1. To impeach or not to impeach? That is the question. It just got a lot more real with the new determination that Trump directed Cohen to commit a crime. https://twitter.com/jonfavs/status/1071175435206049792 …

7. So: Politics is in command. Impeachment without removal is only of symbolic value -- and dubious value at that. If the goal is removal, then the best path forward remains elections. In the meantime Dem congress can continue to investigate.

11. We're in a very murky place, with no clear answers and should be ready to change our minds. But for now, I think its best to think politically and keep our eyes on the prize. The goal is getting Trump out of office. 2020 is not too far away.

Even with 20 senators, couldn't McConnell just not schedule a trial? Would probably need a majority of his caucus on board, so the magic number would be more like 27.

He has shown aptitude for not scheduling things.

He'd lose Murkowski, but would he lose Sullivan?
