There's only one article of impeachment. The trial won't take that long.

Trump appointed judges told Trump's legal team they didn't have evidence. Scotus didn't take up Trump's challenge.
I didn't see that crowd as very powerful. The police just wasn't prepared. The people who stormed in are being arrested and prosecuted.
A trial without a conviction won't really mean anything to Trump or his base.
Again, to me it's a waste of time. But, I respect your opinion.
