I would argue that I am certainly not naive on this matter. To secure a criminal indictment would require that witnesses, along with physical evidence, are given to a jury of peers. To do so against a sitting president would be unheard of, and as a result would likely have a significant amount checks put in place — never mind vetting of political ideologies — of those jurors.
The current precedent suggests that if Trump were to have articles drafted against him by the House Judiciary Committee simply on the basis of lying under oath, or giving false testimony in a deposition, that he would not get impeached for it. Even if Democrats won more houses, or even took both the House and Senate, the majorities needed would be too steep.
I’m not going to delve into Flynn, Libby, or any other person, their perceived, actual, or inferred crimes — as they aren’t relevant here.
