6. We return to my continuing point: abuse of power for personal gain is a political, not legal, basis for impeaching an elected president. It therefore requires bipartisan public legitimacy - especially when the voters get to weigh in on him in a year. That doesn't exist (yet).

7. Unless & until a majority of Republican voters - or at least, majorities in multiple states with R Senators - believes that Trump should be removed from office for abuse of power, their elected Senators are not going to do it.

8. So: if you want Trump impeached & removed from office, no amount of yelling at Republican Senators is going to get you there. Take your case to the voters.
