4. I think there are several things going on...
but it is only with very honorable honest members of Congress, like Sanders that it becomes so enigmatic. His stance may simply mean that the totality of all that is wrong with this country and that needs to be immediately addressed has made him a pragmatist--convinced him that we just don't have the luxury to take time for what will likely not succeed. (I don't agree, just playing devils advocate).


What scares me more is the possibility that he thinks it is too risky to proceed-- that possibly he and others like him know something, something so horrendous to fathom that they can not risk it happening. Say for instance they have the belief (or perhaps been given notice) that retribution of the most devastating manner will result if they move to impeach (e.g., a nuclear attack on Iran or Russia, or?) or perhaps another attack on the US that we might (once again) be slow to respond?
