What Next?

 The Senate impeachment trial went as expected-almost.Mitch McConnell instructed his caucus to vote to acquit on the grounds that the proceeding was unconstitutional and the majority of them did.BUT, then Mitch said in no uncertain terms that Trump was guilty of inciting a mob to attempt to overthrow the government and should pay for it The battle is on!My money is on Mitch who is clearly counting on Trump being mired in civil and criminal litigation and the resulting disclosures.Meanwhile as expected republican state legislatures are busy crafting voter restrictions.To paraphrase-"you stole the election by making it possible for your supporters to vote.we are not going to let that happen again ".My hunch for the week is that trump before leaving office issued secret pardons which will soon surface.
