There's always going to be back table deals and things done behind the backs of the American people. Most people accept that and as long as there is a need for power this will continue. It's like you have a bunch of bank robbers all in one room and then they get mad at the new guy for doing the same thing they've all done. This is a waste of time and money.
I think that's a cynical way to look at it.
like i worked with convicts, i accepted that 50% of them will return to prison within a few years. i accept that they will use drugs, commit crimes, fail to get steady employment. all of that at a high rate. but if i caught them slipping i didn't say "well, that's fine, you're just living up to the statistics that i already know", i pushed them to not be a statistic.
when we catch people being corrupt we should punish them. in the case of trump his punishment is impeachment, not removal. and as you think this will guarantee he wins in 2020 it's not in your opinion a punishment anyways. he already had his entire life exposed in 2016, ex wives, old allegations, entertainment tonight hot mic videos, etc. what's a single phone call compared to all that?
