A couple of days ago, I went out on a limb and said that impeachment would either never come to a vote, or would be voted down, because the last thing the Dems want is a Senate trial, with the Repubs calling witnesses and asking questions. Now, an interesting "straw in the wind":
The House Majority Whip is Jim Clayton. His job is persuasion and arm twisting to get the votes that the Speaker of the House needs. Rep Clayton has publicly said that he is NOT trying to round up impeachment votes, and that members should vote their conscience.
In other words, either 1) Nancy has all the votes she needs to impeach (unlikely), or 2) Nancy knows that it is all just for show, and she can't get the votes she needs to impeach.
We have an interesting few weeks ahead.
