Sure, but it makes a big difference for the impeachment proceedings. "On the day of the attack on the Capitol, he held a rally which directly called for violence" is probably impeachable. "His irresponsible rhetoric over a period of months caused a slow-burning radicalization among a small subset of his supporters which ultimately led to autonomously carried out attacks" most definitely isnt.
I was referring to the common argument from Democrats and liberal media journalists...
You are factually incorrect. You do not have to do anything illegal to be impeached or removed from office. There is a reason why the impeachment process is a political one, and not a legal proceeding, and it's because our leaders must be kept to a standard that is higher than the letter of the law.
