Because that’s perfectly consistent with the traditions of American jurisprudence. Convict someone before they commit a crime.
If Schiff believed in the validity of the underlying charges, he wouldn’t be going to these absurd extremes. Obviously, not even Schiff believes in the charges.
It’s a farce.

You don't need to commit a crime to be impeached, look at Graham, Dershowitz and others statements from 1999 or you could read the Constitution.
That's why there is no penalty other than being removed from office and prevented from holding another position.
As far as why Floridaman should be removed, work backwards: The “check” on acting in a purely partisan way on matters of law is that your standard will apply to the other party. The only way you don’t care is if you believe the opposition will never hold power again. And to guarantee that, you NEED the foreign interference.
To continue, this assumes that the foreign interference will always work in your favor. What do you do to ensure that? You make sure and permit the money and the power of the U.S. to be used for the benefit of those countries who are willing to “help,” not based on what is truly in our nation’s interest.
This whole thing is setting up the corruption and reorienting of our institutions and processes for the sole purpose of maintaining power. That’s it.
