Conservative writer predicts first GOP lawmaker to back impeachment is also going to challenge Trump in 2020

On Saturday, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) became the first Republican congressman to publicly push for the impeachment of President Donald Trump.

But that may just be the first move from the conservative lawmaker against the Republican commander-in-chief.

For analysis, CNN anchor Ana Cabrera interviewed the Washington Examiner's Siraj Hasnmi.

"Is this the dam breaking with Republicans or is this someone who is thinking about a 2020 run?" Cabrera asked.

"I would agree that Justin Amash is thinking about a 2020 run.

The conservative did not think that Trump's obstruction of justice -- which was extensively documented in special counsel Robert Mueller's report -- meets the standard of high crimes and misdemeanors, leading him to conclude it must be about a potential crime.

"You have to think that there is the ulterior motive that Amash has, and that is running for president," he argued.
