Conyers had wandered off before returning to the microphones to offer something about Watergate. Still, no one doubts that Conyers will say his piece once impeachment hearings begin. That prospect hardly cheers the President's supporters. But given the determined way Republicans are running the committee, even the most dynamic Democrat wouldn't be able to stop the impeachment onslaught.
