IMPEACHMENT HEARINGS AS AN INVESTIGATIVE TOOL?

In the grand scheme of things, the schism in the Democratic Party between those who want to begin Trump impeachment proceedings immediately and those, mindful of what happened when Clinton was hastily impeached, can be easily bridged.  The caution that some in the Democratic Party, basis past history, is easily reconciled by initiating investigations by impeachment proceedings for Trump appointed officials who  defy Congressional demands.  

Barr won't turn over documents? Commence impeachment proceedings against him.  Republican Senate acquits Barr?  Republican Party expends political capital doings so.  Mnuchin won't release Trumps tax returns?  Impeach him.  If Senate acquits; Republicans expend political capital fighting impeachment.

Impeachment proceedings can be an investigative tool what can help even in the run up to the 2020 elections, the ultimate Presidential impeachment method.
