Impeachment hearings are underway on Capitol Hill as the U.S. House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence works to decide if there will be an impeachment trial for President Donald Trump. The Daily Nebraskan asked students if they have been paying attention to the hearings and if they think impeachment is likely.

I havent been really paying attention. Ive wanted to, but theres a lot of other stuff going on right now, and its really busy. I personally hope that there is something involved with at least the process of going through and seeing what actually has happened and what hasnt because theres been a lot of misinformation on both sides. Just figuring out the real truth would be good.

I have been paying attention, and I believe that impeachment is very unlikely. Just all the information [President Trump] has been hiding is probably the most shocking thing, but in my personal opinion, we kind of all already knew [he was hiding information]. Its very close to the 2020 election and thats why I think impeachment is pushing to the unlikely side. But theres still hope.

I havent been paying attention. For me, I am not really sure about politics in America because I dont really care about that because Im a Chinese student. Maybe [impeachment] is possible.

I have not been paying attention to the impeachment hearings. I just dont really pay attention to politics and dont really follow anyone on social media that talks about politics. I dont know much about it and also just dont really know if [impeachment] is possible or not. I feel like they probably wont impeach since the election is already coming up next year.

Ive seen clips here and there, but I havent been really paying attention. [Impeachment] is probably not going to happen. Its been going on for a while, and I feel like theyre dragging it on. By that time, hes probably going to be out of the office.
