The House can impeach, no problem. They probably have the votes to impeach.
The problem is the Senate. For the Senate to convict, there need to be some Republican defections. The uninformed masses are never going to read the Mueller Report. They are only going to believe what they are told by the biased pundits they listen to. If Fox News or the Daily Caller doesn't say the President is guilty of wrongdoing, they are not going to believe it if it comes from CNN or any major media source. The Republican Senators know this. They can support the President as long as their constituents want them to.
The charges against the President can't be anything minor that can easily swing any direction according to the spin. They would have to be something undeniable, something that can't be spun. It would have to be so bad that some of the Republicans in the Senate begin to call for impeachment. So far, this ain't it.
But we haven't seen everything yet. Mueller handed off 14 separate investigations to other investigators, which are currently ongoing. Twelve of them were redacted, so we don't even know who is being investigated and which agency is performing those investigations.
I think it is wise for the Democrats to go slow on impeachment. Sad, but wise. And there is nothing to stop them from digging further and conducting even more investigations.
