US Impeachment process looks likely to go on for a little longer than expected.  Pelosi’s initial hope that things could be wrapped up by Christmas, so the Democrats could start the new year on a clean slate, focused on the Presidential primaries and campaign looks hopeful now.  Pelosi has always felt the impeachment process was always driven by the left wingers in the party and never had a credible chance of success.  By delaying the process, it prevents the House from pursuing more important business such as delivering on the campaign promises of the mid-terms.
