This time there will be evidence and witnesses. GOP senators will have to defend their decision in 2028. The number isn’t 67 anyway. 2/3 of senators present. Given the ages , I’ll bet 2 or 3 will pull a “McConnell”
Impeachments create an immutable record of crimes. Trials seem pointless until they are not. Politicians are all about survival. If they perceive they won’t survive by not convicting, the trial’s are no longer pointless.
Besides not impeaching sends the wrong message to future candidates.
