A surprising number of Trump defenders who say that impeaching Trump would be outrageous happen to have favored impeaching Obama in 2014.
For example, here's Jeanine Pirro arguing that Obama should be impeached for trading five Gitmo detainees for Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl. insider.foxnews.com/2014/06/08/jud… 
Here's Mark Levin, not only advocating Obama's impeachment but expressing outrage toward those who opposed impeaching him. realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/07/…
And as I noted earlier, this wasn't an unusual view among Republicans around that time. In this 2014 poll, 68% of Republicans favored impeaching Obama. today.yougov.com/topics/politic…
At the time, the GOP base strongly favored impeaching Obama but "the establishment" (like John Boehner) wouldn't back it, which some prominent conservative voices took as a sign of the establishment's corruption and the weakness of the GOP leaders. mediamatters.org/rush-limbaugh/…
It was just the kind of environment conducive to a campaign by a populist outsider who was running against the establishment and claiming everyone was corrupt, & who became prominent in politics by saying Obama wasn't even eligible to be Prez.
That was Trump, of course. /end
