They didn't bring any trial lawyers to testify, because a trial lawyer would shred the case the Dems are trying to make. I don't like how the Dems managed things in the House. I'm not as freaked out as partisan Republicans, because impeachment IS political. If Dems can get articles of impeachment passed by holding partisan hearings in Democrat-controlled committees, presenting one side and controlling the proceedings, then they can do that. But a 2/3 majority in the Senate is a HUGE hurdle.
I think the big miscalculation is that by doing things this way, they could move the public-opinion needle far enough to create a hysterical rush to the cliffs of impeachment. They've been marvelously successful at stampeding us for many years. But I think they underestimated the longer-term public reaction to the unqualified successes enjoyed during the Iraqi Freedom campaign. Ratings were good, reporters were "embedded," and the whole country was behind our soldiers, so we stayed mostly mum on criticizing the decision. A few years later, we come to find out the whole thing was based on bad intel and hysteria. And the whole divide-and-conquer-identity-politics thing was also an unqualified success, with no one daring to question tenets of the New Faith. Marvelously successful. But there's been a quietly growing back-lash and red-pilling going on, virtually undetected, and certainly under-estimated.
The tactics that served so well for so long are turning out to be strategically unsound. They'd push our buttons and get the green light. Now they push our buttons and the RED light comes on. But they only know the one button to push. There's only so much you can do to subvert and abuse the process, before people get wise.
