A new impeachment process won’t result in Trump’s removal from office, given the timeframes. It won’t divide the GOP in any meaningful way. It won’t uncover and publicize any facts about Trump and the rioters that aren’t already known. It will, however, create an unhelpful distraction at a time when the focus should be on Biden’s agenda. So what’s the point?
To blow off steam, I guess. If there is one thing I learned in 37 years of dealing with government, it is that venting without a sense of strategic purpose is counterproductive. Let’s put an end to this as soon as possible.
