My hesitation to support impeachment is based on the frivolous calls for impeachment they come from both sides of the aisle whenever the other side is in power. The calls seem rooted a naive today about how traumatic and complicated and distracting an impeachment can be to the national life.

The latest revelations from Bob Mueller definitely build a stronger case, but the facts are not all in yet. It's premature. I say let Mueller build his smoking gun case further.
