Philanthropist and activist Tom Steyer took a fair amount of heat from the Democratic establishment for raising the impeachment flag. But he may well have it right.
Trump seems to be getting closer and closer to firing Special Counsel Robert Mueller, as the waters rise around him. His statements are getting more and more reckless, suggesting panic.
Republicans need to be put on notice that Trump has already obstructed justice and may soon be even more flagrant about it. Even if he doesn't fire Mueller, the special counsel's finding will likely produce a prima facie case.
Trump's defenders keep pointing out that a president cannot be indicted, only impeached. That's exactly right. The 2018 midterms could well be run on the Republicans' failure to impeach a president who richly earned impeachment. It's not too soon to put them on notice.
