To Imeach or Not to Impeach?

The Mueller Report came out when Congress was in recess fr a two week Easter and Passover vacation. It was the Thursday before Good Friday. Everything about the report was strategic and deliberate to take attention away from it while Congress was not in session. If this is the Mueller Report it is time that we even heard Mueller's voice. As an evidentiary matter the report probably does bolster the reason for impeachment. However, it would be a bad idea for the Democrats who just took power to embark on impeachment so soon after it has been eight years where they had no power in government. 
The House of Representatives does an equivalent of an indictment. The indictment then goes to the Senate. It takes 2/3rd s of the Senate to vote to convict. Even if we had a Democratic Senate which we do not have the majority there, that is a high bar to achieve. Congress has alot to do rather than chase after Disastrous Donald and his great influence over the Attorney General, Judges and even the Supreme Court now. What if the impeachment process is not successful? Nancy Pelosi is correct in waiting on impeachment and let the lower districts do their job of holding Trump accountable on the many other crimes he has already been charged with.
