I wonder if #fiftyfive or #fiftyfivepercent will trend? Trump is in deep deep shit now. Nixon resigned at 55%

Trump can't resign because Mueller told us he has 12 indictments waiting. Trump would go straight to jail, do not pass Go

& Pence can't pardon Trump for NY state crimes
To everybody in this thread (wow, nearly 100 replies, THANKS !! very good stuff here)

About the pardoning. There is a misfortunate article by Robert Reich where he had the pardoning part WRONG. You yes you DID read a very reputable source say Trump can't be pardoned but not true
So Pence's pardoning Trump. The ONLY thing about impeachment that changes, is that THE IMPEACHMENT itself cannot be pardoned. Pence can pardon Trump of ANY other crimes - that are federal, including yes, extortion of Ukraine, obstruction of justice, tax fraud, bribery, lies etc
What Pence cannot NOT pardon, are state crimes (those can be pardoned by each Governor of that state). Mueller found Trump committing crimes - STATE crimes - in NY, IL, CA and FL that we know of. This is not 'SDNY' - The Southern District of NY is a FEDERAL court (nor EDNY)
With federal and state crimes, almost always, the state prosecutors let the FEDERAL prosecutors go first. So NY, IL, CA (& FL) will wait. If Pence pardons, he cannot pardon state crimes. If Pence did not, then Feds (incl SDNY, EDNY) will go first, and slap 1,000 years of crimes
but Mueller also found in-state crimes (at least part are tax crimes which never run out) and while FL is not sure if it will prosecute, NY, IL and CA all have Democrats in control, is CERTAIN if Trump is pardoned by Pence, NY IL and CA will rush to prosecute. About 100 years
To everybody in this thread. Many discuss the Pence angle (if pardons, can he pardon - yes he can - and what is the play by Trump etc)

I will discuss Pence in its own Tweet today, come join that discussion, cheers!
