• "Abuses of power through self-dealing."
• "Betrayal of national security in the service of foreign interests."
• "Corruption of our elections that undermine our democratic system."

What to expect: You'll hear opposing arguments from the Democratic and Republican counsels to the Judiciary Committee and the Intelligence Committee, followed by rounds of questioning from Judiciary Committee members.

Between the lines: Our reporting indicates that the Democrat-led hearings so far have not only failed to move Republicans toward impeachment. They have also had the effect of hardening and consolidating Republican support — in both the House and Senate — behind the president.

• Nobody we've spoken to, from either party, thinks there's even a remote chance Trump gets convicted in a Senate trial.
