Won't be foolish for Democrats to impeach him, even if the Senate doesn't convict. They will do it if for no other reason than to add a Republican President to the list of impeached Presidents.
It all depends on Mueller. If his report shows that the Trump Tower meeting was illegal and he likely obstructed justice then the House really has no choice. Of course most of this will be circumstantial and he said/she said and likely without Trump’s sworn testimony. If so could the House supbpoena Trump to testify under oath to the assumed accusations in a Mueller report?
Anyway, if Mueller releases his findings before the summer we will see impeachment started in the House and likely squashed in the Senate before serious 2020 campaigning begins.

1) You are right that the House will have no choice if the Mueller report shows what it is GOING to show.
2) It though is NOT circumstantial. Circumstantial evidence is indirect evidence. Mueller will have tons of DIRECT evidence.
3) Also not really a he said/she said. It will be a he said, he said, he said, recording of him saying, bank records showing, and on and on. Even if it were Trump's word against just one other person, we have evidence that comes into play which in a court of law would have a jury decide who has more merit, and in this case, the House and the Senate will decide, AND perhaps later on a court of law.
4) Yes the House can subpoena Trump. He will fight it, but they can subpoena.
He is in large trouble...yes LARGE trouble.
Mueller is coming.
The clown is done.
