My bad. It wasn't in the article linked to in this thread. I have a habit of remembering things but not quite recalling where I remember them from. I was, of course, talking about Nixon. He was set for impeachment, and there was zero chance of NOT being both impeached AND convicted. But he resigned. And before the matter was pressed any farther to impeach him anyway, he was pardoned by Ford.
And the Russian meddling thing... no matter what you think about it, it was none of Trump's doing. Please let that ship sail already. What they DID do, is try to boost Trump's chances by releasing information that was damaging to the DNC. Yet all of you cry about Russian interference, as if knowing how shady the people you're voting for are, is a bad thing. It truly boggles my mind.
"U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded that Russia did not alter actual votes during the 2016 election."

To say Trump is 100% responsible for the actions of others, would be to say that several members of the DNC are at least partially responsible for this: "However, the violence by early June 2020 had resulted in two deaths, 604 arrests, and upwards of $500 million in property damage to 1,500 locations, making it the second-most destructive period of local unrest in United States history, after the 1992 Los Angeles Riots" <-- a statement which has at least 8 different references, so I'll not waste my time posting them all here.
At any rate, the chances of conviction are very slim. Time that should be spent fixing the damn health care system, among other things. If you're betting on a conviction, you're a fool. (and that statement is in no way my endorsement of Trump. I do believe he accomplished a lot of good things. I also believe that he's an asshat.)
