1. SDNY seeks to arrest and indict Trump.
2. White House sues claiming that a sitting President cannot be indicted.
3. Expedited appeals take it to the Supreme Court, where the justices agree with the White House.
4. The cries for impeachment begin, and the severity and credibility of the charges determine the outcome.

The cries for impeachment began 2 years ago. It's all white noise now. Imagine when a future president actually does something that is truly impeachable.

Of the three (probably about to be four) impeachments we've seen in this country, only one was motivated by the conduct of the President and not by political interests. And technically, Nixon was never even impeached. The articles had cleared the House Judiciary Committee and would have been passed the following day had he not agreed to resign.
