NOTES
1⃣ The vote on witnesses will likely be close. It seems there are 50 votes for Bolton—at least—but if there aren't more, it's not clear Roberts has the courage to break a tie.
2⃣ Whether or not this sham trial results in a sham acquittal, the Ukraine scandal will explode.

NOTES (2)
3⃣ Sham acquittal or not, more damning facts about Trump and Ukraine will emerge—likely weekly—for the next 40+ weeks.
4⃣ More scandals are coming: Trump-China, Trump-Turkey, Trump-Venezuela, Trump-Iran, and more Trump-Russia and Trump-Ukraine revelations. Count on it.

NOTES (3)
5⃣ The odds of another impeachment inquiry—and more articles of impeachment—are far higher than you may think, as right now many Trump scandals and crimes are being ignored. It won't stay that way.
6⃣ Expect all prior House investigations to continue—and more to start.

NOTES (4)
7⃣ Half or more of Americans want Trump convicted and removed—even according to Fox News. Republican claims that Americans oppose this impeachment are not borne out by the evidence. The price to be paid from this impeachment will land most heavily on Trump and the GOP.

NOTES (5)
8⃣ It goes without saying, and some may say it doesn't matter at all in the short-term, but history will report the political party known as the "Republican Party"—whose continued existence 20 years from now is unclear—was thoroughly corrupt at the end of its lifespan.

NOTES (6)
9⃣ History will further report Trump's defenders in Congress as scoundrels. Standing with a criminal will be the first line in their obituaries.
🔟 It's a fact—historical, legal, political, and ethical—that the end of the impeachment trial will be the *end* of nothing.
