If you can garner the votes in the legislature. If a majority of the house files charges, 2/3 of the senate has to vote in favor. The house seems likely, but it will be the drama of the century to get through the senate going ahead with it, etc.

In the current climate, unless a big group of Democrats in the house side with the Republicans on the charges, it can sloughed off as partisan BS.

We'd also probably need some pretty crazy info in those emails to warrant the sharpness of public invective necessary to have a clear political mandate to go through impeachment. It would have to include some of: large scale impact to national interests, beyond-the-pale vile political conspiracy, dick pics of Bill Clinton, or a clear statement of explicit, willfully avoiding public disclosure of the topic of discussion (of particular national interest).

I see the narrative being around "sour grapes losers" and "can't win, can't govern Republicans."

Maybe.... but do the Democrats really want a President that is constantly questioned in terms of her ethics?

Has Clinton's ethics ever not been constantly questioned?

I think the Democrats are prepared for that much, at least.
