In the case of Ukraine, it is extortion, "I'll give you X, if you give me Y". Since impeachment is a political process, not a legal one, it was entirely appropriate.So clearly it is about interpretation. Trump didn’t tell Zelensky that he wouldn’t give them aid if they didn’t investigate Hunter. He asked him to do so. There is no crime in that. None.
Trump never told people to physically and violently attempt to disrupt Congress and most certainly didn’t tell them to try to overthrow the government.
January 6th?...clearly, there were many things that went on that day that he can be held accountable for. And my guess is, one day, he will be. Trump's MO is
that he never says anything or encourages people to do things directly. It's always implied. I would have thought if you paid attention to the a lot of the J6 trials,
you would have picked up on that. As far as the election went, he was telegraphing six months in advance if he lost it was because of fraud. His speech at the Elipse
implied he wanted his followers to march to the Capitol and overturn the results of the election....and that is EXACTLY what his followers heard that day.
Bottom line here is that both impeachments were warranted.
