22. The part I'm pointing out is that Mueller can charge the President, separate from impeachment.

I agree that we need to register millions of voters and get them to show up in November.

However, even if we win 100% of the races, impeachment is mathematically impossible. If we do well, we'll flip the House, maybe (long shot) get a slim majority in the Senate. Those things would help reign in Turd. But impeachment requires 2/3 in the Senate and that's not a possibility.

So we need to keep sight of the fact that the Constitution expressly permits indictment of the President, and even an Impeachment does not foreclose criminal indictment, trial, and punishment - it is explicitly not a double-jeopardy situation.
