Speaker Pelosi seems to be quietly revealing the grand strategy.

If the Senate holds a two-week show trial and clears him...

...the NEXT impeachment investigation and the NEXT set of hearings will begin shortly.

Will it be emoluments?

Will it be obstructing the Mueller investigation?

Will it be any of a number of other clearly impeachable offenses for which the six House Committees, staff, and counsel are receiving new high-quality evidence almost daily?

Stay tuned.

[Redacted] may indeed go down in history as the first-- and hopefully ONLY-- office holder under the U.S. Constitution to be impeached MULTIPLE TIMES.

And each time will contribute to the loss of another GOP Senate seat, as they continue the striptease down to their sleazy, suppurating, scaly skins and reveal the pathetic losers within.

prognosticatorially,
Bright

1. I don't agree. One impeachment is easier for the public to follow. Remember

Trump voters are easily fooled with too much information.

9. not sure if stringing this out forever is a great strategy either

But Pelosi has been pretty adept at running the show so far. Willing to let her play her hand. (and we're not 100% that the OP is right about the way the hand IS going to be played either)

...as Amy Klobuchar said when asked if a woman could beat Trump, "Nancy Pelosi beats him every day."

(Tried to post that wonderful photo of Nancy standing and staring Trump down in a roomful of seated and abashed men. Just imagine it.)

and post it in the message text field. Granted, that is easier said than done on a non-desktop computer. One day, I'm going to try it from an Android phone first in regular mode and then in desktop mode. Since I don't own Apple devices, I couldn't tell you how that works.

Here is my setup:

13. I could imagine him getting impeached again, but only if he wins a second term.

It took Pelosi long enough to sign on to one impeachment - she held back and waited for a clear and unambiguous case to emerge before she acted. I don't think she will want to risk overplaying her hand.
