If impeachment were to happen you could need clear illegal activity or gross abuse of power that is clear for all to see. Most of the country would need to see that it's a justified impeachment. We're not there yet.
Trump is getting closer to it than we've seen since Bill Clinton and the affair. There still isn't any direct implication to Trump himself but this e-mail chain implicates his campaign manager and his son.
At the moment the riskiest thing is that he fired the FBI Director. Given that it now seems this was at least one part of what he was investigating then it looks really bad. He fired the guy who was investigating his Son and campaign manager for alleged collusion with the Russians! Remember it was the cover-up that got Nixon in the end.
By the way how stupid is that e-mail chain? Why was he was open in e-mail!? Who writes down such incriminating stuff in a medium which is trackable, hackable and can be obtained quite easily. Especially when running against someone who got in trouble because their e-mails leaked.  |
If you ask me, I think Trump is bored of the Presidency, I got that impression last week at the G20, it seemed an effort for him to be there, in one photo opportunity, he seemed uninterested and our own PM tapped him twice on the shoulders to get him to turn around and in one meeting at the G20, he stepped out of it and he got his own daughter, Ivanka to sit in which rightfully raised a few eyebrows. I do not usually jump in on the criticism bandwagon but that was totally wrong her sitting there like that.
