I guess time will tell, but I'm still in favor of the House starting a dedicated impeachment inquiry, and then holding a series of televised hearings touching on all of the allegations and wrongdoing of this administration. And it's not just Trump, we've had corruption, coverups, and criminal behavior from quite a number of executive branch officials. I agree there is probably no way to hold a successful trial in this Senate, so don't. Public hearings laying out all of the crimes will (1) expose the large amount of rot in this administration, because let's face it, as awful as Trump is, he couldn't have done it without the explicit help of a few key people as well as the silence/implicit help from large numbers of other people, (2) aid in another landslide election for Democrats and non-complicit Republicans and Independents, (3) largely prevent most further misdeeds by this administration, although admittedly without immediate removal there will still be problems and painful consequences for the nation and many vulnerable people, and (4) allow the NEXT Congress to begin the arduous task of rebuilding the executive branch, while handing over their impeachment inquiry findings to prosecutors to start charging these criminals.
