Suspending an impeachment indefinitely would create a mess

Among other things, it would be an admission that the impeachment was premature and not based on solid ground - an impeachment should not require this kind of investigation in order to get to a vote.

And we know that no matter what, the Senate was not going to vote to disqualify him. So holding off on the vote is just a waste of time.

The Senate can create a Select Committee to investigate. But suspending the trial indefinitely in order to conduct such an investigation is not the way to go.

But frankly, I'm exhausted discussing this so I'll just agree that we disagree and wish you a good night.
