NEW:
@RepRaskin, a member of the Judiciary Committee, says the moment is now.
"Overwhelming evidence has been presented to us of high crimes and misdemeanors, and we should launch an impeachment inquiry," Raskin tells me.
Our full interview is here:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/05/21/top-democrat-warns-if-we-dont-confront-trump-hell-grow-more-lawless/?utm_term=.a30d8cff988c …
Also in our interview, I asked @RepRaskin about the dangers of *not* acting, and the idea of treating our elections as the last line of defense against Trump's corruption and lawlessness.
His answers are compelling:

Great article and awesome questions. Glad to @RepRaskin has finally seen the light.
When a president can’t be indicted, impeachment is the only way to keep him from being above the law. Leaving a lawless president in office and hoping voters will sort it out is dereliction of duty.
He was lecturing Joy Reid on being impatient 72 hours ago
So...?
The House seems overwhelmed w 45 & his administration's corruption & criminal acts, prior to winning back the House & on-going. The path to supporting docs for impeachment & litigation may seem long (as his 2+ years in office seems like eternity)..., as long as justice is served.
The upcoming election is no comparison to impeachment.
It is complete lunacy that Trump will be running for a second term. It’s crazier still that Democrats might not even try to stop that from happening. (Impeachment is the way to do that, not hearings no one shows up for)
And what ideas will the president get when he is impeached and nothing happens? Will Sargent and Raskin then demand another round of impeachment?
timing is everything. Evidence needs to be clear, and actual impeachment vote & following senate trial need to be close enough to the election that it can be used against republican lawmakers, force them to choose between the rule of law, or siding with a lawless administration
