Nancy Pelosi has gone on record saying it is not an "outright" impeachment.
They have zero subpoena power unless they take a vote and
The House passes impeachment.

Alexander Downer will have to make a decision..
a) stick with the Clintons and the deep state and risk the ire of the US global hierarchy punishing Australia
or
b) give the finger to Clinton and the deep state, reveal all, get in the good books with the US leadership (who still have 5-6years remaining in power) and hopefully rebuild trust with the AUS Taxpayer..
Downers a weasel, he'll take option B
Trump, Durham and Barr need to prove that they have Brennan, Clinton, Comey, Strzok, Mccabe and Ohr practically in cuffs. No one will help unless they're assured those 5 have no ability to inflict revenge or oust them.

yeah good luck with that article goes on to say
The Congress that may impeach Trump also is operating in a far different world than that of his besieged predecessors. Congressā approval rating stood at 35% during the Nixon resignation year and was at 42% during the Clinton impeachment, according to Gallup polling. Those figures are Himalayan compared with congressional approval today. The Congress that may impeach Trump has an approval rating of 18%.
so yeah i expect at worst a repeat of the clinton impeachment attempt and the fall out that comes with it
Nixon never was impeached; he resigned in August 1974 as he faced certain impeachment in the House and likely conviction in the Senate. Clinton was impeached but survived a Senate trial in 1999. Even if Trump is impeached, he is unlikely to be forced from office given the difficulty of achieving a two-thirds majority in a Senate controlled by Republicans.
and hey wall street isnt too worried about impeachment but a bit worried about the new nafta deal being passed but even pelosi is on board with that one
Senate Democrats representing red states are worried the House impeachment process may spin out of control and destroy any chance their party might have of winning back the majority next year. These Democrats hope the House keeps its impeachment focus on the Ukraine controversy, and that Democrats act relatively quickly. If they do not, the red-state Democrats warn President Trump could turn the tables on them.
this plus the new impeachment inquiry into kavanaugh has us unified and pissed throw in not much passing in the halls of congress (18 percent approval remember?) and the base is motivated donating in record numbers and getting the old base fired up for a hopefully a repeat of 2016 election
When āthe Republicans chose to impeach Bill Clinton, they were headed for a 40-seat win in that midterm election and the Democrats ended up winning five seats,ā Clifton recalled. āSo impeachment actually hurt the Republicans 20 years ago and thatās the risk the Democrats are taking by entering this fight.ā Gardner noted Trumpās uncanny ability to leverage political drama and said the recent news likely hurts Bidenās odds of securing the Democratic presidential nomination. āMr. Trump has a unique ability to manipulate these kinds of situations to his advantage and if the House moves to impeach him we think it could backfire on Democrats and help Mr. Trumpās reelection prospects. Democrats could easily overplay their hand and create a backlash that will unite Republicans,ā Gardner wrote.
