I can get behind that.

But, doesn't the transcript show that the whistleblower wasn't truthful though?

I can agree with that. That's why he should have been the first witness called in this sham process and Republicans should have been able to question him.

At least three Democrats have signaled so far that they don't plan on voting for whatever it is they are voting on tomorrow.

Are they in contested districts?

All districts Trump won by a hefty margin. This could be a sign that this won't pass tomorrow without some Republican support because there are a lot of Democrats who won in Republican dominated districts or toss up districts.

Or it could be Pelosi chose some people and ordered them to vote for this thing, even if it meant costing them their seats, and she's allowing the others to not vote for it to help them keep their seats.

Or maybe she is hoping the never Trumpers in the Republican party will help her shore up the votes she needs.

Either way tomorrow should be interesting. There is even some talk they might not even hold the vote tomorrow.

It's possible he's out of prison now. He probably wasn't dead though.
