And have been complicit, which I think will happen, we'll see them turn on them and flip. A lot more will be exposed , and will make them give it up protecting someone that's this corrupt. The longer he's in office the more republicans will be removed or voted out of office soon. They know this now too. This corruption won't be allowed to continue, and the guilty will see justice for what they've done. If he's allowed to remain in office his corruption and crimes will escalate very quickly , and he could declare something to deny elections to take place while suggesting he has absolute power to do as he pleases.

being impeached, itself, it's quite historic. That said, the Senate has never convicted and won't because it is a political body and biased by nature. Trump is not going to be convicted under any circumstance. That said- the ability to run against an impeached President can be advantageous if you play hardball.
