you consider that evidence of his innocence?

You seem to immediately believe all presumptions that help the left, and immediately dismiss all
presumptions that help the right.

Can you cite any examples that don’t follow that pattern?

He’s not getting removed from office. No chance. And given the weak slate of democratic candidates currently running, there’s a good chance he gets re elected.

As rockhound said, we’re due for a recession, that usually marks
the end of the run for the party in power.

If Trump didn't withhold all information requested and refuse to let any witnesses testify, perhaps he would be able to rebut the testimony presented to date. He has been afforded that opportunity and did not use it.
Since he will not, I assume the evidence to date is not disprovable and he has no witnesses who would dispute it.
I have seen statements issued by members of his cabinet that seem to contradict testimony, go ahead and do it under oath.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

Never to stupid questions without a subpoena.

You'll just have to get your badge out.

So far anyone who has appeared before Congress, like DNI Maguire, has dodged when asked questions regarding this subject, I think they will continue hiding.

You may think this is over but Watergate took years.

Here is what Floridaman's cabinet and other co-conspirators are worried about

Just think Floridaman is the second president to be named as an un-indicted co-conspirator by a Grand Jury

John N. Mitchell – former United States Attorney General and director of Nixon's 1968 and 1972 election campaigns; faced a maximum of 30 years in prison and $42,000 in fines; on February 21, 1975, Mitchell was found guilty of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury and sentenced to two and a half to eight years in prison, which was later reduced to one to four years; Mitchell actually served 19 months.

H. R. Haldeman – White House chief of staff, considered the second most powerful man in the government during Nixon's first term; faced a maximum of 25 years in prison and $16,000 in fines; in 1975, he was convicted of conspiracy and obstruction of justice and received an 18-month prison sentence.

John Ehrlichman – former assistant to Nixon in charge of domestic affairs; faced a maximum of 25 years in prison and $40,000 in fines. Ehrlichman was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice, perjury and other charges; he served 18 months in prison.

Charles Colson – former White House counsel specializing in political affairs; plead nolo contendere on June 3, 1974 to one charge of obstruction of justice, having persuaded prosecution to change the charge from one of which he believed himself innocent to another of which he believed himself guilty, in order to testify freely;[8] he was sentenced to 1 to 3 years of prison and fined $5,000; Colson served seven months.

Gordon C. Strachan – White House aide to Haldeman; faced a maximum of 15 years in prison and $20,000 in fines. Charges against him were dropped before trial.

Robert Mardian – aide to Mitchell and counsel to the Committee to Re-elect the President in 1972; faced 5 years in prison and $5,000 in fines. His conviction was overturned on appeal.

Kenneth Parkinson – counsel for the Committee to Re-elect the President; faced 10 years in prison and $10,000 in fines. He was acquitted at trial. Although Parkinson was a lawyer, G. Gordon Liddy was in fact counsel for the Committee to Re-elect the President.
