You'd be hard-pressed to learn from media analysis the real argument for impeachment, which is that it's the only conceivable way to hold Trump accountable.

Reading over the particulars is a reminder of just how systematic Trump’s assault on democracy has been. If the 120th Congress does not make an effort to hold him accountable for these abuses, you can be sure that a future president will use this as a to-do list.

    Impeachment in the House is only bringing charges. It means nothing. The Senate will vote not guilty just like Jan 6th. It will exonerate Trump.

      I think impeaching allows Trump to control the agenda “look at all these do nothing Dems spending their time trying to stop me make America great again”. We all know he’s guilty and we all know the senate won’t convict him. The Dems are better of passing legislation that will improve people’s lives and leaving Trump with the decision to veto it or not. At least they can set out an agenda of what they could achieve if they had a trifecta.
