(1,977 posts)84. Let me ask you something...
Why would impeachment allow is to see the report unlike all the other avenues that are supposed to allow us to see the report? We are never going to see that report before controlling the house, and senate at a minimum and likely will need the presidency as well.
Lets say we bring impeachment and we say that we need it as evidence. And the republicans say no, just like they are now? Then what? They wont give it to is and they will claim that all along we were just using it to try and oust the president. And they will have a media complicit or at least willing to go along with their story.
