A total of 417 former prosecutor and justice officials have written to the Attorney General and have claimed that, based on the evidence revealed in the Mueller Report, they would have charged Trump with Obstruction of Justice if he were not the President of the United States. Mueller himself said that he could not charge him because of a Department of Justice policy - it seems pretty clear that the case can be made out that the president committed a criminal act.
As noted here before, it doesn't matter. Mueller could not show that the Trump Campaign worked with the Russians to secure Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election, so the show is over. Obstruction of Justice is normally important, but these are not normal times, and that is not what the investigation was all about - no conspiracy = "nothing to see here." The Democrats may talk about impeachment - it means nothing.
Biden is ahead of Trump by about 10% in most public opinion polls. That is how Trump will be removed from office, to start his life as a defendant in many a criminal trial.
Note - Trump may have to reveal his tax returns soon.
If so, they will reveal that he was bankrupt in the early 1990's, then he staged a miraculous financial recovery by the end of the decade. I think observers will conclude that he must have received cash from someone to avoid total ruin....to avoid being a "loser".
Further, I think it will quickly become obvious that the support came from the Russians, who made a strategic investment in the 1990's and bought a powerful American as a wiling stooge.
In short, the release of his tax returns will mean showing that the man has been owned by Putin for 20 years.
