I think impeachment should be done regardless. Emoluments, national security, any number of offenses from the SOB in the whitehouse. My "but", is that I believe to win not just a historical note, there is a path to impeach both Trump (in the technical sense) and McConnell (in the court of public opinionn sens) and win the political battle (Whitehouse, Senate, House in 2020) as well. I'd be more than happy if that worked out and New York state put the con-man behind bars for the rest of his life.
