6. Democrats must act!

The Democrats in the House must begin the impeachment process now!
It would be an act of moral cowardice and dereliction of duty to do otherwise.
It would also be a repudiation of the rule of law.
Mueller made it plain. The DOJ can't act, but the Congress can, and should.
Also, failure to initiate the impeachment process would do more to elect Trump than anything else anyone could do.
It would legitimize Trump's lawlessness.
Do we want 4 more years of a lawless president?
