WASHINGTON – The second season of impeachment ended a day earlier, but Republicans were already talking about the next season. It looked inauspicious.

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina quoted Fox News as saying, “I don’t know how Kamala Harris doesn’t impeach if Republicans handle the House.”
