Fmr. Prosecutor: Trump Is In 'The Jackpot Seat For Impeachment' | The Beat With Ari Melber | MSNBC


President Trump reportedly tells Reuters that he could “run” the Mueller probe if he wanted to, as The New York Times reveals President Trump’s lawyer, Don McGahn, spoke with Mueller’s team for 30 hours and Rudy Giuliani tells NBC News that a Trump-Mueller interview could be a perjury trap.

There has been no indication that the rethugs would ever impeach, no matter what 45 has done or will do.

But it isn't. It's a political process. And I don't see an impeachment trail getting to the required 2/3 majority to convict. You might get a few Republicans to vote to convict, but not that many.
