>> Trump will still be impeached.

Not in the same way, for example, Clinton was. Clinton had committed a serious crime and the political hurdle was not overcome.

Trump did not commit a crime. And as I've pointed out, the political hurdle can't be overcome without a crime. Even though I agree with Lane it is technically possible to impeach without a crime, it would be utterly meaningless.

So, I would say the 116th Congress will forever have a star beside it. Trump will bear no such scar.

The best thing that could happen to Congressional Democrats at this point would be for the Senate to just vote without hearing testimony and cut it loose. This does not deserve even an hour's worth of Senate time. IMO. It is a sham, not worthy of a constitutional process and should certainly receive no more seriousness than it was given by the House. Which was none.
