To impeach, or not to impeach? That will be the question.

Rudy Giuliani.

John Amato.

Host Dana Bash asked about intentional strategy to attack the validity of the special counsel since Robert Mueller must stay silent.
BASH: No, but, I mean, that this is an intentional strategy to undermine the investigation, knowing that they, the investigators, the special counsel, it's their policy not to talk. But you are very free to and are very aggressive about doing so. 
GIULIANI: Well, I mean, they're -- they are giving us the material. I -- I couldn't do it if I didn't have the material. They are giving us the material to do it. Of course, we have to do it in defending the president. We are defending -- to a large extent, remember, Dana, we are defending here, it is for public opinion, because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach, not impeach. 
Rudy continued, "Members of Congress, Democrat and Republican, are going to be informed a lot by their constituents. So, our jury is the American -- as it should be -- is the American people. And the American people, yes, are Republicans largely, independents pretty substantially, and even Democrats now question the legitimacy of it."
Rudy is admitting that they feel impeachment is an option and is coming down the pike. That's odd since Trump has repeatedly said he and his campaign did nothing wrong.

But with this admission by Trump's legal spokesperson, the media should not ever take any attacks by the Trump administration on the Special Counsel seriously ever again.

Endless, continuing, and public efforts at obstruction of justice.

Abuse of power (the Amazon/Bezos stuff).

Possibly some charges to do with perjury or lying to the FBI.

Maybe, in the end, something to do with unlawful acceptance of Russian help in the campaign.

At least the first three are possible bases for articles of impeachment I and maybe most people would support.

The last? The "underlying crime"? Not so much.

And there might be any number of incidental crimes unearthed in the course of the investigation.

We'll see, as the Duce so likes to say.
