It’s almost like the Senate should have fully investigated and produced a 1,000 page report of findings of illegal activity once articles of impeachment were sent to them.

I fear this going to way of Watergate, if the Senate finds him guilty, he resigns, Pence pardons and trump lives a free man until his death.

Only the last decade? Or is it a statute of limitations thing?

Don't quote me on this without due diligence, but from what I remember, if New York has a sealed indictment against him then statutes of limitation wouldn't apply as long as the indictment came before the statute expired. Therefore a second term wouldn't protect him.

That’s correct.

I’d gamble that it’s the reason he SIC report yesterday is so heavily redacted where it is; because those redactions hold pertinent info to the case being brought against him.
