    The T rump supporters in the congressional hearings are the ultimate hypocrites, constant prevaricators, users of manipulative and false assertions, champions of alternative facts (BIG LIES), and dirty tricksters, and often owners of really stupid sounding colloquial accents.  They try one line of attack after another.  When one of their lines of attack is shown to be absurd, they go to the next line of attack, until its absurdity is revealed, then on and on, often returning to previous lines of attack.  Tho this is not done with any logical flow, on their part, except to be relentless in denying the validity of the evidence of T rump’s high crimes and misdemeanors.

    The reality is that T rump will have articles of Impeachment sent to the Senate in the relatively near future.   The Senate will no doubt attempt more dirty tricks.  But they don’t need to in order to protect T rump.  They just need 34 Senators to NOT vote to remove T rump from office.

    This will be an opportunity for T rump to declare victory.  He will claim to be totally exonerated.  He will say that the crazy Dems failed yet again in another “attempted coup”.  But worse, he will claim that he was right about him being able to do whatever he wants.  He will be irrevocably above the law.  He will re-assert his claim that he has the authority to do whatever he wants and that Congress cannot Impeach him, and that his DOJ will not investigate him.  Another bulwark against the loss of our Republic will have been taken out.  Trump can continue to make up crimes to accuse his political opponents of, and he can continue to use our aid to other govts as a cudgel to extort them into coming up with fake opposition “investigations” of whichever opponent T rump wants targeted.  In fact T rump will be able to do any dirty trick, or crime, without concerns of even being investigated.  Our 2020 election will be subject to being corrupted by whatever T rump decides to do, between now and then.

    It is not hyperbole to warn all Americans, that our great experiment in a Democratic Republic is most likely coming to an end.
