1. A vote will be held, as soon as a few days from now, on beginning an impeachment inquiry. The vote will pass in favor of it. (It probably would have failed before Trump's idiot Ukrainian espionage blunder.)
2. All of the stuff that Trump's been holding out will be subject to more subpoenas. Unlike before, Trump won't be able to simply ignore them. Staffers will be jailed for contempt until they sing. There is the possibility of Trump himself being held in contempt of Congress. (Imagine Trump being led from the White House in handcuffs.)
3. The articles of impeachment will be drawn up and voted on. The vote will probably be split along party lines; however, Republican Congressmen who are vulnerable for re-election in 2020 may defect. In either case, the House will vote to impeach.
4. Criminal charges against Trump will almost certainly be filed as well.
5. The impeachment articles will be presented to the Senate.
6. The vote there will be split along party lines--but everyone will note the votes of the vulnerable Republican senators.
7. The Senate will refuse to impeach Trump.
8. The Republican senators who voted against impeachment and are up for re-election in 2020 will just have handed their opponents a huge stick with which to beat them. The Senate races will be a rout, and the Democrats--and democracy itself--will resume control of the Senate.
9. Joe Biden, greatly strengthened by Trump's espionage attacks against him, will slaughter Trump in the 2020 election.
10. The Republican party will be outlawed. (Probably not, just kidding, but it will be marginalized as the dank, musty haven of racists, white supremacists, fascists, nativists, and other associated wingnuts.)
Let's hear them Trumper bleats! I know they will be bleats of pain.
