Although this is from another angle..it still would apply ....

...”Why take a case to trial when the jury is the defendant’s brethren?.... There is a point of view among conservatives that impeachment is a victory in itself, regardless of what happens in the Senate.... When viewed through the lens of our legal system, impeachment is a defeat if there is no conviction in the Senate, ....though arguments that the proceedings might slow Obama down, make him more cautious, or distract him are not totally without merit.

Like O.J. Simpson,... Clinton was obviously guilty as charged but was acquitted.... The latter belonged to a party that prioritizes united fronts over justice. ...In Clinton’s case, he was acquitted by a Jury of his fellow Democrats,... which is what would happen if Obama were impeached on charges that weren’t so incredibly severe,... even Democrats would have to abandon him..... Farenthold then rightfully argues that Clinton’s acquittal had the effect of weaving the intricacies of Bubba’s sordid standards into America’s cultural fabric.

It’s attitudes like yours that this goes no where.

It takes 1 to start the ball rolling, 100 start getting heard, a few thousand starts to scare them and eventually you get results.
