Is the Goal of Predicted State Funeral Distraction to Prevent Completing Trial Before Scheduled State of the Union on Feb 4th? Remember that  1.  Constitution requires congress close session b4 attending the SOTU.  Remember when out of session is the best time to arrest congressmen. 2.  Congressmen can be arrested for felonies and treason at anytime but, doing so right b4 the SOTU gives Trump the floor for hours to explain his case for making arrests.  And no one can accuse him of interfering with congressional voting schedule since congress is in recess.    3.  Remember last SOTU, Nancy cancelled it and then refused to reschedule for awhile and then finally did.  They dont like him being able to tell US what's going on in prime time.  The scariest thing is an awake voting public.  Or they fear mass arrest while they are all gathered together.  Que my fantasy of arrests at the SOTU: (Wouldnt that be AWESOME?  Maybe someday!) The cameras pan into the room and all the Congressmen are there to welcome Trump and then in come the US marshalls and start  making  arrests.  Some will resist arrest and be carried out against there will.  Feinsteins lipstick will get all smeared as she becomes like a demon in her rebukes of the officers. Pelosi seems oblivious as she sucks her peach mints as if nothing is happening.  A bong falls from her purse as they tip her over to carry her out and she starts repeating in a sing song voice two octaves higher than her normal voice,  "Impeached for life, Impeached for life".   Schummer starts waving at alien guards, only he can see, to protect them.  Shiff falls on the floor, his pants with a tell tale odor and stain of having wet himself and begins to suck his thumb.  It wont be pretty.  Then when they are all gone Trump starts a Hollywood quality  film depicting the evidence against them all.  By the time the film ends and he rises to his feet the remaining congressmen rise to their feet and give him 5 minute  standing ovations and stomp their feet in approval and gratitude that they too didnt get carried out. Slowing the hearing down so that the Senate is still hearing impeachment allows them to cancel the SOTU, if it goes past the 4th.  And then they can refuse to reschedule again and try to push it off till after the election.  Everything  for them is try to stay alive till after the election.  They believe they can rig it like they did for generations.  Smells like DESPERATION.  Hoping against hope.
