Talk of impeachment escalated dramatically in the past couple weeks though, after sentencing memos from prosecutors regarding former Trump lawyer and fixer Michael Cohen were filed. But again, criminal charges are a separate matter from impeachment. Conversely, impeachment charges can be brought for actions that aren’t illegal. President Richard Nixon resigned before he could be impeached, after the House Judiciary Committee had drawn up articles of impeachment. Those may well shift public opinion further toward impeachment and add even more options to the list of possible charges.
