California (California!) Democratic congresswoman says House could impeach Donald Trump AGAIN if he's re-elected and Republicans lose Senate control

UK Daily Mail  "Democratic Congresswoman Karen Bass said members of her party could take another shot at impeaching Donald Trump if he's re-elected and they win control of the Senate in next year's election.
"The Democratic-controlled House is expected to approve next week two articles of impeachment against the president but Trump is expected to survive his trial in the Republican-controlled Senate.
"Bass was asked if Democrats would take another stab at the president should the Senate come under their power after the 2020 contest, assuming Trump won re-election." . . .

"Levin asked her: 'Suppose he gets reelected and you're right and you win back the Senate in a big way. If you did that, would you be inclined to take a second bite at the apple and reintroduce the exact same impeachment articles and then send it through again a second if you have a Democratic Senate on your side?'
" 'So, you know, yes, but I don't think it would be exactly the same and here's why,' Bass replied. 'Because even though we are impeaching him now, there's still a number of court cases, there's a ton of information that could come forward. For example, we could get his bank records and find out that he's owned 100 percent by the Russians.' " . . .

After all, the odds are in their favor because “he probably has other examples of criminal behavior.”
