Senators sitting in the room are going to be pulling out their collective hair the final hours of testimony as they watch the same story lines repeated, woven in to familiar narrative tracks with redundant videos. Though the evidence may be framed differently to fit the context, the core information is now out there, more than once.
I suspect that the House Managers realize they have reached critical mass when it comes to delivering the evidence to any persuadable Senate members. If they don’t get it now, that the President of the United States did some really, really bad things, they aren’t going to get there tomorrow.
I suspect their goal now is to reach as many Americans as possible over the next 12 hours. People have busy schedules and most can’t watch all the presentations obviously. Just as HBO will play a series or movie over days to give a broader audience a chance to catch its run, these managers are now running the key evidence through the peak hours in effort to reach a maximum audience in each television market.
Before this week, most Americans didn’t know about the depth and breadth of the corruption perpetrated by Trump or the national security threat it posed. The nefarious nature of the scheme. This trial has greatly increased.the opportunity for many more to understand. Public pressure should be building to produce documents and testimony. The longer this goes many more people will see it. Republicans better hope that Trump’s legal team can bail them out this weekend.
