The Senate would not have convicted her but her presidency would be neutered.

Heck, it would have been a huge scandal if Hillary had had 1/4 the turnover that the Trump administration has had.

Now: Many people on DU say that the election of Trump was illegitimate because of Russian interference and/or Comey malfeasance.
Alternate universe: Many people on FR would say that the election of Clinton was illegitimate because of widespread illegal immigrant voting and/or Deep State connivance.

Now: Many people on FR say that the imprisonment of the campaign manager without trial was a gross injustice and indicative of a conspiracy against the President.
Alternate universe: Many people on DU would say that the imprisonment of the campaign manager without trial was a gross injustice and indicative of a conspiracy against the President.

In Congress, I'm not sure that the House would have voted impeachment. Some of the Republicans in swing districts would remember the backlash from the impeachment of Bill Clinton. They would know that impeachment would go nowhere in the Senate, so they'd be sticking their necks out for no practical result. I think that endless Congressional investigations of this, that, and the other would be more likely.

If, in a different alternate universe, Trump were still President but the Democrats had a majority in either house of Congress, then there would be endless Congressional investigations of this, that, and the other.
