reaching the DA's office has nothing to do with the indictment.

Mr Trump was impeached.
Okay. Now the process wasn't completed. So using your example the indictment and in this case the impeachment means nothing. No action was or will be taken. Meaning the indictment and the impeachment was a complete waste of time. Especially if neither the prosecutor, the DA or Speaker Pelosi and the Democrats have no intention of utilizing the indictment or impeachment. They basically mean nothing.

I have a basic disagreement with this analysis. Remember Mueller's "speaking indictments" against the Russians? This is more like that. Those Russians are unlikely to ever be tried, just as it is unlikely that Trump will be legitimately "tried" in the Senate. The impeachment is closer to a speaking indictment in this case. The point has been made.
