2. Probably because Mueller said nothing new and the votes and public support still aren't there.

It's sad, but Obstruction is not going to take trump down. There are other things that might -- incompetence, emoluments, dementia, general corruption, creating hostilities abroad, abuse of executive power, etc.

6. Bull. If everything required public support, nothing would ever get done.

And we must do what is morally required of us. Not what is popular.

9. Little to no chance of Impeachment without 60% or so public support. That's just a fact, not BS.

You don't like it, I don't like it, but it's the way it is.

Sure, Pelosi can twist arms and maybe get sufficient House Democrats to support Impeachment, but it won't be pretty and probably won't accomplish anything with the evidence we have now. Maybe going after trump for other things -- incompetence, dementia, racism, creating hostilities abroad, etc., will work.

7. Mueller managed to NOT come to any conclusion

Yep. Sadly, and for whatever reason (please, let's not do that discussion again) Mueller did NOT pin the guy to the mat. Compiled a bunch of evidence that pointed here and there, redacted large portions of it, and then handed over to Justice (and presumably congress) and said; "Here, you decide." He didn't just leave wriggle room .. he left the crawl space under the house. And that's why we're here today.
