So far, it looks as if he will be impeached only for the Ukraine quid pro quo. But there are a ton of other obstruction charges that could be added and don't seem to be. And this current corrupt collaboration with Republican Senators. Not to mention that the tax return issue has finally made it to the Supreme Court. It looks as if the drumbeat of impeachment could be repeated until the election, putting the corruption of the Republicans in the public eye for months and months. | ||
