    Impeaching Trump won’t do that. I mean, with a Dem-led senate, there would at least be a trial, but they’d need at least 10 GOP senators to remove, and that won’t happen.

    Impeaching Hegseth? Clarence Thomas? Aileen Cannon? Go for it. Still probably won’t happen, but those are all people more vulnerable to the shame of impeachment. They might even resign.

    There’s a lot of criminal activity to expose among people who can actually be indicted and convicted. People who might testify after Trump’s get-out-of-trial-free card expires, but most importantly, people who can now be made to stop hurting the country.

    I’d still rather see them use War Powers over Iran and close ICE concentration camps than put Elon Musk in jail, if it came down to a choice, but I think they can do all three.
