    The running impeachment show now extends beyond Trump's term of office. Russ Betts says four years was not enough on the impeachment front so the Senate takes it up again even though Trump is weeks out of office. It still requires a 2/3 vote to convict on the articles of impeachment the House handed to the Senate. No chance of getting that as 45 Senators have already said they will not vote to convict. Meanwhile, no word from the House or Senate when much needed relief will be coming for small businesses and families struggling financially under the Covid pandemic. And why should Congress be concerned about that...they have IMPEACHMENT!!! To continue to talk about.
