Democrats are rushing into impeachment despite the knowledge that, given what we know now, the Senate will not remove Donald Trump from office.
Pelosi's bank shot isn't aimed at Trump's conviction on the Hill.
Impeachment alone would not doom Trump according to Lichtman's model.
Advocates of impeachment say the inquiry, whether an official "Proceeding" or not, might damage Trump's approval rating to such an extent that he will draw forth a significant primary challenger, a third-party candidacy, or both.
If impeachment comes to a vote in the House, Democrats representing Trump districts will be risking their political futures.
Pelosi has fixed impeachment on the July 25 phone call between Trump and Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky for three reasons.
Pelosi is moving quickly under the assumption that the longer the process takes, the more opportunities Trump will have to wriggle out of this vise, and the more Democrats will become distracted and dissolute.
