14. I have my doubts about impeaching him again

unless he does something really massively egregious, although I'm very concerned about the Barr/DOJ/Guiliani revelation that came out over the weekend. I just doubt that the House, unless they feel strongly about something, are going have the political will to try again, especially with a Republican-controlled Senate that will- in all likelihood- vote down another round of AOIs. While I think that we should have been filing AOIs against him from day 1 for a multitude of things, most impeachment efforts seem to be a one-shot deal and, with an upcoming election in a matter of months- it seems rather unlikely that the House will advance something unless Trump does something so awful that even the Republicans can't ignore/dismiss/vote it down, at which point they'd likely just tell Trump to leave on his own accord, something that he didn't have the decency to afford Vindman. But I can't even imagine how bad it would have to be for the Republicans to do that.
