Sorry. But YOU jumped to the conclusion that he's more corrupt than any other politician based upon a minority vote.
I don't know that he's "innocent" and have not stated as such. That's a blatant straw man on your part. I do know he was not convicted by the Texas Senate, NOR was he indicted by a Biden DOJ.
the impeachment passed 121 to 23. the majority of a republican house said he did it. you're calling it a minority by pointing at the senate, but the house impeaching him was the decisive majority action.
None of the Republicans in the house said he did anything. They voted to bring a charge. A charge is not a finding. A charge is an accusation.
The House voted, based on whistleblower testimony, to bring a charge and have a trial. Nothing more.
a republican house didn't have to bring the charge at all. the default for a party is to bury this kind of thing, quietly, and never let it reach a floor vote. instead a majority of them voted to publicly accuse one of their own and drag him into a trial. you can call that only an accusation. it's still an accusation his own side chose to make when looking away was the easier path.
and the impeachment was never the whole case. he was separately indicted on securities fraud back in 2015. his own senior deputies went to the fbi. those are independent of anything the house did.
You had a Speaker and his hit men with a vendetta that rushed the impeachment vote through in the closing minutes of a session with a ton of pressure that only the Speaker can exert, and with "facts" that were nothing more than hearsay, assertions, and third hand information. He misrepresented the truth to his caucus and then said trust me. Unfortunately, a lot of his Republican colleages got played for fools.
