NYT: What to expect tomorrow

Wednesday
In the morning, the House is expected to vote to affirm the rules that the committee hashed out on Tuesday. This will be the first procedural vote by the full chamber to formally impeach Mr. Trump.

After that, expect a lot of parliamentary moves by the Republicans to register their opposition and slow the process. The votes we’re all waiting for — on the two articles of impeachment — are expected in the late afternoon, most likely between 4 and 6 p.m. The House will hold a vote on each of the two articles.

The House is also expected to vote to empower Speaker Nancy Pelosi to name impeachment managers, whose identities we are likely to learn in the coming days. The managers are House members who act much like prosecutors and present the House’s findings of its impeachment inquiry to the Senate. Senators hold a trial, where they have the power to convict the president — and remove him from office — or acquit him.

This is their moment in the sun. They see this as a chance to show their constituents that they are loyal to Trump.

I wonder what we can expect from the media coverage? Will they go running off with each and every distraction the Republicans throw out, or will they maintain their focus on the business at hand? I have a dollar that says they won't be able to help themselves. Artist's rendition of media focus:
