IQ45's power via reducing his poll #s and it's working.
2ndly, rattling him will cause him to take more errors.
3rdly, the more his Administrative minions think is being exposed the more likely they are to cooperate with Mueller and the SDoNY's prosecutors.
4thly, the more dominoes seem to be falling, the more quickly McConnell is likely to let the vote comes the floor to reopen government. Our economy is hurting and I'm not referring to the DOW.

In addition, I'm happy with talk of impeachment moving forward sooner and am aghast at the destruction Trump and his administration have caused to our country. Bill Maher said it best: "MSNBC, Hardball - Bill Maher: If We Don't Impeach President Donald Trump, Where Is The Bar?"
The sooner the better.

There are probably many more but I'm in a hurry.
