1. On Feb. 14, the New York Times reported that some Trump campaign members were in constant contact with Russian intelligence officials prior to the 2016 election, per intercepted calls and phone records.

The information came less than a day after President Trump’s now-former national security advisor, Gen. Mike Flynn, resigned after speaking with a Russian official regarding sanctions and then subsequently misled Vice President Mike Pence about those talks.
2. Earlier this morning, President Trump took to Twitter to dispel the information, calling it a “conspiracy” by “fake news media.”
The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred. @MSNBC & @CNN are unwatchable. @foxandfriends is great!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump)
3. The president also tweeted that the news was an “attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign.”
This Russian connection non-sense is merely an attempt to cover-up the many mistakes made in Hillary Clinton’s losing campaign.

4. As it usually goes with situations like these, Twitter users flipped the heavy news on its head. That’s when #TrumpImpeachmentParty started trending.

It should be noted that the hashtag has trended before, but to a lesser extent. After last night’s news broke, it went really viral.
5. People tweeted about “getting ready” for said hypothetical party.
