It might make some of us feel better (until the Senate fails to convict) but it's a colossal waste of time and could very well backfire on us. This is assuming Mueller hasn't presented damning conclusions in his report.

Get these buffoons under oath and let them perjure and disgrace themselves.

There should be separate strands of investigations for (a) corruption and (b) Russia.

A lot of young people, for instance, would like to stop being shot at and they'd like to be able to afford college. A lot of women would like not to be sexually harassed. A lot of black people would like to be able to walk or drive without a cop shooting them. I think a lot of all that is going to come ahead of impeachment for them.

Offer her the committee chairmanship of her choice.
Maybe find another willing to vote for impeachment, too...

* Find out who would be Speaker of the House, Majority Leader, Whip. Assign committee chairs.

* Rename committees to reflect positions like Republicans did.

* Establish contacts with rest of the world, make it clear some degree of sanity is back.
