Putin hates to see democracy succeed as intended. He likes for Western democracies to fail and be rife with disasters, chaos, corruption and scenes like we had on Wednesday. Why? So can hold up the United States as an example to unhappy Russian citizens and proclaim, "See, what we have here is better than what the US has... Democracy doesn't work." And here we have an example of the President being punished for doing wrong. That is the exact example Putin doesn't want Russian citizens to see, because it might give them ideas. It might send them out into the streets to say, "We want a mechanism like the US has to hold Putin responsible for creating a hell on earth."

Remember, Putin just signed into law a decree that he is immune from any and all prosecution for any and all crimes for the rest of his life.

Impeachment is the opposite of that (at least symbolically).
