It is to put the facts before the members of Congress and let them vote on whether an impeachment trial should be held. This is, in effect, the probable cause phase or the process, the grand jury. Evidence is being provided that will then be presented to congressional members who will vote on whether there should be a trial.

It is unethical, and corrupt, and dishonest, but we all know, we are long past of the point of integrity in the U.S. We are somewhere in the area between dysfunctionalism and an actual failed state.
