Ya think?Asking Ukraine to investigate the Bidens is exactly the kind of misconduct the framers had in mind in introducing a check on misuse of power.
Trump’s action regarding Ukraine, which included demanding that Zelensky publicly announce a criminal investigation into the Bidens in exchange for an Oval Office meeting and the release of military aid to Ukraine, according to testimony in the impeachment inquiry by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State George Kent and Ambassador to the European Union Gordon Sondland, was about as impeachable as an offense can get. Therefore, waiting for an election — the very thing compromised by the offense — is not an option.
As a constitutional law professor, I am used to considering hypotheticals, but I do not need one here. Soliciting foreign intervention to undermine the integrity of the American electoral system is exactly the sort of misconduct the framers had in mind when they established the impeachment process in the Constitution.

That, IMO, is about the gist of it. If this is not impeachable, nothing is.
