They want people to get in an uproar about it so they can say they did something good for the country.

Most of the people doing this seem to be against impeachment if you look at their post history.

to thier regularly scheduled program and forget about I for a few weeks. Rinse and repeat until Trump loses in 2020 and refuses to transition the office or just steals the election outright.

WaPo Aug. 8, 2019 --- In fact, Democrats may have already begun an impeachment inquiry without most people noticing and without the fanfare (and potential political backlash) of a big announcement that it’s happening. In a court filing in late July to get the full, unredacted Mueller report, the Judiciary Committee argued that it needed the information because it “is conducting an investigation to determine whether to recommend articles of impeachment.” Since then, Democrats’ language has only become stronger in court filings, culminating with Nadler’s statement that impeachment proceedings have begun.

And we simply chose to believe that -- rather than to listen to more whinging and crying here on DU.

first they're "not doing anything". then (with evidence presented that maybe they ARE), "they're not moving fast enough!" Long and short .. they're not doing it YOUR way .. and, once again, the threat rolls out that they won't get the (your?) votes. Whinging, whining, crying .. something along those lines.

Are you implying/threatening that you will not vote for them? How does that make sense?

The House reconvenes next Monday, Sept 9. If you want impeachment, call your rep. If your rep already supports impeachment, call them to thank them. Also call your senators & ask them to speak out in support of impeaching Trump. And don't forget Madame Speaker. They all have telephone numbers & websites with contact forms.

What's the actual end game?

I'm not sure what, if anything, it will do to make things better. Someone please help me understand what we will actually gain from it.

I know it's a process but what is the final outcome? Will anything actually change?

I am feeling frustrated and confounded. I just want to know, how it is going to actually help us?
