What would it take to get a conviction?

Let's say Dems turned up audio of Trump saying to Putin, "If you promise to not release the videos of me raping children, I promise to do your bidding for as long as I'm in office."

Would that be enough to remove Trump from office? Or would Republicans argue that it was fake audio, or that it's concerning but not impeachable?

Seriously, what would it take?

Short of that, the GOP is signalling that they are going to gamble that the electorate is too stupid and non-engaged to remember this next year...
