18. somebody tell the critics that our Democrats ARE working hard
Our party isn't 'playing safe', that's just a lie being pushed by folks who haven't yet gotten their way on impeachment.

But I want to know why an impeachment which many proponents say would be just fine WITHOUT A CONVICTION, is so superior to the other efforts our Democrats are making to hold the administration accountable; many of which may well lead to some outside prosecution which could galvanize the majority of the institution behind the extreme remedy?

Every step they take short of impeachment is automatically dismissed BY FOLKS WHO STILL CLAIM THEY WANT TO HOLD THE ADMINISTRATION ACCOUNTABLE.

But, you WON"T get to ANY conviction, ANY prosecution, or ANY impeachment without the benefit of investigations like the ones already underway.

And, I would note that these investigations by our Democrats in this Congress are taking place BEFORE any prosecution or convictions like the Watergate committee had at their disposal BEFORE they eventually convened. They're AHEAD of the curve, and still taking flack.

Mindless for folks who claim to be so concerned with holding the administration accountable to keep harping on them and unilaterally portraying their every effort ineffectual, while refusing to highlight ANY of their efforts already underway.
