Investigate until they cry "Uncle!"

Uncovering the facts and educating the American people is more important than impeaching at this point, in my opinion.

There is no shortage of stuff to investigate. It is unfortunate that so many Americans are uneducated.

There will be more scandals to come. If Trump cannot get Ukraine to get dirt on his opponents, he will find someone else. He will not change any of his criminal habits.

If the Democrats get 218 votes for official impeachment inquiry, they have the threat of impeachment over Trump's head at all time. This gives them the balance of power they have been missing up to this point.

The Democrats should investigate everything, whether or not they put any of it in Articles of Impeachment. They need to show the American people exactly what they voted for. They should not feel constrained by any time limits. Investigate! Investigate! Investigate!

with their business. I seriously doubt that it will change many peoples mind and he will not be removed from office by the Rethugs anyway. He is a scumbag, most everyone knows it, and this will turn into just another reality TV show. I think our nation has peaked and we are twirling around in the toilet before the final flush. I hope I'm wrong but I've seen it all of my life so why would I expect it to change?

Why not keep investigating and uncovering facts on Trump and the Republicans? Embarrass them down to the last Republican. I would support impeachment at any time Democrats choose, but I think it could be a political bonanza if they play this invedtigation process right.

voters will be so fatigued that it will hurt voter turnout. I do not think it will affect Trump's base at all. Personally I find "independent" voters bizarre. With the clear differences between parties how can you not pick a side?
