I'm wondering if Trump is forcing them to do the impeachment to give him a stage to present his case to The American People. I think this because one of the charges is false statements during the speech that incited the violence. Those charges must be defended and the only way to do that is to prove the statements were in fact true. Oh man, this is going to be one hell of a show!!!
Here's the charge:
President Trump repeatedly issued false statements asserting that the Presidential election results were the product of widespread fraud and should not be accepted by the American people or certified by State or Federal officials.
The only drawback I can see is that Fake News will cut Team Trump off as soon as any REAL evidence is presented. That’s my biggest worry.
I’m sure he knows ?
Enh. I want to see quick trials, fast execution.

Ack. Meant to sticky this but removed it.
The Senate under Leahy could try to do a quick vote if it might backfire as suggested and end it without embarrassment.
