Worrying that it's some sort of ruse by Trump, whose one talent is creating a big enough mess that it's difficult to investigate him. He's had decades of experience doing it.

Then there's the part of me that says Moscow Mitch is a big enough bastard that will gladly backstab Trump once it looks like the scales are tipping enough into, "Trump hurts republicans," territory. Especially if he can engineer something so he comes out relatively unscathed.

Difficult as it is, I'm going to trust that Nancy knows what she's doing (not a slight against Nancy. She's more than capable), and she and her team have the actual goods on Trump, and they've investigated this enough that the whistleblower is the real thing.

If anything, democrats are often too cautious because they consider the whole picture - Trump damaging the country, would impeachment hurt the country more, how will democrats be viewed, etc. - and make the hard choices. Republicans often jump at the chance of, "owning the libtards," and rush in blindly, not considering the consequences of their actions.
