I think we know where the current investigation falls on that spectrum.
Saying you’ll begin impeachment proceedings if the report shows a consistent pattern of the administration engaging in high crimes and misdemeanors doesn’t tie anyone’s hands. It would cost her nothing, but Pelosi can’t bring herself to do that. It doesn’t exactly inspire confidence that the Dem establishment is escaping its long pattern of snatching defeat from the jews of victory.
Making a clear statement about the intent and timing re: impeachment doesn’t preclude focusing on those issues. In fact, doing so allows the party to table it with a firm and resolute promise that it will be handled so that they can focus on the other legislation.
On that issue it is.
