This is not right at all.
The impeachment process is like a criminal investigation.
There's a report of a crime.
There's an investigation. People are interviewed under oath.
If it's determined a crime was committed and there's overwhelming evidence, they go to trial.
but to use your meme:
One day a neighbor of yours said, "Hey, I think that crazy guy down the street murdered his wife."
Then you talked to some of the other neighbors and they all said that "Yeah, he killed her."
You called the cops.
The cops came to investigate but before that could happen that guy came out on the porch and started shouting. "Yes, I did shoot at my wife. I'm an expert shooter. I always hit whatever target I'm aiming at. I'm one of the legendary aimers. If I did shoot her, and if I did shoot her, which I did, it would be the best most perfect shot anyone had ever seen. Everyone says that. And here's a transcript of the video I took while I shot my wife. But, right where it says 'Imma gonna kill you, bitch! blam blam blam!' is where you'll agree that she is still alive so there's no crime here. Not a crime to shoot someone and not kill them. That's not a crime. No, you can't talk to her right now. I'm not letting her talk to you because she's sleepy. So very very sleepy right now. No, you can't talk to anyone else who was in the room when I shot her. But they'd tell you that it was a perfect shot. I never miss."
But then the cops do investigate. And they find her body buried in a shallow grave with a note pinned to her chest with her husbands signature about how it's not illegal to bury someone in your own backyard.
Burying someone in your own backyard is not a crime. Also, it was a perfect grave. No one could have dug a better grave. No one.
Then the cops talk to other people who were in the room and they all agree that yeah, that guy did shoot his wife. And one guy said, "Yeah, I was on the phone with him and he said Hang On, I'm gonna shoot my wife." and I heard the gun shots. I had him on speaker phone at a restaurant and everyone could hear it."
Then the cops talk to the people who were at the table and they all agree that they heard the neighbor say that and it did sound like he'd murdered his wife.
And then the guys lawyer keeps butt dialing the cops and leaving voice records of about how he went and bought that gun and the bullets months ago so his client could murder his wife.
