I would fall into the category. I'm in favor of impeachment IF done right and don't think it should be done now. The House needs to gather more evidence and help shape public opinion before proceeding down that road.

I don't really understand why people think investigations and hearings are foot-dragging or useless and that an impeachment inquiry must be opened now. Don't they realize that an impeachment inquiry IS hearings and investigations. But the various committees at this stage are in a much better position to do what would be too much for the Judiciary Committee to do right now.

I would much rather have Financial Services, Oversight, Ways and Means, Intelligence, and Judiciary (among others) all working on wide-ranging investigations and hearings to gather the evidence needed to hold this man accountable instead of having Judiciary launch a proceeding based primarily on the Mueller Report (which, so far, hasn't been enough to convince a majority of people that he must go) and then hope to gather additional evidence to bolster their case.

Let the committees do their jobs!
