Here's the problem though. We had just exited an investigation that spanned more than a year focused on whether Trump had worked with Russians to obtain election help, and just ONE day after Mueller had testified about that investigation Trump is on the phone soliciting election help from a foreign power ... and using US taxpayer money to do it. The "it's not an impeachable offense" argument is really based on Trump's incompetence and inexperience (he's a real estate dealmaker, inexperienced, etc), but that rings hollow here given the subject of the Mueller investigation.
I’m not saying I would agree with it. I’m saying I can at least respect that as an opinion that someone could come to honestly.
There is just less and less room for informed, credible, honest disagreement over what actually happened and “nothing” came off the table when the transcript was released.
What the remedy should be is always somewhat subjective even if, like you, I find the fact that he was, at best, warned of the severity of soliciting foreign interference and, at worst, a recidivist, to be compelling support for removal.
