Normally, the Mueller Report would be enough to indict and convict...

...but after two years of discrediting the man and the investigation, the Republicans have made it more difficult to impeach Donald Trump on just the Mueller Report.

However, the Mueller Report could disappear today and there would be more than enough evidence to convict Donald Trump in normal times.

He has violated the emoluments clause of our Constitution every which way from Sunday. He is an un-indicted co-conspirator in a pay-off case in New York for which his lawyer is now doing time. There are many outstanding questions about his finances and just how deep he is involved in money laundering.

The Democrats have no need to put all their eggs in the Mueller basket, in my opinion.

No guarantee Trump will accept the results of the election, why should he, no one is stopping him from abusing his power now. Democrats are taking Trump to court but those decisions may not come until after the election.

Impeachment hearings should have begun before the redacted Mueller report was even released.

I trust voting a lot more than I trust Mitch McConnell.
