I'll say it again: It doesn't matter what Democrats say now, or intend now. They will impeach Trump, because he won't give them any choice. So I hope they're preparing themselves for it.

The most bizarre thing about this idiotic, embarrassing line of questioning by Eric Schmitt is that it’s totally irrelevant Even if Jack Smith went to a basketball game in Atlanta-he didn’t-there isn’t even a scintilla of proof that he met, much less conspired with Fani Willis 35 days

Look at the graph or follow the link. The entire change in fortunes began on February 28th. Dems bottomed out and haven't stopped rising since. GOP recovered for a few weeks to their high, and have barely returned to it since. This must be one of the greatest all-time political blunders.

Aside from toeing the party line, these senators really hate Jack Smith because they're viscerally opposed to the idea of prosecuting politicians. They are committed to their own elite impunity above and beyond whatever they think of Trump. Thus their obsession with the phone records non-issue.

It's pretty disturbing that the vast majority of news coverage about this (a) has no follow up from Schmitt (b) is not humiliating or devastating to Schmitt but rather is sports-politics coverage "Schmitt tried to catch Smith but couldn't". It's liek describing a strike-out, or a sack.It's pathetic.
