It is becoming clear to me that the following sequence of events will happen in an end-game to impeach the Bush Administration:
1. Conyers and other Democratic representation will hold a hearing on the Downing Street Minutes and other leaked secret communications. While compelling evidence will be presented and even some Republican represenation may be persuaded, there will not be enough representation to form an investigation. Furthermore, this event will get little press coverage, especially in the MSM and so most Americans won't even know it happened.
2. The Bush Administration will dismiss the event and any calls for inquiry.
3. Democratic representation will pull a Congressional power play, fillibustering and locking up as much legislature as possible until they get agreement on a Congressional investigation.
4. The hearings will be as partisan as you can imagine, with the Republicans drumming up every cheerleader witness they can in the face of blunt evidence presented by the Democrats. The hearings will head toward the result of inconclusive reasons for further investigation.
5. Seeing that the hearings will die unless someone directly testifies to the actual events, the British Attorney General Lord Goldsmith, will resign and reveal himself as the leaker of the documents and will give direct testimony to the conspiracy of the British and American administrations pushing an illegal war on the citizens of each country.
6. The hearings take a turn and the republican representation becomes fragmented. A battle on the congressional floor ensues between republicans.
7. The Administration, seeing the writing on the wall, turns in resignations of most of the cabinet. Congress begins the process of selecting the next President.
8. Criminal investigations proceed despite resignations. The newly selected President sees no need to pardon anyone in the prior administration. 2 years later, most of the administration is serving time in federal prison. America's dignity is restored.
(Edit: added the epilogue below) 9. In 2006-2008, Americans backlash against the republican agenda and a sweeping victory of Democratic candidates in the House and the Senate. A Democratic President is elected in 2008. The republican party dissolves into dissaray and anarchy. Several fractured conservative parties rise, but none of them can obtain the momentum required to challenge the Democratic party, the party for the people, by the people. The Democratic Party holds the majority for decades to come.
