of investigations, subpoenas, document production (there's gotta be some serious dirt in the financial records), witness testimony and so forth for months, and don't call it an impeachment investigation. Do it like Watergate; the public hearings in 1973 were not impeachment hearings as such; they were held to investigate who was behind the break-in. Actual impeachment hearings in the HJC didn't take place until the following summer, and were not televised except for opening statements and the final vote.

The ongoing Watergate investigation soured everybody but the most hard-core GOPers on Nixon.
