“If President Trump were still in office, I would have carefully considered whether the House managers proved their specific charge,” he said. “But in this case, that question is moot. Because former President Trump is constitutionally not eligible for conviction.”
That’s McConnell explaining that he didn’t vote for conviction, because Trump’s term was over at the time of the vote. Not because the case was “weak” – you can find video of McConnell speaking his agreement with the charge.
Impeachment is clearly impossible in this climate.
Maybe it is impossible unless the president does something actually bad. You are not going to like this, but I think a democrat president would not be ousted by their people, but a republican would.
You could argue he should have done more on Jan 6th and less riling people up, but those same things can be said about a lot of people. But no, I am not aware of him committing any crimes.
I disagree with your assessment here, but I think we’ve both made ourselves clear and neither of us is going to change our minds. I shall bid you good day.

Jan 6 was the president doing something bad. The Senate acknowledged this, but let him off because his time was up.
