It is not worth the gamble, 16 months puts us at Aug 2020. Trump will leave office Jan 2021. That's 5 months.

Is it worth risking another 48 months of Trump to shave of 5 months of his term?

He will be indicted Jan 20th 2021, he is going to jail. Between being "Individual 1", the obstruction of justice charges, and whatever else the other 14 cases find, Trump is going to jail and for a long time.

If impeachment back fires and he wins in 2020 he will run the clock out on all charges and server no time

I would not risk 4 more years of trump and no jail time just get rid of him 5 months early
