      What happens if Dems lose a bunch of oversight battles, and then it's fall, and then Ds say it's "too late" to launch impeachment inquiry? I say inquiry maximizes legal leverage to win those battles. You disagree. But in your scenario, isn't there a risk that we never find out?

      This is a key point and one that turned me from an impeachment skeptic to supporting an impeachment inquiry.

          Impeachment inquiry or not, the House Dems can begin holding dramatic oversight hearings on numerous matters--including the Trump-Russia scandal--with witnesses who cannot be blocked by the WH. No need to get bogged down in those fights. Get started with Felix Sater!

          Yeah, I think we all agree House Dems have to go hard on investigation. Question is whether (as Greg argues, persuasively I think) impeachment makes investigations stronger or (as Josh contends) serve only to distract.

          Replying to @HeerJeet @ThePlumLineGS and

          Impeachment skeptics argue from two major assumptions: (1) Impeachment will help GOP 2020 chances, and (2) Absent impeachment, Dems are a slam dunk to take back POTUS. I think these are both specious with little to back them up

          We were warned the Kavanaugh sexual assault hearings and aftermath would mobilize conservative voters to take back congress. What happened is legions of pissed off Democratic voters took back the House; the senate map was never seriously in play
