The problem is the Constitution mandates a political judgement by the Congress [avoiding a judge or court deciding to remove
a President], and effectively requiring powerful support for such removal.
Manifesting the problem is the fact that there is no such powerful support at the present time to remove trump. [And I would not like to see the current support soft support levels used by right wingers as precedent to somehow remove a Dem President].
Yes, I understand the hope that a televised, formal impeachment trial would generate publicity, and weaken trump.
However, the risk of falling short and trump winning the political battle in the present Senate are too great at the present time.
Starting a formal impeachment trial would provide trumpsters with tremendous political cover for all the coming trump trials revelations [putin billions, many crimes, treason, elections frauds, budget government closures, more prison sentences, more trump mistakes and fiascos, etc. ], and failure in the Senate compound the problem with a Constitutional rationale and excuse favoring
trump.
There are solid reasons why the politically experienced hands, with real political savvy and expertise, support investigations now - impeachment when real political support manifests.
