There is only 2 ways he goes down

1. A recording of him committing the crime.

2. The most inner circle turning on him and adding to Vindman's testimony they heard it with their own ears.

Even with that you might get 2nd tier people but I see no scenario that takes him out of office early.

Yes he is guilty as hell. Yes everyone knows it. People cared enough to stop life and pay attention with Nixon. The news media then was better at telling it like it was. Not now. Most don't care. Most limit their sources of info to whatever they agree with.

I hope I am wrong

It will be black and white proof that he is a fraud. Enough of the cult will come to the realization they have been conned.

Trump has submitted a tax form every year, which the IRS has reviewed. Why do people imagine that something will "suddenly" be discovered.

Is being voted out of office. I do not see a way that he faces any sort of consequences.

When he speaks, he speaks in generalities. He THINKS in generalities. "Investigations", "the woman", etc. It's one of the "gifts" of his Sociopathic Narcissism: nothing and no one else matters but Trump and Trump's glory.

He knows how to order actions by implication, like a Mob Boss.

McConnell has no love for him, and what he wants most is retaining the senate. He'll cut Trump off the moment he decides Trump is jeopardizing his majority.

...so let’s get that out of our heads right now. If a majority of the Senate convict, that’s enough and we walk away with a censure and hang it over the heads of those up for re-election and retake the Senate. Trump won’t get re-elected, we take the Senate, and keep the house. Of course, all of this hinges on a massive voter turn-out for Democrats. We need a Kentucky gubernatorial race type of turnout.

The permanent way. We still don't know why he went to Walter Reed, but he is not a healthy man. To be honest, I am hoping for that option. I'll be happy with seeing his children get the justice that is due to them, but at this point, I just want him gone for good. I never want to see him, hear him or hear about him again.
