I'm announcing that the House must immediately open an impeachment inquiry.

1. Can't we please have some investigations first?

We have to educate a lot of people in this country before we can hope to remove him from office. Impeachment without conviction accomplishes nothing.

2. That's what the inquiry is for

3. True, but

If we're not going for one thing...Impeachment...we can have multiple inquiries. I don't disagree that removal from office is imperative. I just think calling for impeachment right from the get-go is putting the cart before the horse.

5. I disagree and this incredible essay spells out exactly why.

It's a long article, but well worth the time to read.

It expertly lays out the case for why the impeachment process should begin now. Impeachment isn't strictly about a conviction. It can accomplish quite a lot at any stage.

4. it's the same thing - start investigations

hopefully, all public hearings, no more closed doors; flood airwaves with overwhelming evidence and then start formal impeachement proceedings. I thinkg we need to drag this shit show all the way to 2020 so trump can continue destroying himself and the entire gop. We can’t let pence to be the president at any time. We need to be strategic and thing long term. We need to take down gop, not temporarily but permanently. It may be the best chance we’ll ever get.

6. I think that this is a good idea...start a massive investigation, call it the 'impeachment' ...

committee, and simply flood the airwaves w/ all sorts of repressed (in the past) testimony on a daily basis, that details each traitorous act by rump and/or his cronies and family.

This would rightfully capture the airwaves from rump and finally turn the conversations in this country to governing in a smart manner, while getting rid of this gutter mouth so called president.

7. Bingo

You said exactly what I should have said.

And going after Trump while leaving the rest of the system that allowed him to harm this country won't solve the root problem.
