Because Republicans wanted them!
'because political party a wants something' isn't cause for foregoing an impeachment vote when, per political party b, they already have the means to vote to impeach the President this minute.

in fairness the hearing is to present evidence both to the legislature at large and the american people.
in even more fairness we can not expect this to be a brief overview of the investigation thusfar and then move right on to a vote.
evidence to impeach =/= evidence to remove. evidence to remove is dependent on the impeachment, which basically equals the hearings themselves. they're sadly a necessary process, which will give the excuse to drag it out.
evidence and proof aren't the same thing, there's lots of evidence.
the guy said there is sufficient evidence to impeach
todaythey can have the trial for removal in the senate. plenty of time to present the evidence for removal there before uhh, what's the next important political event again?
