The best reason to move forward with impeachment now is that the Republicans are never going to engage in anything like good faith or probity. The President's men could lie to the committees, and the GOP would ignore it, Barr's DOJ would never prosecute. "Slow down" is bait.

Russia attacked us in 2016. Ukraine didn’t do squat. That’s the truth. And every Member of Congress knows it. So any Member of Congress who tells you that Ukraine meddled in our elections is lying. And spreading Putin’s propaganda.
