If house Democrats don't start impeachment proceedings now,
1) Democrats will be seen as wimps by the voters;
2) Voter apathy will increase when voters see one party of criminals (Republicans) and the other party (Democrats) as being too weak to bring them to justice.
3) It will embolden Trump tremendously;
4) It will embolden the Russians even more.
