Democrats Are Nearing A Checkmate Position The Democrats, lead by Pelosi, Schiff, & Nadler, through their handlers, appear to be in a no win situation, especially if the impeachment is allowed to go to the Senate, unless the Senate is compromised? A Trial in the Senate will likely and publicly expose Rico Type crime(s) amongst the leaders of the Democratic Party (Schiff, Pelosi, and their handlers), the risk of going to the Senate is to big, especially if FISA goes both ways? Plus further expose the mockingbird media. It is more likely than not, that enough Democrats “appear” (are told) to break ranks, the ones in Trump districts will save Pelosi, Schiff, and others, from testifying at Impeachment trials in the Senate. The optics of Pelosi saying she is allowing her party to vote their conscience, is her escape plan.  By doing so, Pelosi is left an out and will be forced to step down as party leader, while giving their party supporters the feeling that they are trying for their voters, while making it seem in “Trump Country” districts that there are some reasonable Democrats still left in the Party worth voting for, hoping they can at least maintain some seats and continue to control the Congress? I believe it is possible that Lindsay Graham saying he wants a quick trial is bait, hoping the democrats vote to impeach?  Either way, Republicans have more pieces on the chess board and have the Democrats in a position where it is checkmate in 1 - 7 moves? Do the needed Democrat back benchers save the Democratic Party and vote no on impeachment, where Democrat leaders  avoid Subpoenas at Senate Trial?  If so, Trump has a field day marketing the fact that Democrats got nothing down in a year, except Trump negotiated USMCA and wasted millions of dollars trying to impeach or the Senate trial is a popcorn movie?
