“if he’s convicted in any of the criminal cases against him, would that not be considered high crimes and misdemeanors and grounds for impeachment, knowing full well a bunch of Republicans would join in to impeach him again.
This is the worst-case situation that needs to be considered.”
Generally no. Because high crimes and misdemeanors refers to actions while in office. And the prosecutors are not acting in good faith, but instead are acting with a political purpose. And if the people decide to elect a candidate despite convictions, then the Congress would be hard-pressed to remove on that basis. It would be a non-starter.
The purpose of the trials is to prevent Trump from being on state ballots, but it’s not working. And the people in the primaries would just write him in anyway. They’re flailing and failing.
Ask yourself, I don’t know the full history but has any POTUS ever been elected as someone convicted of crimes and likely hit with a Civil judgement for rape.
