Trump needs to be impeached. Not right away, but after the normal process of justice. Congressional hearings and investigations. Mueller report made public. House votes for a bill of impeachment.

Let's stop for a moment of contemplation here. <=====

I think we can all agree that it is very possible to get to a bill of impeachment. Can the House vote it out? Probably. Should we go this far? Yes, for several reasons. It's the right, ethical thing to do to uphold our principles of being a nation of decent people. It would put the Senate Republicans in an unenviable position. Each senator would be forced to show the level of their venality. A vote on impeachment might be the nail in the coffin of the GOP. Let the sorry Trump era be the GOP's eternal shame, because obviously gthey learned nothing from the Nixon era, or the GWBush era.
