Impeachment should commence when there is sufficient evidence that it's proper to do so, and not before - the SCO is conducting an investigation into whether crimes were committed and about upholding the rule of law, not a witch hunt. The Democrats in Congress should be focusing on what's in their purview as a Constitutional responsibility - acting as a check and balance on the executive branch and conducting investigations into the WH.
I am glad and a bit surprised that you are back to the rule of law and waiting foir evidence rather that deciding A Priori that he is GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY.
As to his tax returns, no one really wants them or is entitled to them. It is just a talking point.
Remember Rachael?
BB, I have always been for the rule of law, and always will be; but, that doesn't mean that I don't think he's guilty. The already publicly available information is as plain as day as is his abhorrent behavior and constant lying, I can only imagine what has been intercepted on his unsecured phone calls, voicemails, emails, and messages much less what investigators have dug up on his financial records. I'm not Speaker of the House, so as an ordinary, joe schmoe, Jane Q Public, I can say that's my opinion and it doesn't matter one hill of beans.
I expect our elected representatives to operate by, and be held to, a higher standard. I think that because they haven't been for far too long that that is the root of our problems, along with the pervasive, dark money that has corrupted our political process.
No one wants his tax returns? Have you been Googling that to see what everyone else says? Just because he paid his tax returns doesn't mean that he didn't cheat on them, or didn't omit crucial information
that makes him culpable for crimes.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
I would think the weaponized IRS under Obama (see Henry Kerner, Lois Lerner) would have combed his tax returns for anything possible. I believe this is why BB says nobody cares about tax returns - nobody in congress cares because they either already have them or know whats in them. As to broadcasting your intentions and the rule of law, what about Nadler? He broadcast quite loud and clear that his investigations were in search of evidence for any possible crime, no evidence of a cited crime. Congressional fishing expeditions are unethical and, at worst, may be illegal. See the letter by Representative Collins here:

You also think that Abraham Lincoln threatened to invade states that didn't enforce tariffs.
A good question for the **** in the trump cult is why their idiot king not only broke with four decades of precedent by not releasing his tax returns, but also lied about his reason for not doing so.

So this is what passes for discourse here? Sheep, Trump Cult, Idiot king??? I've got better things to do than waste time trying to discuss adult topics with children.

Adult topics like the Washington Post's conspiracy to conceal Ruth Bader Ginsburg's death?
THIS is the reasoning for the timeframe I have indicated…...Q2/3 is the WINDOW OF OPPORTUNITY and I believe the pieces of the puzzle will pull together for it to become a reality.....MUELLER AND SDNY are acutely aware of timing. jmo

Wouldn't there also need to be some evidence with which to start an impeachment hearing? If they have evidence that our president is compromised and are holding onto it while he sits in office, doesn't that make them complicit traitors? The much more likely answer is that there is no evidence and this has all been a giant waste of time.

Well, that dramatic exit didn't last very long.
When one is taking down a criminal organization, one makes sure one has an air-tight case before taking action. All of us can see the circumstantial evidence in the form of constant lies and witness tampering, now we just need the law enforcement professionals to take it home.

bolded......when you take the MACRO mindset and review what is occurring...the case has
ALREADY assembled, NOW (march April) the case will be reviewed and a concrete effort to
release the TRUTH will be pursued. WHEN that occurs you (collectively) will see an impassioned impetus for impeachment....jmo
