Even if the votes leading to it might not be secret, perhaps there’s a way to get to removal. it’s not hard to imagine three senators supporting a secret ballot. (A)ccording to current Senate procedure, McConnell will still need a simple majority—51 of the 53
Digby asks some reasonable post-impeachment questions that are not so much about electability and fear-driven GOTV as it will be minimizing whatever negative messaging will be thrown at the Democratic nominee. The implication especially with the withdrawal of Kamala Harris is that ticket balancing could be

Because at this point, Individual-1 knows he has the impeachment acquittal votes, could Trump come before the Senate to make what would be a campaign speech. Trump doesn’t have to appear, but it seems more likely that with a GOP majority unwilling to have defections, Trump
Once the tax documents become available, the entirety of the Trump financial empire could unravel with Chicago Unit Acquisition LLC. No different than the LLC that Trump directed Michael Cohen to use in covering the Trump hush-money payoff for Stormy Daniels, this type of entity
