House Democrats have been eager to vote to impeach President Trump since January 3, 2019 when they became the majority in the 116th Congress. On that day, House Resolution 13 was submitted by Rep. Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) for himself and Rep. Al Green (D-Texas). This resolution called for the "impeachment and trial, and removal from office" of President Trump. It is to be expected that the impeachment vote will be adopted, roughly by the 232-196 vote that authorized a one-sided, invidious "impeachment inquiry." The impeachment resolution will probably be brought to the Senate by early 2020, if not sooner. The Senate, however, can be expected to give short shrift to the biased impeachment resolution drafted by the Democrats.
Bear in mind that 50 Republican senators sponsored a resolution that, in a remarkable final preambular paragraph singling out the chairman of the Intelligence Committee by name, declared: "Whereas, rather than giving President Trump the same due process rights that President Clinton had to raise and litigate claims of constitutional privilege, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff has repeatedly threatened to use President Trump's assertion of his constitutional rights as evidence of obstruction and to impeach President Trump for trying to litigate those claims..." Chairman Schiff ignored this GOP plea for fairness, asserting, November 4, that the refusal of four White House officials to honor Intelligence Committee subpoenas for testimony was, as reported by CNBC, "'further evidence of an effort by the administration to obstruct the lawful and constitutional duties of Congress." That is to say, House Democrats rebuffed the fairness plea from Senate Republicans and continue to insist on twisting constitutional rights into evidence deserving impeachment.

Of course they want the impeachment circus to run concurrently with the primaries. The last thing they want is the public actually paying attention to how crappy their candidates are.
Brad Sherman is Commander Egghead and Al Green is the Wild Man from Borneo.

...After the House votes for impeachment, and the Senate dismisses the invidious Democratic action out of hand, Prof. Tribe, likely, will be among those railing against the Senate GOP majority for creating a constitutional crisis in rejecting the impeachment resolution ... Democrats will be relentless in their anti-Trump hyperbole, and their media megaphones will blast the anti-Trump message continuously.
This is why the Republicans must follow a 'Scorched Earth' policy as far as the Senate trial ... calling every witness and publicly exposing every falsehood so the media cannot lie about the content. A short dismissal works for the Democrats just as well as a short trial. This trial should be lengthy and expose the Democrats and Deep State for what they are.
The rats are gonna get exactly what they deserve.
Anybody besides me happy that the work of Barr and Durham hasn’t been leaked?
