Because no one is going to have time for hearings when they are campaigning to get reelected.

6 or 7 months out from the election is not the time to start impeachment hearings.

We could start now and obtain them faster as part of a formal impeachment.

Trump's lawyers could literally drag this out for years in appeals if we let it progress like this.
