With Republicans recovering from the s in John Bolton’s book, it seems like impeachment will conclude this week with an acquittal of the president. Is that the end of the Ukraine scandal, or is there more news yet to break? Also, some halfhearted predictions about the results of Monday’s Iowa caucuses.

almost unlistenable – audio cutting off badly
(update: never mind. Issue was my phone. Rebooted and audio stuttering is fixed.)
I am no starry-eyed lover of Trump, but Noah Rothman has got to find a way to lose his complete inability to evaluate any issue except from an anti-Trump posture. His evaluation of what voters will do is entirely derived from his anti-Trump animus.
Same here. I have never heard in the last 40 years as much hortatorical, fact-starved nonsense as I have this Fall and Winter from Noah, Jim Geraghty, Jonah, David French, Adam White, et al. And most of it is based on lazy reporting and ignorance, which leads to bad context inferences for every move or statement out there.
I would be delighted to see Trump gone and replaced by Haley, Rubio, etc.- did not vote for him, and would prefer the chance to not vote for him again (but keeping Pompeo in place is vital to the world, the most important SoS since Acheson). But this is not about Trump any longer- it is about whether one party can break laws and norms and lie endlessly to achieve political goals, abetted by an enthusiastic media cohort that has surrendered any pretense of straight reporting.
