Republicans will be stopped in their tracks, their devious plan and their deadly trap will be destroyed, and they will be devastated. It will all be over for them. Their raving and ranting during any subsequent House hearings will fall on deaf ears.
This will serve as a different kind of impeachment trial, Democrats will be the prosecutors and the people will be the judge and jury. In this kind of trial, the only defense the Republicans will have is to use Fox News and other right-wing news outlets to repeat all the useless things they have said and done to block the impeachment process.
The people's jury will have plenty of time to deliberate and Democrats may well see the courts order Don McGahn, Mick Mulvaney, John Bolton, and others to testify. That's when we might see a bombshell explode over Washington DC.
If Trump somehow escapes removal by impeachment the people's jury will cast their votes in the 2020 elections and they will, without question, find him guilty as charged. The sentence handed down by the people will send him out of office for good. Then, America's democracy will be preserved and the threat of an authoritarian government ruling this country will come to an end.
