An impeachment proceeding conducted after Trump is a private citizen would fail and it would halt all other business in the Senate. Pursuing impeachment would doom Biden’s oft-claimed desire for unity and healing. By stopping the partisan revenge tactics Biden would look very Presidential and possibly help America avoid the seemingly certain backlash that probably will result in chaos.

It would also throw water on the belief that Biden is just a placeholder and it would prove that he is his own man. Joe should put his words of healing and unity into action. It could be a defining moment for the office of the President.

He could, and likely should, but I think it would fall on deaf ears.

At this point I don't see any good coming from investigation either as those demanding it would only accept one outcome. Wrong answer would equal more traitors and a new level opening in the rabbit hole.
