I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but it seems to be that courts take months to solve these things and the Dems want to move quickly. So instead of waiting, they're going now with what they have , and will keep investigating next year.
So I think the Dems are using the courts to force testimony, but the Dems don't want to wait months for the cases to resolve.
the problem with the judge oveseeing the trial is that apparently the Senate can overrule him. So Roberts may say ' you are not allowed to put Joe Biden in the witness stand' but Mitch can overrule that by putting it to a senate vote.
If this is the case then Dems are idiots. Why would they want to be in a position to get overruled in the Senate and have to go on defense, when they could have continued to make a super strong case for having to go through lengthy court process because trump wouldn't let these people testify? I was under the impression they were going to look to the chief justice to force a fairer process. This is the only impeachment which the POTUS has not cooperated AT ALL.
it will just take too long, that's all. Dems want to roll now. An impeachment trial a month before the election would be just a bit hairy.
But even after the trial, dems will continue to investigate. There will be trump investigations for years and years and years.
And there will be plenty of damaging testimony at the trial, for pete's sake.
