Why the House May Never Hand Impeachment to the Senate

Once you hand the articles over....the Senate process would start, and likely be over in roughly twenty days (more or less). 

The trouble with this discussion is that Hunter and Joe Biden were skipped for the most part in the House 'game'....but neither can avoid the Senate episode, and for Joe Biden....if he's dragged in via subpoena and made to swear on 'truth'.....his reputation for the most part ends.  For Hunter, the allegations of money-laundering will be laid out and likely gets him the full focus of the Treasury Department and the FBI. 

I might be willing to bet that Pelosi and team have reached a point where they know the score is zero on convicting Trump and they need some exit to play this game out. 

Reputation for the whole affair?  If they fail to hand the Impeachment articles over by the middle of January, then the whole thing starts to die off because the news media can't keep people focused on this whole thing.  Adding to it, by mid-January.....the Super Bowl and NCAA basketball business starts up. 

I'll go and predict that if nothing happens with the House articles by 10th of January (the 2nd Friday of the month), then it's finished, and just dissolves away as a Jeopardy question. 

Should they have gone to Censure?  Yes.  But it's late now to admit that.

Adding to Trump's campaign funds in this Impeachment build-up?  That's another huge part of the story.  He probably collected a minimum of 50-million in this past hundred days. 

We can laugh, but this is a pretty lousy joke.
