If Democrats were serious about it they would have allowed the courts to adjudicate the subpoena issues.
IOW, continue investigation until they had sufficient evidence to *force* Republicans to remove Trump. But they were in a hurry. They said, because Trump might meddle in the 2020 election lol. Which makes absolutely no sense, because if Trump can’t be removed, he’s free to meddle. Not that there’s the first shred of evidence that Trump has meddled in any election. Google and some of the big tech companies are the biggest election meddlers, anyway. But that’s another issue.
The truth is, they just wanted to impeach Trump—and the sooner the better.
It didn’t matter what for.
