If there is one thing you can count on in this world, it's Democrats overplaying their hand, convincing themselves they've already won, and then losing and getting humiliated...and then somehow, seemingly with no self awareness at all, still declare victory.
This will go EXACTLY like the election results. Dems prematurely celebrate victory. They lose, but convince themselves they still won, because the rules of the game were not in their favor. Just wait, Trump will be cleared, and the day after, they will start bitching about how the campaign rules need to adjusted, and if they were different Trump would've been impeached.. I guaran-fucking-tee it.
I've never believed they had anything directly linking trump to any kind of Russian election meddling, and ultimately his exposure is going to be in whatever part he played in covering up activity by his staffers. But, he doesn't need to be impeached for this to hurt him. To be valuable politically just needs to be an issue that bubbles to the surface every few months and makes him look bad, sort of like the Gowdy investigation into Clinton. The best case outcome for the witch hunt crew is that it hurts his chances at reelection in 3 years.
It's good politics, there was legitimately questionable legal/ethical behavior by some key staffers, so you can capture scalps whenever necessary to keep the thing from looking like a waste of time, and it's grown broad enough that by the next important election, it doesn't even need to be about Russia.
