And I'm sure Trump would exploit that angle to the fullest.

But when it is so obvious, so much evidence, it would be counterproductive to NOT fire and charge him immediately. Don't waffle. Make it about the law. Highlight how this was a pure partisan trick.

I think the Dems would gain more respect than they would lose by acting swiftly and objectively.
