<It is in the interests of the Democrats to let this circus run for another six months to a year in the Senate so that the Republicans get sufficient time to ruin themselves!
Why the hell would the Democrats provide an "out" to the Republicans?>

Try to think about it logically Dippy:

How likely is it that we will see the Senators engaging in the kind of fights we have seen on the Judiciary comittee ? I suggest to you that the process will be infinitely more serious and revered than the one we have seen on the HJC and the House, because of how unique, historic and momentous it will be.

Also, the focus will no longer be on wether the HJC is fair, but rather, on wether the facts demand that Clinton remain in office, or be removed.

With this in mind, how likely is it that Democrat Senators will argue that Clinton did not lie under oath, and did not obstruct justice ?

Would it be fair to say that at least half or more of the Democrat Senators would concede that indeed, Clinton lied under oath and obstructed Justice ? (Remember, a majority of the public agrees with that.)

When this consensus is reached, how on earth could Clinton remain in office ?

There is a reason the WH is fighting so desesperately at this time. They know that if this case reaches the Senate, Clinton is finished.
