GOP Senators think the coverup works for them, because acquitting with *less* info about Trump's corruption is easier. But Trump/McConnell don't wield total control. The group American Oversight tells me they're getting State Dept docs in Feb. New piece: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/…
A few points in this piece.

First, no GOP Senator wants to be the 51st vote for new witnesses and evidence.

Being the decisive vote in favor of truth and transparency would be the ultimate betrayal of Trump.

That's why the coverup will likely happen:

Second point:

The nonprofit group American Oversight just received reams of WH emails showing internal frictions over the legality of Trump's corrupt freezing of military aid.

Many are redacted.

But that may not stand. And I'm told lots more is coming:

Final point:

"There is a strangely ingrained media narrative that treats Mitch McConnell as the devious and all-controlling wizard behind the Senate curtain. But McConnell’s control over what we end up learning is not absolute. And neither is Trump’s."
