Deadlines have a way of motivating Capitol Hill to get to work.
Democrats have been outspent in the impeachment fight, and are worried about being out-maneuvered. They still need to sort through their own conflicting instincts and political agendas before they can move on to the serious matter at hand.
In addition to the self-imposed pressure Democrats now face to work quickly on impeachment, there's also a fast-approaching deadline at the end of the month for Congress to pass a spending bill to avoid a government shutdown.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last week that she did not think Congress was headed for a shutdown.
Giuliani's travels to Ukraine aside, the Republican effort to portray as a circus what Democrats want to showcase as a sober responsibility has had some impact.
