1/ Ultimately, regardless of the decision on witnesses or documents, losing comes with a political cost. And spin as they might, an acquittal is a loss for Democrats.
2/ Now how the voting breaks will matter. But if Republicans hang together on all votes and the acquittal then this entire impeachment effort by Democrats will never have garnered a single Republican vote.
3/ Not retiring Republicans with no political future. No moderate Republicans Senators. Not even any Senators facing a tough re-election. That will be a stinging defeat and will have historical and narrative implications.
1/ Here is an important thread from June 2018. It laid out much of my theories from that time regarding Mueller and DOJ.
This was the first time Trump walked out of the WH to meet the media on the lawn. Why is that significant?

2/ According to John Dowd by 3/5/18, Mueller told Dowd that Trump wasn’t a target of the investigation. Trump then fired McMaster, hired Bolton, fired Tillerson as SoS, hired Pompeo, hired Giuliani and set up the highly compartmentalized computer put in place to hold transcripts.
3/ By the time Trump stepped out onto the WH lawn in June, which as we now know would become a permanent shift in Trump’s PR strategy, Trump had all his pieces in place. In retrospect it’s clear that by this point Trump was unshackled and engaged in a new phase of his Presidency.
