You know what will lead to impeachment? imho

Trump has been laundering Russian money through real estate. I think that is where Linsdey Graham is going. I think Montafort and probably Carter are up to there eyeballs on this.

Bookmark this prediction. It may be a couple of years before it happens. But that is what will get him - laundering Russian money through real estate transactions.

expect Trump to start issuing lots of pardons, maybe even one for himself.

2. Manafort was named in a RICO case for this a couple of years ago, but I don't think it

That seems to be the thread
That has the strongest legal case and trail of evidence, as well as potential incriminating witnesses to flip.

he never sucked up to Trump. one of the few. Even McCain endorsed him, but I think he withdrew it after the P-grabbing tape.

But Trump voters are okay with the corruption of the venal and bigoted. And they own the Republican party.

That is why Trump went ballistic when he recused himself from the Flynn Affair.

13. the DOJ has been brought to heel by Trump and the Keebler Elf

The FBI may have units operating with some discretion, but generally the DOJ is a lost cause until a Democrat regains the white house and fumigates it.

16. I think Flynn is about as good as indicted. Probably Manafort too.

But Trump will never be impeached by a GOP Congress. He is there until at least 19. Even if he got indicted or his kids did and he pardoned them and pardoned himself, the GOPers will never do the right thing. I am hoping you are wrong about the DoJ.

I don't think anything this gang does will get the impeachment started. Teflon Don is in the WH
