This is how this impeachment inquiry ends, November 19, 2019

Democrats in Congress don’t seem to realize that the impeachment hearings are already over. The sides have been divvied up, the votes have been tallied and President Donald Trump will remain in office through the end of his term, at least.

I don’t mean to spoil the ending, but I would speculate that most Americans, in their hearts of hearts, know how this movie is going to end. It has been obvious since the opening credits.

The bottom line is that Trump did it — he’s guilty. He leveraged U.S. security dollars earmarked by Congress for Ukraine to squeeze its new government into opening a damaging investigation into political rival and former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. Once word of the ploy leaked out in a Politico story, the money was released prophylactically.

The Bidens are guilty, too, of course. Hunter Biden had no business being appointed to the Burisma board, and he knew it. So, surely, did his dad. Hunter’s reported $50,000-a-month contract with the sullied Ukranian oil giant was a clear and untoward gesture of goodwill to the then-vice president, who took the lead on all things Ukraine during the Obama administration. What Hunter did wasn’t illegal — the most lucrative corruption in government typically isn’t — but it was wrong. Americans get that, too. This was a situation  in which a father should have told his son, “Knock it off.” He did not.
