They should have done it right after the Mueller report drop. By waiting it makes it seem like they're not sure that Trump did anything worth impeaching.
The Republicans only gained by investigating Bill Clinton. G.W. Bush beat Gore. Gore distanced himself from Clinton because of the whole scandal. And the Hillary investigation certainly hurt Hillary.
At the end of the day being impeached is a stain on Trump's record. It hurts him with ordinary people who don't follow the details. It also forces people to learn the details about why he's being impeached. That's the big win of impeachment, everyone in the country will know why. They'll know about his lies and obvious attempts to silence witnesses.
I don't really think you comprehend the gravity of the situation that face's Pelosi.
With a guy like Clinton, you can afford to miss, Clinton's not bat **** crazy like Trump. With Trump, there is no way forward but to have a path that will absolutely remove him. The stakes are too high. I believe she will impeach, she's just allowing stink to rise, until the stink is so great that the odor is unmistakable and unavoidable, like a huge turd in a living room, you got to get rid of it, there's no way out.
Observing the events that have occurred so far, just when you think the stink is too strong, it gets even worse.
I'm pretty sure, in the coming months, impeachment hearings will commence. Well, for one thing, the damn is cracking:
To wit:
1. Judge orders Stone redactions removed from Mueller report
2. Judge orders Flynn redactions removed from Mueller report
3. House Intel Cmte to get Mueller intelligence material
4. IRS legal case to withhold Trump tax returns crumbling
5. NY to mak Trump tax returns available to Congress
6. Trump accounting firm ordered to obey subpoena
7. Trump losing subpoena fight over bank records

The dynamics of impeaching the president, especially someone who is powerful and unpredictable, someone who lusts after power, someone who is drunk on power, and on top of it, not very bright, the dynamics, the gravity of the situation, is mindbogglingly great. I don't think you can comprehend it, your comment reeks of smallness, someone who has very little imagination.
Give it time, and prepare to have your nostrils to be assaulted.
