But this situation is a bit more complicated. For example, what is your evidence that "the wrong thing" has been done? Before you can go after a sitting President with his/her party holding the Senate, your evidence has to be pretty much ironclad, unquestionable. There cannot be enough room for them to "O.J." their way out of it. It's not having a thousand allegations that matters. It is having the one that can be proven and will stick. So far, nothing thrown at Trump has reached that bar. I believe this is what Mueller has been trying to communicate. I believe that if he found such evidence, he would have made it known.

If you want Trump out (and I do), he is going to have to be voted out. Impeachment will only detract from that effort at this point.

What if we applied that to you (personal) and me?

What would have to our justice system if we only charged and had trials for suspects that we had "ironclad" cases against?

This situation is unique, but not complicated.  It is only considered complicated because we attach political motivation to everything.

Everything presented so far shows the POTUS wanted to obstruct justice but failed for various reasons.  That is still a crime (from my understanding).  So charging Trump after he leaves office is not a stretch.

The whole impeachment question is dead in my opinion.  The Democrats do not have the willpower to go through with it.  But that doesn't change the fact that we need to keep reminding people that he's awful.

You (personal) and I didn't hear anything new in the Mueller hearings, but we pay more attention.  Maybe people who weren't paying attention learned something new.
