Perhaps. Manafort's convictions are the most stunning yet, along with Cohen's guilty plea, but what the evidence points to from the six or seven Trump campaign officials who have either been convicted or pled guilty is pretty bad. Manafort and Cohen connect the dots from Trump directly to the Russians. Trump has already committed impeachable offenses, and the hush money is a slam dunk. There is a divide beginning to form between Republicans who are already underwater in polling data and those who seem willing to ignore everything. If the Mueller investigation concludes before the election, and most Republicans sit back and do nothing, then it will be. Looking at what has come out so far, though, I think when Mueller is done, there will be enough Republicans interested in preserving their own political hide to get an impeachment through both houses without much trouble.
