The Republic may yet be saved.
Rather than attempt a suicidal impeachment, the CommieRATS will probably let this hush-money crap hang around until the 2020 election for political reasons.
Trump can counter that with declassification, showing the whole Mueller crap to be a politicized scam.
He can also attack the CommirRATS on health care. In the House, they will be too divided between the establishment and their loco-socialist-Bernie-AOC wing, so they won't be able to pass Medicare-for-all or anything else.
Meanwhile, the rabid pro-impeach base will be disappointed, and many of their voters will stay home.
It will only take about 18 seats to flip the House back to the GOP. POTUS has a clear path to real MAGA, beginning 1/20/2021 (as long as McTurtle, McCarthy, and John Roberts don't FUCK it up).
*******
Case in point: The FEC hit Barack Obama's 2008 campaign with, according to The Washington Post, "among the largest penalties in the agency’s history" when it levied a $375,000 fine for failing "to disclose the identities of donors responsible for $2 million in contributions" and misreporting "the dates of $85 million in other contributions." The Obama people "kept $1.3 million in contributions that were above the legal maximum allowed for a federal campaign, failing to return them within the 60 days required by law. The campaign kept almost $874,000 of those donations until the FEC discovered they were unlawful."
Doing a quick bit of math here, the Obama campaign made mistakes with nearly $90 million, or about 321 times the amount Trump and Cohen were dealing with. Obama supporters say these were paperwork mistakes (oh, to have paperwork this lucrative!) while Trump's antagonists argue his alleged sins are far more sinister.

If you want to impeach the president, go for it. But don't insult the Constitution's demand for high crimes and misdemeanors with this campaign finance flimflam.
