-recent polls show that Republican support for Trump and against impeachment has not wavered one bit, so this will die in the Senate in any event;

-Trump's job approval rating has not budged one bit in the past month, so no political hit at all from the "impeachment inquiry".

For Republicans in their wagon fort, the old quote form foreign politics applies which usually gets credited to Roosevelt, I think:
"Yes, he is a son of a bitch - but he is our son of a bitch."

When a justice system and when law and order degenerate to this low standard, then may the gods in heaven have mercy with man.
