The hearings need to start ASAP...
The subpoenas need to go out this week for documents not delivered...
Contempt charges and jail time needs to be made plain for failure to comply to the law...

Public hearings with the investigators and the president himself under oath and on TV.

THEN after everything is out in the open - with no Trump spin or Barr filter applied - THEN we decide just how many counts of Obstruction will get articles of Impeachment and put it on the Senate to do their job. If the GOP senators will not uphold the law, then we campaign against them on THAT!

Trump did the crimes.
Congress must build the case.
Then the people must be confronted with all the evidence in plain wording and broad daylight.

When someone says "collusion", they are to be rebuked.
When someone claims "exoneration", they are to be rebuked.
When someone claims "privilege" where none exists, they are to be rebuked.
