37. "... a failed impeachment..."
An impeachment could hardly be a failure at this juncture. The very definition of impeachment is holding public hearings to determine if there is enough evidence for a trial in the Senate.

If impeachment hearings were held, there is a mountain of material in the public record already which, if opened up to scrutiny, would serve to educate the masses about what has been happening in the country -- those who don't read all about it every day as we do. And what if the whole thing "failed," because the Senata wouldn't take it up, or did take it up and failed to convict. The facts are in the public record. The People will see it. It could swing a lot of voters to the Democrats. The world would see that there is still a shred of integrity in the U.S. of A. It could serve as a tipping point to take the country back.

The waiting game is an immoral game because we *know* that impeachable offenses have been committed. While we wait and dither over political strategy, more and more people die. Ivory tower number crunching is beneath the dignity of the United States of America, as we've known and loved it for lo, these many years!
