>> I'll leave you with this hypothetical: the Constitution requires two witnesses to treason for conviction. You are the only witness to a covert meet where you know for sure what happened. You also know that there can be no conviction without another witness. Would you not label the perpetrator a traitor, nonetheless?

I would, personally, but if the Constitution has a more stringent requirement I would recognize there was insufficient evidence for a conviction. I, were I in a position to do so, would have the exclusive responsibility to support conviction. No one else, under your hypothetical, would have that option.

As to Trump, I find it inconceivable that any of the claims against him should be upheld as worthy of impeachment. Something new that I'm not familiar with may come up, but from what I've seen there isn't a case to be made.

I just choose to be less political about it than many on the Left do. I'm not sure where you're coming from politically, but I can't find value in more intangible standards, for reasons I've previously explained.
