Isn't the purpose of impeachment to be removed involuntarily from office?

Control congress, nothing will be done. We have to get used to it. The media is afraid to go after Trump and his gang the way they should.

The Republican Party doesn't care though and most of their voters are getting completely different news than the rest of us.

They didn't mention Russia in their letters. Technically, they have an out. Of course it's a ruse. Trumpy ALWAYS LIES.

Impeachment is always a mere matter of will. Nothing objective is required (high crimes and misdemeanors is a judgement call). To impeach, only the will of the House is required to indict and the will of the Senate is required to convict.
