If what has happened according to the Mueller report does not rise to the level of Impeachment then what does and what oversight on the executive is left.
We must move forward, and not duck from impeachment, unless the evidence shows there was no obstruction (ha ha). It is necessary to establish a robust separation of powers and that the rule of law matters greatly. That is what is at stake. If the evidence ends up not being substantial enough for removal from office, so be it. If the individual members of Congress make a bad judgement based on politics rather than facts then it is up to the voters to determine their fate. Many would survive, I'm sure. The power is in the hands of the people.
A televised proceeding, including on Fox, would show who the liars really are and only in this manner can we have an informed public. Armed with that the public can decide. Some would still decide wrongly but that happens in a Democratic Republic. We badly need a cleansing and get back to operating within the parameters of the law. If we don't do this I don't see a way forward - not with the level of distrust that is in the air.
