What's this?

Mindblowing.

There is no chance that if any president that had the cloud of misconduct enshrouding his administration there would be no talk of impeachment. In my mind it is premature at this point even if no longer beyond the realm of possibility.

There were calls for Hillary Clinton to be locked up, and presumably impeached had she won the election for considerably less of a transgression than what appears to be slowly bringing Trump down.

If you care about precedent setting, then how does impeachment for perjury for a blowjob rate?

Lastly, if impeachment does happen, it will be legal and bi-partisan as that is the only way it can happen.
