But at this point, there just isn't any choice left. Allowing him to serve out the rest of his term unmolested is no longer an option. The risks to national security have become too great. It is not to say that Trump hasn't been a security risk all along, but now that it's out in the open, bad actors may be motivated to strike. As long as Trump's security breaches were not generally known or confirmed, he could be blackmailed but not exposed. Now that Trump has been exposed, countries and factions that have been holding back damaging information face a time limit on how useful that material is.

... anything he does will be seen through the lens of wagging the dog.

Plus now, I don't know if the repuke Senate would back him.

Whatever happens, it's going to happen quickly. So buckle up and hang on.

and breadth of the case against him the House puts together. If the evidence is overwhelming and he believes the Senate enablers will abandon him he is capable of literally anything we can imagine.

I was going to say, we can get through whatever he does, that anything he does is just him hanging himself with all the rope.

But even after reading your "start a war" - I think there are officials who are stopping him and nations who won't play along.

He’ll attack the people he think betrayed him before anyone else.
