Quin Hillyer (Repub from AL) wrote in right wing Washington Examiner. Impeach him!
Not linking to the WE but here’s his wording. If this guy, who ran for Congress in AL in 2013 and was backed by Rick Santorum has thrown in the towel...
A quid and a quo, and Trump should go

Judging by the evidence we have before us, the House of Representatives should impeach President Trump, and the Senate should remove him from office.
The newly released transcript of Trump’s call with incoming Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky shows Trump abusing his office in multiple ways. This is especially evident when considering the context of other actions already acknowledged by either Trump or his private attorney, Rudy Giuliani.
I’ve argued in prior columns that the very involvement of the president in urging a foreign government to criminally investigate a U.S. citizen never charged under U.S. law is extremely problematic. When the targeted citizen is his chief political rival, or the rival’s son, it's worse. Even worse is when the president’s own lawyer says a major goal of the pressure on the foreign government is so that the rival “didn’t become president without having to answer” for his Ukrainian dealings.
The president is using his office to pressure a foreign government to harass an American citizen for political reasons.
