Indeed yesterday trump was formally charged with an impeachment investigation in the House of Representatives. The breaking point being for this official investigation was the whistleblower information about possible crimes that trump may well have committed that was illegally being withheld from House oversight committees. It isn't the only malfeasance trump has committed with impunity so far but it is the most recent and through trump's own words actually did happen. So we take that allegation and add to it all the other allegations even from the Mueller report and we should have plenty of evidence to vote for impeachment in the House.
Now getting 67 senators to agree is a tall task as the majority in the 100 member senate is 53 republicans. Normally that shouldn't matter but we don't live in normal times anymore. Republicans have gone out of their way to ignore and dispute obvious truths to protect their majority and their appointed republican president so far. Yet when the evidence does become clear for all to see it will be much harder for republican senators to defend trump when there is no defense. Unfortunately that still won't be enough to get republicans to turn from their meal ticket but it gives the voting electorate a stark choice between retaining them in 2020 those who are up for election.
A price will be paid and the Senate republicans have to ask themselves who will pay it? The dastardly conman who defiled our executive office or themselves for collaborating with him. The strategy of standing firm against all odds is breaking apart and who will be left to stand by trump when the whole of the growing anti trump electorate throws him out of office if he is still around by November 3rd. 2020. Will they go down with him or will they try to salvage what is left of their corrupt souls? We shall see sooner than later I suspect as an unofficial impeachment inquiry has been going on for months now.
