A Hillary Clinton victory next week combined with a Republican majority in at least one house of Congress most assuredly will lead to impeachment, writes Ed Kilgore in New York Magazine.
"Republicans may well tear each other apart in a 'struggle for the soul' of their party if Trump loses. But they will remain united on one if only one topic: Hillary Clinton," Kilgore wrote.
House Republicans are already champing at the bit to investigate a would-be President Clinton from Day 1, with the FBI's decision to reopen the email investigation providing the latest fodder.
Kilgore writes that maybe the impending 2018 and 2020 elections, potentially big wins for Republicans, could convince the GOP not to "overplay their hands."
"But even if it seems rational to hold back on the impeachment talk and instead just keep Hillary Clinton from accomplishing anything, it is unclear if congressional Republicans will be able to restrain themselves if an angry and vengeful conservative base — perhaps led by former-nominee Trump — is calling out for removal of the 'crooked' beneficiary of a 'rigged' election," Kilgore wrote.
