I was just pointing out that an impeachment is not a criminal prosecution. There will be no getting Trump to accept a plea bargain after loading up on charges. No way to agree to, "you only get 6 more months in office." There will be no jury of half-witted randos off the street, who the prosecutor can convince to that they must have done something wrong for him to keep you from going to work for a week. There will be a jury of 100 persons who are all highly interested in the result of the case.
Also, impeachment is not a Festivus celebration. There is no provision in the Constitution for airing of grievances in this process. The more you include, the more distractions you have. And the more distractions you have, the easier it is for people to dismiss the whole thing. I think we can all agree that Trump is better at distractions than Pelosi is.
So if you want an impeachment to succeed, it has to be very narrowly focused. There should be exactly two articles of impeachment. Probably one for the crime, and one for the cover-up thereof. Keep everything on the same topic. The second article is so that Senators have something to vote against, so they can show that while they don't like Trump, they also hate liberal investigations.
