Do any of you think Schiff would be calling for this if he thought it would help Trump in any way?
This will help Trump win the nomination and lose the general - that is what it is designed for.
No one else will get air while Trump is being televised 24/7 and it will remain Biden vs Trump.
This way Biden can also hope to escape the full measure of scrutiny due for the utter joke that his corruption poses. While GOP huddles in congress impeaching Biden, the world will be watching the Trump trial while breathless news anchors cover every meaningless minutia.
There is no winning of it. The trial will be enough to taint Trump a bit further with the few squishy independents who havent yet made up their mind.
But the sad truth of it is, you have to televise it. It is an unprecedented attack on the office of the Presidency.
