Pretty much all polling is showing that there is less than 50% support for impeachment from the electorate. How can Democrats justify it when less than a majority of Americans support it? The whole thing is so ridiculous, even as a purely "political exercise."
Also, there are so many bear traps for the Dems if a Senate trial happens. I would really love for someone to explore Fiona Hill's testimony that 1) she saw the Steel Dossier the day before it was publicized and 2) she believes Steele was "played" by the Russians and the Dossier was a "rabbit hole." (You don't see this part of her testimony on the MSM, do you?)
Obviously Steele wasn't "played," he deliberately disseminated Russkie disinformation about Trump--that's what he was getting paid for!--and Fiona Hill knows Steele wasn't an innocent dupe of the Russians.
Bottom line is that Fiona HIll's testimony is that the Dossier was complete b.s., phoney Russian-sourced propaganda to influence the outcome of the 2016 election, and that she KNEW what it was before it was ever released.
Right now I think Pelosi will find some excuse to never hold an impeachment vote, unless the polling swings heavily in favor of it, which seems very unlikely at this point.
I bet the House will vote to censure Trump not to impeach him.
