I hate how partisan this is. It's clear that more people are worried about their careers rather than setting a very risky precedent. Because they acquitted him, it's now a valid legal arguement that asking a foreign country to investigate a political rival, and withholding information and outright ordering government workers to resist a Congress subpoena are not impeachable offenses.

I agree that the part of the Constitution that addresses impeachment is very much up to interpretation. "Other high crimes and misdemeanors" is so open-ended, it's difficult to build a case around that.

Very interesting to witness the live reaction from the media.
