Yes, they seem to be working on it. It's not going to happen, because even when Trump's crimes are revealed, Republicans are not going to support impeachment. Unlike the time of Nixon. Republicans have lost their moral compass.

So what are they supposed to impeach Trump on? Please tell me the high crimes or misdemeanors that he has committed.

Right now, he could be impeached for violation of the emoluments clause of the Constitution.

You realize that high crimes and misdemeanors are not defined in the Constitution. Google high crimes and misdemeanors when applied to impeachment and you will find some interesting discussions. A misdemeanor is not a felony in criminal law but what does it mean when applied to a President? A high crime as defined by the congress in 1790 is a crime against the United States but that is determined by Congress in the articles of impeachment.
Thus, the impeachment process is purely subjective witness the Clinton proceedings. BTW the Clinton investigation went from 1992 to 1998. If you recall, it started with Whitewater and ended with a blow job! That is why the Senate did not impeach Clinton. In fact, no President has been removed from office via the impeachment process.

Seems like you'd be pissing up a rope. Have fun with that.

The demos still trying to find way to impeach POTUS.
The Dems have nothing to do with it, all investigations are headed by R's. Mueller has not released the results of his investigation because it isn't finished.
This post seems to be a bit premature.

Trying to enforce the emoluments clause through legal means would not work, because it is not law. It is a prohibition, however, that can be used as grounds for impeachment.
Since I am not a Congressman, the only fun I would have is watching Trump be impeached.
But I did not say it was likely, just reasonable.

If you are worried about the emoluments clause, couldn't Obama have been impeached for signing a book deal for half-a-million Dollars after he had won the election? Where was the emoluments crowd when Hillary Clinton raked in hundreds of millions of dollars from foreigners and foreign countries for her foundation while in office?

The book deal was not a foreign contribution.
The foundation is not owned by Clinton for profit.
The emoluments clause restricts obtaining funds from foreign entities.
So no, I was not worried about the emoluments clause with Obama or Clinton.
Trump, however, appears to be doing exactly what the emoluments clause was intending to prevent. He got a loan guarantee from China for a project in Indonesia, and his quid pro quo is to try to remove sanctions from a Chinese telecom company so thay can continue to violate sanctions against Iran and North Korea as well as spy on the US. The stink from that deal is so bad, you can smell it from across the Pacific ocean.
