News of Speaker of the House Paul Ryan’s retirement at the end of this term has CNBC journo John Harwood upping the odds that President Trump will be impeached in a big way:
after Ryan announcement, Cook Report's @redistrict puts chances for Dems recapturing House this fall at 75%. If that happens, chances of serious Trump impeachment attempt at least that high. https://t.co/SsAUm32RhA

Impeached on what charge? Meh, they’ll think of something.
John, for you to predict the President will likely be impeached in 2019 without citing any cause for impeachment is a smear. Shame on you John.

Until a charge can be dug up, Frank Luntz had a reminder for any Democrat who might be getting a little too cocky about Dems taking control of Congress after the midterms (and initiating impeachment proceedings on charges to be named later):
Republicans keeping the House in 2018 would be as unexpected as… Donald Trump winning the White House in 2016. https://t.co/npNxFP186B

Democrats might not want to count those impeachment chickens just yet.
