Trump was impeached.
Yeah, but he was also acquitted. Saying he was impeached is like going around and saying so and so was indicted when the trial is already over and they found them not guilty.
But perhaps Trump would not have been impeached in the first place if he had mounted a defense?
Since you are not American perhaps your ignorance should be forgiven. Perhaps...
In America you are considered INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty.
The dems job in the House was to present evidence that would convince a jury(The Senate), that beyond a reasonable doubt, POTUS Trump had committed High Crimes and Misdemeanors.
The FULL BURDEN in the United States of America is to prove a crime WAS Committed, NOT that a crime was NOT committed.
It is not complicated people, unless you are trying to intentionally obfuscate the truth.

I would imagine that statement comes as a direct response to Susan Rice's tongue lashing.

John Bolton rebuked for withholding Trump testimony in new public event www.theguardian.com...
Bolton, speaking alongside Susan Rice at a lecture series at Vanderbilt University, was taken to task by his co-speaker, who served as national security adviser under Barack Obama.
Rice criticized Bolton for refusing to testify before the House of Representatives during the impeachment hearings. It later emerged that Bolton has documented, in a forthcoming book, evidence regarding Trump and Ukraine that Democrats had sought him to provide on the record.
“I can’t imagine withholding my testimony with or without a subpoena,” Rice said at the Vanderbilt event
Funny how the same story can be accented in different ways.
I'll go for 'The Guardian's' take on it.

Don't think Rice is the right person to do that based on her past performance in the Obama Administration.

Perhaps I enjoy a challenge, think for myself, and am tenacious enough to and stay at it? Those sound like honourable things to me.
Tenacious enough to say New York City is Trump's base, and that NYC is not a Democrat haven.

You should also note that I tend not to reply with insults but I seem to receive many.
But no-one is kicking anyone, it is debate.
I do also get the occasional star or affirmative response.
