it's about the process. For me, it's confusing. One side says find out all the information, and see what's there. The other side says, the impeachment process will do all of that. I don't know about the process of articles of impeachment. Do you have to have those set out from the get-go, or can you make it up as you go along finding more crimes. Then there's the whole part of the crimes, and how that works. After going through the impeachment process, and having the Senate produce the expected results, can the President still be charged with crimes?
