Daily, as I saw with the Nixon impeachment proceedings...
The public could easily see, in impeachment proceedings, that all the evidence, testimony, and the uncovered crimes are accounted for, and their faster pace in coming to light -- due to the very jurisdictional power inherent in impeachment proceedings -- in no way compromises the public's understanding of the case building that happens before their eyes.
The pace of impeachment proceedings -- instead of what it looks like we're headed for -- would be gratifying for both parties' voters to see, and would show the good governance that Democratic leadership wants to be known for.
I'm aware of CSPAN video archives. They would not turn off such proceedings the way they do CSPAN.
It's about time. Use of taxpayer dollars. Timely results. Voters will appreciate how impeachment proceedings will help them make more informed, less confused, better presidential voting decisions.
Polling during the impeachment proceedings process will bear this out.

He could pardon him, as Bush Sr pardoned those tied to Iran Contra to kill further investigation

Fine. We can just drag this out, then. But that's my issue. Get ON with impeachment proceedings

I'm no concern troll. I take a stance. I consider context and consequences of pace on the vote.

The wrestling match itself shows the public that Trump is desperately hiding something.
