It's cute how you think I'm American. Wrong and ignorant, but cute.

And, in this case, they have plenty. Trump spent two months fomenting a conspiracy theory that the election was rigged, despite being unable to turn up any evidence of it and going roughly 0-for-60 in his court cases. There's no dearth of evidence that he wanted to maintain his hold on power by any means necessary, even going so far as to advise the vice-president to illegally refuse to certify the votes, something he did not have constitutional authority to do.
The_Pup posted... However impeachment trials are not criminal trials and are not held to the standard of typical courts.
And this is, of course, the other issue at play. Something is impeachable if congress says it is - it's a political question, not a criminal one. Even if you think reasonable doubt exists, political officials can (and should) be held to a higher standard.
