First, impeachment is a political process, not a legal one. He was proven to have committed extortion and bribery by the House prosecutors in the first impeachment, and his defense was he was allowed to do it, not that he didn't do it. That to me screams "above the law", because what he was proven to have done was extort a bribe, and that is in fact an enumerated impeachable offense. You can't square that circle without using his party affiliation to elevate him above that clause of the Constitution. If he were a Democrat he would have been impeached and removed, but then again he would never have been elected as a Democrat. As for the law, the legal process did not fully play out. We were promised courts would be the appropriate venue by McConnell when he voted to acquit despite saying that the evidence shows he is guilty. That's not really an acquittal in the way you're trying to portray because the only reason the acquittal happened was because McConnell felt the case deserved to be tried in court, not in the Senate. But where is that trial? It was curtailed due to Trump's election as POTUS, and it was stymied by people he appointed to the court. So how are you going to talk about the rule of law, when justice has been denied to the American people for the crimes committed against us? Where is our trial? It was cancelled because... what's that? He's above the law until he's actually demonstrably bound by it. So far that demonstration has been elusive. What I want is a trial, with evidence, a judge, and a jury. That's not mob rule.
