#1 The whole thing is a hit job from day one. The Dems and the establishment Repubs cut a deal to squash him. Kinda like what they did to the Tea Party.

#2 Everything these days is tending towards zero threshold. I think soon, the DOJ will just send out letters to random people telling them they have probably committed a crime and will be indicted soon.

We're headed from "burden of proof" to "burden to prove you are innocent," the exact opposite of what the Founders intended.

#3 Ah, but my wife, who thinks he is guilty of many things, observed, "Well, this is not a criminal trial. The senators can vote on evidence or politics."

I think that supports Ed's statement (#1).

#4 In an impeachment case, the defendant’s popularity is important as the evidence. They certainly can remove him without evidence, but voters are awake an engaged. Getting the Liz Cheney treatment will become a more and more common occurrence going forward.

#5 Bernalillo DA piles on, won't enforce NM dem gubberner's unconstitutional anti-2A "health emergency.

This is how politicians who understand the law can check and balance those that don't.

#6 I think the gubner understands the law well enough. She just disagrees with it, and so it goes away.
