Too late!
First it was the New York Times with a report that President Trump called former FBI Director James Comey a “nut job.” Then came the Washington Post with a report that a current White House official is a “significant person of interest” in the FBI’s Russia investigation. Then came McClatchy with their anonymous sources saying the FBI is now investigating a possible WH “cover-up.”
And now we have CNN reporting that the White House is beginning to research impeachment procedures, just in case:
CNN Breaking News: White House Officials are researching impeachment procedures should that become a possibility.

From CNN:
But lawyers in the White House counsel’s office have consulted experts in impeachment during the past week and have begun collecting information on how such proceedings would work, a person briefed on the matter told CNN.
Update. The White House denies the report:
A White House official tells me that @CNN reporting that WH counsel is looking into impeachment procedures is "FALSE"
