'Payback': Republicans vow to impeach next Democratic president

Republicans are looking years beyond Wednesday’s impeachment vote against President Trump to warn Democrats that a president of their party will eventually face the same fate based on raw partisan politics.

“It’s a scam. It’s something that shouldn’t be allowed. And it’s a very bad thing for our country. And you’re trivializing impeachment. And I tell you what: Someday, there will be a Democrat president, and there will be a Republican House, and I suspect they’re going to remember it,” President Trump told reporters last week, claiming that Democrats were using impeachment for “absolutely nothing, other than to try and get political gain.”
