next? Next week is Thanksgiving Week -- giving thanks for surcease from partisan politics would be appropriate -- so we won't likely see the vote of the House Judiciary Committee until December. They will almost certainly vote to impeach. (Lifetime pct .982.) That will mean a trial in Senate, likely in January, following which the Senate will vote against removing the President from office. (Lifetime pct .982.) The 2020 election campaign can then begin in earnest.
