Are the Democrats that unconvinced by their own candidates? Elections are coming up soon, instead of propping up their own candidates, highlighting some potential platforms, they keep putting all the attention on Trump. It makes them look extremely petty and frankly and makes it look like they have no plan to move forward.

So we shouldn't investigate probable crimes? Why investigate any president when they'll just be out of office after 8 years max (assuming no VP ascension)?

Wasn't that what the Mueller investigation was about?

If the Dems were confident in their position, they'd beat him at the polls and if there really was a crime, he'd be prosecuted afterwards. This attempt at impeachment will fail, it's just for show.

This is about a different crime more recent than that.

Mueller concluded that he was forbidden from finishing that investigation and that a different means like impeachment would have to continue it.

And today’s announcement is due to misconduct that happened after the Mueller report was released (literally the day after).
