Pelosi herself said impeachment must be “compelling,” “overwhelming,” and "bipartisan.”
After 2 weeks of sham hearings, the Democrats’ case against @realDonaldTrump is dead — and the only thing that’s “bipartisan” is the opposition to their entire charade.

Via Fox News:
With impeachment proceedings moving swiftly after a spree of dramatic hearings, the expectation that the House will vote to impeach President Trump and trigger a Senate trial has been treated as a fait accompli — but the president’s allies still see a scenario, however remote, wherein congressional Democrats could fall short.
As with so many debates in Washington, it could all come down to the moderates.
A senior administration official claimed Friday, after the apparent conclusion of House Intelligence Committee hearings, that it’s “not clear the House is going to impeach.”
This, despite House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., declaring the “evidence of Trump’s misconduct is already overwhelming” — and many Democrats playing up testimony that linked top officials to a pressure campaign on Ukraine to investigate the Bidens and asserted an Oval Office meeting, and possibly aid, were used as leverage.
Yet as with the Russia investigation, while the hearings have been covered extensively — featuring analysis replete with phrases such as “game over” and “the walls are closing in” — the polling suggests the needle isn’t moving much in the court of public opinion.
