It won't matter


I think the Dem House should indeed keep investigations into Trump's crimes open and ongoing, and I think they should call Bolton to testify.  It won't change the fact that it is up to the electorate to denounce Trump at the ballot box in November in overwhelming numbers so that we can get  him out of the White House.

I don't think, however, that it will be a major event, unless the White House has refused to okay publication of his book and there are more scandals he has to reveal.  After all, Lamar Alexander has just admitted that all the crimes we know about already have been proven, but they're okay and not grounds to remove Trump from office.   He can now, literally, if not legally or constitutionally, do anything he wants.  And he will.

We are saddled with this soulless personification of crony capitalism and caricature of evil greed until at least 2021.  And, I'm afraid, in Adam Schiff's words, we are lost.  Recovery will be slow and arduous.
