That’s an eternity when it comes to bombshells and Leaks

You know they are coming.

Every single reporter for the nyt and wapo is feverishly working the phones right now looking for sources and leads.

ZERO sleep for these rabid animals till Wednesday.

Exactly, seal the chamber and vote on this tonight to get it over with. This trial was DOA anyway.

There is nothing they can say that will remove TRUMP from office. That was never and is never going to happen.

It’s actually a good deal. They can’t end it tonight no matter what they do. So get a break. Come back with specific rules.

You got to let people speak and they’re allowing it, rules dictate this.

The biggest thing is they can’t amend motions and there’s some non debated motions. That saved a ton of time

Don’t love it, but the dems are already going all in on their illegitimate acquittal talking points. Tells me they know it’s over, only strategy left is to undermine he results. So I’m not expecting any substantial leaks. Maybe a couple more nothingburger snippets from Bolton’s book, but nothing with the potential of turning the tide

So would it speed things along if the R’s all declined their 10 minutes? 47 D’s x 10 = 470 minutes...so about 8 hours. Shouldn’t have to go all the way to Wednesday.

Valid concern, no doubt. But I'm of the thinking that this inevitability has been factored in to all decisions made to present. To me it's sorta a vote of no confidence as to credibility of the likely subject matter and sources of such that is realistically expected.

Think of this as a chess match, the move you make sets up the next one. They will do whatever they think they need to rid themselves of our president. The one real question is how much they want to expose themselves to do it. They never sleep, but neither those on our side. Damn, I'm sounding very Qish.

The Senators are like Bugs dive bombing into a light -!ie a TV camera light. They all want some air time - including Republicans. I am surprised that it might not wrap up over the weekend. Nobody on he red team wants many more days of Bolton dropping the bombs.

It will force a pretty tough decision...

Fire a few more founds into this lost cause or save some dry powder for impeachment 2.0.
