Wondering

     Supposedly, it could be a dire consequence for the President if  some of the insiders, who are privy to the truth, must testify as witnesses  at The Trial in the Senate. Mulvaney, Pompeo, Bolton, Guilaneli, et al would be under oath, forced to tell the truth. But they've all lied in the past, albeit not under oath, so what would keep them from lying at the trial. Pardons could be forthcoming, and Mitch would, as he promised, coordinate with the White House for  happy ending. So the truth will set us free, but so also guilt will set us more free.
