We have the absolute right to hold him accountable. It will be interpreted as a sign of weakness if we don't.

However, hold open hearings during the summer and hopefully galvanize people's attention and then move to impeachment hearings in late summer or early fall once all the evidence is out in the open.

I would gather most people in the US haven't read the Mueller Report and are just going by what they hear in whatever is their chosen media. Open hearings would bring it alive and allow for follow up, particularly those that are already in the report and have at least one version of their testimony locked in.

If the Ds don't impeach or at least investigate the hell out of this, they will not be seen to be strong. Remember that even in the Spring 1974, a minority of Americans wanted Nixon impeached. It was the House Judiciary Hearings that summer that changed things.

Idea (c) 1973 by the Sam Ervin's Senate Select Committee on Presidential Elections (ie, the Senate Watergate Committee) and 1974 House Judiciary Committee.

They're going to spin it any way it goes so might as well start impeachment proceedings before it's too late.

If we try to impeach, he'll say "The Losers are obsessed with Donald! They've been on a Witch Hunt for years! If I were guilty of anything, their hit dog Mueller would have indicted me!"

If we don't impeach, he'll say what you said he'll say.

That's politics.

Pelosi needs to make sure the impeachment votes are there before they try to do it.
