This reverse kangaroo court where acquittal was foreordained was never going to be an effective forum for the truth about everything that happened. Raskin and the other House managers did a great job with the hand they were dealt, but there was no way in Hell that enough GOPers would vote for conviction for it to happen. There has to be an independent counsel investigation and/or something like the 9/11 commission that can turn over all the rocks without the GOP getting in the way. And I hope it happens soon.
