Gotta keep up the illusion that the GOP might vote to remove him so the House will vote to impeach.

Neither will happen. Think about it. House would have to give Republicans subpoena powers, the public would see what has been going on and that would sink the whole operation.

Worst case, if they succeeded there would occur a hot civil war that would make Gettysburg look like a Boy Scout jamboree. Libs, regardless of their protective services, would find themselves getting a last smoke and a blindfold. Who's side do you think the military would join? Unfortunately Russia and China would benefit while the USA is weakened to the point of needing the last rites of what has now become an almost defunct Roman Catholic Church. JMHO

Whether it will happen is not the issue. The point is that if they pretend the Senate might decide to convict then they might be able to persuade the Dems to impeach.

I wouldn't count on the public seeing any of it. Freepers would know but 99% of the people never heard of FreeRepulic, they only know what is on the 5:00 O'Clock news.
