Donald Trump has been warned the “countdown” to impeachment is underway, after his former lawyer implicated the president in crimes committed during the 2016 election.
On Thursday, Mr Trump publicly addressed the prospect of impeachment for the first time, claiming the market would “crash” if his presidency was threatened.
“I don't know how you can impeach somebody who has done a great job,” Mr Trump told Fox News. “I will tell you what, if I ever got impeached, I think the market would crash. I think everybody would be very poor because, without this thinking, you would see – you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe, in reverse.”
Mr Trump’s comments came after Michael Cohen, his long-time legal “fixer”, pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges, including two counts of campaign finance violations, which he said he committed at the direction of the president.
Cohen admitted paying hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal, both alleged to have had extramarital affairs with Mr Trump.
Tom Cole, a Republican member of the House of Representatives, warned it was "too soon" to begin impeachment proceedings, but said: "If something comes out that is clear and convincing and impeachable, I think members will act."
Al Green, a Democratic congressman who has previously filed articles of impeachment against Mr Trump, suggested he may do so again following Cohen’s guilty plea.
"I think the president has to realise that the countdown to impeachment has already started,” he said. "He, at some point, will have to choose if he will face impeachment or if he will resign. It will be his choice. The congress will have no choice but to act.”

Nonsense.
… after his former lawyer implicated the president in crimes committed during the 2016 election …Repeating the lies for the zillionth time. Lanny Davis is not Michael Cohen, and those things “confessed” to are not crimes.
Democrats have a divine right to win all elections.
Al Green, a piece of trash being quoted like he is somebody to listen to.
Bullbleep.
Thank you Jeff Sessions
Countdown to impeachment might also be countdown to CWII
Bullbleep. Nearly two years of the ( massive and expensive) witch hunt and they’ve found nothing, nada, zilch of any imaginable impeachable offense against PDJT.
Tom Cole is a NeverTrumper who finally got religion, but still shills for the Amnesty Crowd.
Please.
Countdown to impeachment might also be countdown to CWII

Agreed! He is the main reason on this S??? is happening!
BWAHAHAHA !!!
And what is the crime ?
(it must be election time)
...Al Green, a Democratic congressman who has previously filed articles of impeachment against Mr Trump...
Aw Jeez, not articles of impeachment again.
A better name would be the Countdown to Civil War, because if the one happens the other is happening at the same time.
In other words, a fake and a fraud.

If it isn’t, then the 2nd Amendment really is for duck hunting because our generations will have failed it.
The impeachment of Trump will embolden the Socialists and the GOP cucks will give them whatever they want and pretend to be the opposition again.
