That said, the impetus has to come from Republican congresspeople. Otherwise, the RW will spin it as a "coup." I'm not sure what will be left of the country in two years, but I think if Dems don't pursue impeachment the 2020 election could be a landslide for the Dems.

Question: If he is impeached, what happens to the Mueller investigation?
