... this is without any witness's.

The goal is to get exposure to Red Don's horribleness so he's not able to cheat as much as he did in 16

.... Not the beginning of the information where it was highest.

fivethirtyeight polling looks like we are going back up to the highest point of impeachment and removal not falling

a "trial" at all, just an UNFAIR trial.

No, that's not even a damned trial. Stop calling it a trial. The proper demand of MM is that a TRIAL is held.

... according to 538 we're nearly back to where we were in the beginning regarding information about Ukraine

Also holding will make Mitch McConnell outline what the impeachment trial will look like versus just sending it over to him and he rubber stamps an sham trial.

If McConnell renigs then at least it'll be more public now

As far as I'm concerned, his impeachment by the House is adequate. His aberrant, Russia-enabled sham of a presidency has been thoroughly delegitimized. He'll be voted out this November and his short but lamentable time as president will be forever tainted. Nothing else matters at this point. We just have to be patient.

Withholding just makes impeachment look like political posturing and not an attempt to prosecute a crime.

I don't care what Trump's minions, lapdogs, apologists and sycophants think. He has been impeached and exposed for the criminal he really is.
