That's how Russia got its hooks into him from the start, and its driven all of his decisions since that point.

It's ok to charge obstruction and perjury, but I really want to see conspiracy to defraud the united states as the core charges.

It was never proved that Nixon planned, approved or knew about the Watergate break-in beforehand. They got him on the cover-up. Even if Mueller has insufficient evidence that Spanky was directly involved in the Russian election interference, there’s a shit ton of evidence that he tried to cover up his campaign’s involvement and impede the investigation of it.

Obstruction of Justice, because I believe Trump already convicted himself on that with his big mouth.
I sure hope he is tied into this whole Russian intrusion, no "attack" is the better word. Russia attacked our nation. I believe he committed treason. We will just have to see if enough evidence was found.
Campaign violations, lord knows there was a slew of them.

Does anyone think there is a chance Mueller's Report will have enough evidence to get Trump out before the 2020 elections?

I also think he committed treason and a host of other crimes. I don't see how he remains in office because he makes the mad King George look sane

To them, it's just a process crime. I think we are going to need to find the underlying crime to move anyone.

Did the Trump campaign collude with Russia to help Trump and harm Hillary?

For God's sake, we already know the answer to that question. We're just waiting for Mueller to corroborate.
