I don't think that's the way she was thinking, and I sure hope it wasn't. She has more options if she keeps the inquiry open, gathering evidence.

But here is the real question. On FB I have plenty of friends who are lawyers who actually try cases, I asked them a question but got no answer. Here I have friends who are lawyers who’ve never tried a case, but they do read political blogs, so maybe one of you will know?

Are there specific rules for the trial or does the Senate just have control? Rules of evidence? Who decides what to exclude? Is there a specific timeline, or can the Sebate park it for years? Depending on answers to those questions, this could be a big nothing burger that will blow up ugly.

I've tried cases, so I'm not sure you want my answer, but see Rule VII here.
