1. When they wake up to the reality that there is no way out of Iran with him in the WH.

I don't know how long they'll be able to keep there fingers in their ears and sing "la la la" to enable them to hang onto the fantasy that the criminal war on Iran will magically end "any day now" and all will just "snap back" to some tolerable trumpian business as usual.

But sooner or later, more of them will get that there NO WAY OUT of the global and domestic chaos and escalating harms of his criminal war on Iran as long as he is in the White House.

The felon is incapable of sucking up the humiliating "deal" required

He knows that the only way out would paint a giant L for Loser on his forehead.

And he is constitutionally incapable of accepting a loss.

It may be that a few wake up before the mid-terms, but my guess is that it will take a combination of a mid-term rout and the grim one-year anniversary of his criminal and monumentally insane attack on Iran for enough of them to face reality. And that reality is that the crisis isn't Iran, the Crisis is Trump and his inability to take the loss -- his inability to suck up the humiliation of re-committing to Obama's treaty, shoveling 10x the amount of money at them that Obama did, and making a disastrous concession on the law of the sea to allow an "environmental fee" (i.e. toll).

He gets immediately impeached. No need for a show trial. Let Republicans own his crimes and vote to let him skip Justice a third time,

... a year from now enough Republicans finally wake up and realize that there is no way out as long as he is in the WH. Any resolutions will be vetoed. Perhaps enough will have had it to override, but perhaps not.

At that point, it will also be clear that the level of global and domestic chaos and escalating harms from his criminal Iran debacle are utterly unsustainable.

If enough republicans "get" this reality, we'll see a succession of them tramping up to the WH and giving him a choice: Resign for health reasons to save face or you WILL be impeached and removed -- there are enough of us now.

Then J.D. will make the humiliating deal.

And who knows? Perhaps he'll be so pissed at the felon for putting him in that position that he releases the Epstein files without the Trump redactions.

Justice matters.
