Impeachment is a process, not a "thing" [View all]

Impeachment is in process, but it takes time and preparation. And the Democrats are following all of the steps of the process and are taking the time to get the process right.

The fact that they haven't launched a formal impeachment inquiry and aren't having impeachment hearings doesn't mean they aren't doing it correctly. In fact, there's nothing that would occur in the early stages of an impeachment inquiry prior to the drafting and vote on Articles that isn't taking place now.

The House Democrats are doing this in a way - the only way - that will have results that go beyond everyone feeling over the moon on the day the inquiry opens only to have that be the best day of the whole process and have everything go downhill from there.

So please don't fall for the "Democrats are doing nothing" myth. Nothing could be further from the truth. The Democrats are doing plenty
