actually, I think this is a shot across the bow of Senate R's basically saying that if they convict him in the impeachment trial, he'll cause havoc & chaos for the R's
it might work as a tactic. On the other hand, it might be enough to convince the R's that the only thing that can save them from trump is a conviction in the Senate, then a vote to bar him from ever holding federal office again
best case scenario is a conviction, barred from holding federal office, and trump still forms a party and runs Don Jr. for Prez and Ivanka for Senate in Florida. Bleed off the nutjob R's...and there are a lot of them
