Reply #31: In spite of all of the howling and self righteous indignation here (by the only "real" Democrats)

impeachment will not even reach the House floor for a vote much less go to the Senate for trial. Not everybody who is indicted is convicted and in this case we know who the jury will be ahead of time and also have a good idea of how they will vote. Many prosecutors will not indict if they believe there is no chance of conviction, especially if they know who the jury will be ahead of time and if they would vote to convict. (Sorry, that's not a strawman argument, that is reality. I understand the difference.)
