President Trump’s aides and allies have warned him in recent days that there’s a real chance he might be impeached, according to CNN.
CNN’s Jim Acosta reported on Monday night that aides have “cautioned him just in the last few days he faces the real likelihood of impeachment,” adding that others close to Trump are “divided” on the gravity of House Democrats’ impeachment efforts.
“(Some aides are) reassuring the president that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is just placating Democrats and won’t ultimately drive the process toward an impeachment vote,” Acosta said.

The tid-bit comes on the heels of a House Democrats’ subpoena of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and reports that the White House is largely unorganized in its impeachment defense, letting Trump run his own defense from his Twitter account.
Looks like the October Surprise is no surprise, the President is guilty!
“President Trump’s aides and allies have warned him in recent days that there’s a real chance he might be impeached…”
It’s hard to imagine why anyone would say that unless the only objective is to avoid Trump’s wrath and keep some semblance of peace in the WH.
Of course he’ll be impeached. There’s little doubt about it now.
The only question remaining is do we want to rush to impeachment soon so the Senate can have a trial and declare him not guilty by sometime in January, and then he can run for reelection with that threat gone, no more hearings, and mostly unscathed.
Or as this guy puts it:
Sounds like they’re managing a toddler who happens to be holding a gun.Some try the reassurance, others try the serious voice.
