Tom Coleman, former GOP Congressman and current law professor-
"Under the Constitution an individual commits treason if the nation is at war and the person provides aid and comfort to the enemy. This is an impeachable offense, committed by word or deed. It's one that individuals need to start grappling with seriously because it is not some far-fetched liberal fantasy to conclude that Donald Trump may have committed treason."

1. a president can be impeached for treason, bribery, or high crimes and misdemeanors.

imho, donnie has his the trifecta.

i think the bribery charge is going to prove to be the least controversial.

republicans can insist that obstruction of a witch hunt is justified. in any event they always insist that whatever republican presidents to, it's never obstruction.

republicans can insist that whatever involvements he had with russia don't amount to treason. no official war, no exchange of weapons, whatever.


but the bribery seems so straightforward and base. yeah, they'll insist he has a right to be a businessman and all, but when it appears he's clearly personally profiting by trading presidential decisions, such as helping a chinese company keep jobs in china....

2. It takes the Senate to convict.

That ain't happening, even with a Mega Blue Wave. So...

1.) Make his political life hell by electing a Democratic Congress in November.

2.) VOTE HIM OUT in 2020.
