Even if you buy that argument, the impeachment was still for perjury (and it didn't result in a conviction, so maybe someone bought the argument, or more likely they just didn't want to go so far as to a actually kick out the sitting president), and in any case I'm not sure I'd buy the argument.

There's bias and then there's bias. Kind of like errors vs lies. The former is unconscious, not knowing, not deliberate, not malicious. That's not the same as being out to get someone, which is implied in recent charges of bias.

Its not implied in general by charging someone with bias, but yes it is often charged with some people's specific claims of bias. I'd say there is some of that too, but more of it is unconscious bias, or slightly conscious bias that they think they can overcome and be objective anyway (whether or not that's actually the case)

I have the quote "First they came for..." indelibly etched into my brain

That is part of what I'm talking about with exaggeration. The Nazi comparisons are too much IMO.
