Broadly true that the USA political system, by design, is bad at punishing elite wrongdoing. The proper response isn't to throw your hands in air & say "whatta ya gonna do?" Proper response is to use available mechanisms to call attention to wrongdoing.https://twitter.com/bendreyfuss/status/1507198138603384854 …

Dreyfuss has no idea how or why anyone should push for anything to ever happen, and thinks that’s the ‘smart’ position

Lol, the only reason he was impeached over the "Ukraine call" was so that dems could act like it was the culmination of the Russiagate thing and not a totally separate issue and trick people into thinking it wasn't a total bust.
-
I think it was more about defending Joe Biden, who, at the time, was thought to be a shoe-in for the Presidential nominee. Having the Ukraine thing go unchallenged could have hurt him in the election.

What's the point of that public record, the press are letting republicans who voted against impeachment 1 criticize Biden's Ukraine policy with impunity.

Good point, though the first impeachment was important in creating a public record even if there was no subsequent invasion of Ukraine.

I gotta say, of all the things the first impeachment could’ve been about, I thought that the Ukraine call was pretty dumb. But turns out all roads lead back to Ukraine.

That said, hard to say that 1st impeachment succeeded. On several occasions, I’ve said it’s kinda funny that Trump got impeached for conditioning arms to Ukraine for dirt on Hunter Biden given the current situation—and gotten blank stares. Never really saturated the discourse.
