    That’s the thing, an impeachment proceeding would at least create a government record of what evidence there is of what crimes and impeachable offenses there are, and the backup plan seems to be to hope they can win midterms

      Ideally, absolutely. Realistically I don’t think they care about a record of their crimes. They’re committing them in Broad daylight. And daring anyone to do anything about it. There will be plenty to record whether or not any impeachment is pushed. If it can mean action can be put somewhere to make a real difference I’m all for it. Yes I’d like to see all the crimes cataloged etc. But that is getting to be a Herculean task at this point. They commit them like breathing. Two things they shouldn’t do.

        They should just plan for a 1 and a half year impeachment proceeding, run a lot of their candidates on being antitrump and pro impeachment, and obstruct or boycott all remaining legislative processes possible until the Trump administration submits to a rule of law. If they play a long game of it, it can help them win midterms. By then, they could have the votes and have made the case.
