2. There really is no choice.

Trump has done everything but beg to be impeached, and I'm not 100% certain that it's not in fact what he's angling for so he can play the victim.

In fact, I've said since he took office that he's been trying to get impeached but the people who could do something about it didn't care. Before January, that was all in the purview of the Republicans. If not for the midterms (and Nancy), we're not here.
