Here's my take on it.
House Democrats will now have complete power to investigate and vote on articles of impeachment. Knowing that it would then take two-thirds of the Senate to convict, the House findings combined with Mueller's report could be so overwhelming that the Senate could be compelled to convict. It's even possible that Pence could also be impeached and convicted. Keep in mind that new House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is third in line for the presidency.
My guess is that House Democrats will not rush to impeach Trump - but I feel certain they will investigate the hell out of him and let the chips fall where they may. Mueller's findings will be paramount in whatever they decide.
Well, that's my take on it. What do you think?
I think that it would be a good times for ALL members of congress to take a pledge saying that they will only impeach and remove a President if there is very VALID reason for doing so.
Democrats should not impeach just because the don't like Trump and disagree with his policies. Impeachment is not to be exercised as a legislative coup.
Republicans should be willing to impaech and remove him from office if there is a VALID reason for doing so - they should not give into partisanship to protect any Presdient.
The Republicans would be more likely to go to him privately and say, "Look, either you resign, or we're going to impeach you", the way they did with Nixon. They're not willing to tolerate and support that level of offense, but they'd also prefer not to put the nation through a spectacle if they can help it.
If he refused to cooperate, then yeah, I think they'd be willing to impeach him if it were warranted.
That being said, I have never seen any evidence that Trump has committed an impeachment-level offense. I don't like the guy, but that's not enough.
He has been implicated in two felonies with Cohen. I have heard his girlfriend...Graham.... say that is not good enough to impeach....What is? Does he have to murder someone?
He hasn't been implicated in a damn thing, you idiots are grasping at thin air.

Right....only in a Federal Indictment....the chickens will soon come home to roost....
