It is not, however, a realistic goal. The Senate almost assuredly won't convict.

In fact, I'm not convinced that there even *is* a line Trump could cross that would cause the Senate to convict him. I could be wrong, but aside from something truly mind-blowing happening or being exposed in the process, it will likely fail as a removal effort.
