and the public isn't aware of all that Trump has done. No telling what he's done that we don't know about.

There's one shot at it. Need to have all the evidence reviewed, analyzed, categorized...ducks in a row. Then you move. If you're too rash, you could lose the impeachment votes, or public support.

They've been working on this since February. They experienced. They know what they're doing, I'm sure.

There's also an option to file a secret indictment for Trump once he leaves office.

There are more charges than just obstruction to look at.

They've ordered docs from 81 people/organizations, subpoenaed the full report, officially requested his tax returns, had a hearing with Michael Cohen, Mueller is scheduled to appear in May, Barr is scheduled to appear (again) in May....

They've been working on this for some time. There's no big rush to move before they are sure they have as close to a slam-dunk as possible. Including public support.

and starting the proceedings doesn't mean they have to follow through but it does give the House enormous investigative power to investigate. Trump's records and taxes etc would have to be released plus it reigns in the presidents power to pardon while throwing a wrench into his destructive agenda. DA's don't wait till they have all the information, they go after the info and that is what impeachment is for. Pelosi has a history of failing to do her duty and hold repub presidents accountable by her refusal to impeach Bush. Trump is a pathological liar who has corrupted every thing he encounters. The longer Pelosi waits the more insulated Trump will become through illegal means like Barr putting family members in positions to protect Trump. Watch the video "What happens if we fail to impeach" at DU right now. I think you'll be convinced.
