Report that impeachment is imminent

It seems that was somewhere in the reports this morning.  So, what to make of this? 

Some Democrat said that an impeachment would allow them to "seek information".  One may ask this:  if information is needed, then what was Mueller for?  If the information doesn't exist for their purpose at the moment, then the matter is political.

If the matter is political, then why should the administration be compelled to produce documents?  It must have a legal basis.  For instance, during the Watergate era, the legal basis for demanding the tapes was the burglary itself.  Without the burglary, what use were the tapes?  Investigators sought the tapes in order to determine if Nixon was trying to cover up any material participation in the crime.

As with the Mueller investigation itself, this is a fishing expedition.  There was no fish to catch in the Mueller investigation, so the Democrats have nothing but a political motive here in order to obtain information.  If the Democrats claim a cover up, then the cover up is of what?  No collusion was found.

If the accusation is based upon some violation of law in itself, they would have a legal basis.  But no crime has been established.  Basically, this is a political gimmick.

By the way, could this be a distraction from the upcoming revelations from the phony Russian collusion investigation?  Actually, spygate is really no revelation at all.
