Trump is a criminal in multiple ways, in broad daylight. I think the Democrats will be anxious to demonstrate that we are a country of laws, not a cult of personality.
I don't consider that a waste of time.
We've done this. Impeaching him doesn't demonstrate that we are a country of laws in any meaningful way. It almost always doesn't help to bring an indictment you know you can't win in court. It doesn't help to bring an impeachment that you know you can't get a conviction on. All it does is say that you're more concerned about empty gestures that "demonstrate" something rather than real stuff.
Use the investigative power and go after everyone else that has committed wrongdoing. All the administration staff and private actors that have been lining their pockets with the graft and corruption that has gone unchecked in the Administration. The folks who can be criminally prosecuted for their crimes and self-dealing, when such has occurred.
Spending resources on Trump, instead of all of the other potential wrongdoers in a very target-rich environment, is a waste of time. Demonstrate we're a country of laws? Go after the people you can meaningfully impose a punishment on, if they have violated the laws.
