Nailed it. Moral choices cannot be based solely on a preferred outcome. Given what we know about Trump's behaviour, it would have been unethical for the House not to impeach him.
Not to cast aspersions, but the argument, 'He shouldn't be impeached because he's not going to be convicted' is a rather Trumpian point of view - that everything is transactional.
