I don't suppose there's anything stopping the Senate from forming a committee, grabbing the ball, and running with it.
The 50/50 split makes it harder. While Democrats chair every committee, the members are evenly split. If we get a 51/49 split, then Democrats can have a majority on most committees.

Waiting to be underwhelmed here somehow.
Well, the Trump Organization is the heart of Trump's business network and this is just the beginning of an avalanche of guilty verdicts that will bury Trump and his family.

I like your optimism. I'll file it with the Panama Papers and the Downing Street Memo.

Trial proceedings can take years, and there will be several of them so it'll be hard for the Republicans to "Move on". The constant drumbeat will NOT work in the Republicans favor and there are still two years of the Dems holding both the presidency and one house of congress. Two years of this will devastate the G.O.P. This means they will need to make some kind of high-handed questionably constitutional moves to stop or smother the proceedings, hoping to "run out the clock" until the next general election.

They will have to, because Trump will pull them down along with himself if he goes down. They know how petty and mean spirited he is.

My personal opinion is they will try to reframe the trials and hearings to create the perception that it is "time to move on", "no one is really interested in them anymore", "we have more important things to focus on". They will paper the dems as beating a dead horse and as obstructionists blocking important legislation from passing - such as farm bills, military spending bills, & budget resolutions. They will hijack and stonewall everything possible that meets the criteria of being important but of no interest to the general public to blackmail the dems into stopping the persecution prosecution of Trump.

So with the runoff in Georgia complete this is the first year since direct election of Senators started in 1914 that no incumbent Senator has lost their seat and the first time since the Roosevelt administration that the President's party has not lost a single Senate seat in an off year election. The only reason Republicans took a slim House majority is gerrymandering.

Why is that fat, orange, bloody butt-zit on the asscheek of America still walking around free???
It's been touched on before, the way justice departmetns go after organized crime is grabbing the little guys and squeezing them. And work up the ladder. It takes years. You don't want a justice system that operates orders of magnitude faster.
