Media DEMAND hearings. The Democrats start hearings and media criticizes the witness choice

If they launched impeachment tomorrow, this would still happen.

No matter WHAT the Democrats do, they're going to get second-guessed and hammered and told what they shoulda done and how they shoulda done it - mostly by people who don't have the legal or political experience to even know what they're talking about.

I'm glad they're staying on course and not allowing themselves to be buffeted by the keyboard quarterbacks and green room makeup chair experts.

Otherwise, MSNBC, CNN and others wouldn't be pressing for impeachment and hammering away at Trump every day.

I think it's more about trying to keep themselves "relevant" by being contrarian and stirring up arguments every day.
