And one wouldn't have to prove treason to make a case. The problem is that it's unlikely that repubs are going to support an impeachment effort against Trump unless and until they think its safe for them to do so -- that is, it won't trigger primary challenges from Trump supporters.

And given that Trump supporters have turned a blind eye to so much already, I wouldn't hold my breath.
