I want to comment on two things. First, what kind of talking point is "there were impeachment cries from day 1, which was soooo ridiculous, hence no impeachment talk can ever be taken seriously again"? - This has to be among the intellectually worst arguments ever. On a sidenote, it's also factually doubtful. Who cried impeachment from day one? Maxine Waters? Someone on the streets? And what gives?
I can somewhat understand this whole thing about the impeachment discussions from day 1. Granted, you are correct that it was only the fringe making the cries at the time, it should be noted that there could have been abuses of power from day 1 that could've warranted at the very least oversight from Congress. The issue now is that things have become so egregious that it can't be ignored. Hell, the letter itself is evidence of obstruction and could result in articles of impeachment all on its own. But there are still those that will deny this.
