Impeachment is a political process. You don't need a criminal charge at all. It may be tough to make a case against the president just because you hate him, but they only need 218 votes.

But if the Dems gain control of the House and impeach Trump it is highly doubtful that the 2/3 vote in the Senate would be there. The impeachment would prove a spectacular failure and the Dems would end up with egg on their faces. They need not fear defections of moderates from the party because there are no more moderate Democrats. But the 2020 election cycle is coming right up.

It doesn’t have to be “criminal,” but there has to be SOMETHING to base your impeachment effort on. The Dems squawk about immigration, but all Trump has done is enforce laws already on the books for years.

Just because Obama chose to be “lawless” and not enforce existing law is no reason to impeach Trump for enforcing it.

Impeachment talk on that basis is beyond ludicrous.
