Democrats Are Vowing to Impeach Trump "As Fast As Possible." But at What Cost?

Go too fast and force on-the-fence moderates to vote with less evidence.

With 2020 fast approaching, the go-fast gang appears to be winning out.

"There's a desire to finish as fast as possible - there's no question about that," Rep. Karen Bass, a member of both the Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees, told reporters this week.

"I'm going to wait it out," Rep. Jeff Van Drew told reporters at the Capitol last week.

Even moderates who do support the probe have said they're not ready to vote to impeach Trump, despite a steady stream of evidence-and his own admission-that he pressed Ukraine to investigate his political rival.

The White House is reportedly planning to send Pelosi a letter demanding an impeachment vote before they cooperate.

Those moderates pleading for more evidence, and more patience, might want to let those things play out before they vote.
