when it was pointed out that impeachment would not remove him from office, they insisted that that didn't matter. He needed to be impeached just to make a statement.
And when Pelosi did skillfully mastermind an impeachment with the support of her full caucus, These folks who demanded that impeachment was a necessity were strangely silent... except to attack the Democrats for not producing enough evidence in the impeachment to get the Senate to remove him. Some of them actually seemed to resent that Pelosi did what they demanded, thereby removing an excuse for trashing her and the Democrats as weak enablers.
And now that the Democrats have won the White House back, that Democrats are weak and will NEVER impeach him crowd seem to have forgotten that the Democrats have indeed been very tough and aggressive - not only did they impeach, but they then went on to kick his butt in the election. And they also also seem to have conveniently forgotten how wrong they were in the past but expect the rest of us to accept their "Democrats are weak" schtick this time around.
