The incoming chairs of two powerful House committees have predicted a "real prospect of jail time" for President Donald Trump, and said that new accusations about Michael Cohen's illegal hush payments are "impeachable offenses."

Rep. Adam Schiff, the incoming chair of the House Intelligence Committee, told the CBS show "Face the Nation" on Sunday: "There's a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time.

"We have been discussing the issue of pardons that the president may offer to people or dangle in front of people. The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump."

Schiff was responding to the latest sentencing document from federal prosecutors on Friday, which said that longtime Trump lawyer and confidant Michael Cohen "acted in coordination with and at the direction of Individual-1."

1. This is trumps worse nightmare now

And he knows the Senate will be flipped and coming after him too in 2020. Don't count on him really running, if he doesn't resign before then, but its all another trump scam for campaign funding he can funnel to use for his legal fee's , and his bills, not for being re-elected/

2. Never thought about that

If democrats get control of the Senate in 2020 and retain it in the House, Trump is finished.

The criminal/traitor should take the easy way out and just resign and retire in Russia.

3. Keep in mind, even if Dems get the majority in the Senate in 2020

they will still be a long way off from the 67 votes required to remove trump.

4. Ohh

right.

Well Individual 1 should still resign because the dem Congress would stop any MAGA BS legislation he would try to pull.

5. IF they can get the votes.
