This is an excellent article from Rolling Stone about the impeachable offenses that Trump has committed, and the historical context compared to other Presidents' crimes.
Waiting for the 2020 election to remove Trump from office would be an egregious mistake. Anyone who thinks this is a wise course of action vastly underestimates the threat to our democracy posed by Trump.
I particularly liked this quote about the idiotic "Deep State" hysteria:

Waiting for the 2020 election to remove Trump from office would be an egregious mistake. Anyone who thinks this is a wise course of action vastly underestimates the threat to our democracy posed by Trump.
I particularly liked this quote about the idiotic "Deep State" hysteria:
Here is another of the central dangers of permitting Trump to stay in office. He has shown he will stop at nothing to taint the 2020 election. And more profoundly, he is trying to subvert the American government. Trump and his supporters like to rail against what they call the “deep state” as an un-American force. But that “deep state” is in fact nothing more than the government of the United States of America, which he and his supporters hold in open contempt and which the Trump White House has done its utmost to decimate, replacing responsible officials with flunkies.
Another good quote:
It would require at least 20 Republican senators to desert Trump in order to remove him from office. Many observers consider that highly unlikely, to say the least, but the clarity of the evidence mounting against the president — and his contempt for Congress’ power — may make the outcome in the Senate far from a foregone conclusion. Trump’s Republican loyalists are not doing themselves or their party any favors, let alone the nation. They seem oblivious to the glaring fact of Trump’s career: That, perhaps outside of his own family, there is no associate he is not willing to destroy once he decides that his finances, his power, or simply his fragile ego demand it.
Trump’s offenses represent the greatest threat to American democracy since the Confederate secession in 1860-61. The time is fast approaching for all Americans to decide which side they are on: the United States of America or Donald J. Trump.
