    The whole purpose of this “impeachment” was to distract the country from Trump’s woes. They tried to keep the focus on Hunter/Joe Biden, but that fizzled out, so they needed a new target. Mayorkas was just the ticket (especially funny after the GQP downed the most friendly border bill they’ll ever see)

      Yeah I agree, but damn if they haven’t done a shit job of selling it. Also, when your key witness the whole thing is predicated on goes to jail for lying about the key claims of them being a witness…

      Its a veritable nothing-burger feast.

        That’s sort of the intention though. Make as many impeachments seem as meaningless as possible so you don’t remember Trump’s being dismissed immediately. Normalize impeachments. Normalize criminal trials. Normalize civil trials.
