Trump supporters should encourage Dems to pursue impeachment w/o delay. They do have a case and should try to make it.

As a Trump supporter myself I will lay it out the way I see it.

Several statements by democrats claim ( I'm paraphrasing ) its a mater of principals and we need to do what is right for the democracy even if its harmful to the country. The prosperity of the people should not be a consideration. Nothing should stand in the way of doing what is right no matter how damaging it is to the people or the country.

With no high crimes or misdemeanor its a political matter. One that can't wait to be decided by a political campaign winner.

Democrats don't need the Mueller/Barr report at all. Most of it was publicly known before the report was released. They could use the report or not in the trial in the senate that must take place.
Remember also that in this senate trial, required in the impeachment process, the defense gets to present its case and its witnesses also. Some of the democrats witnesses will be people criminally convicted or under indictment or criminal referral by the time the trial takes place. Its unclear what witnesses the defense will call to testify, maybe the same could be said. Who knows ?

Everything will be exposed to the public and we can all see the evidence produced in the senate trial. Its better than having a trial in the media which is one sided. Lets get more transparency and hear both sides of the story !!! Something most media doesn't want to present is both sides of the issue.

Justification for impeachment and the process is pointed out in the links offered here.
Let me point out what is in the democrats favor. ( first link, its in the federalist papers )

Hamilton explained impeachment. He defined impeachable offenses as “those offences which proceed from the misconduct of public men, or in other words from the abuse or violation of some public trust. They are of a nature which may with peculiar propriety be denominated political, as they relate chiefly to injuries done immediately to the society itself.”


Here is the second link that lays out the process.
