(4,612 posts)44. Haven't come to a decision yet, but I tend to lean toward this reasoning.
The stupid DoJ policy has left us with nothing except impeachment with which to defend our democracy. We have to do something to show ourselves, our country, the world, that the integrity of our democracy matters. I'm not sure that we even have a whole lot of choice in this. And, yes, having the truth on our side makes a huge difference.
I don't expect we'll be successful in removing him from office. But I do expect that the process itself, the process of finding the truth and exposing it, will go a long way toward re-affirming our democratic values and the idea of truth itself.
