Bishop takes pawn, red king wanders, Bishop takes knight, red king wanders, Queen to check...

Whether it will be checkmate will depend on televised testimony and the American audience.

Bishops aren’t able to checkmate unless the king is truly cornered, trapped by his own people, or alone.

Sometimes a check by a Bishop is just a meaningless waste of time and a resource.

The Queen sure benefits when the Bishop clears a path, however, by knocking off a couple pawns.
