I'm right tho. The crux of the special counsel investigation was the President cannot be charged with a crime. Ergo impeachment isn't a criminal proceeding.
Your argument is a bird.

It isn't a criminal proceeding but the basis for impeachment has always been on the idea that a crime needs to be committed because otherwise it is just hearsay. If your argument is that you don't need a crime to impeach a President then I'd like to hear your theory on Trump vs the crimes committed by previous sitting Presidents and why Trumps case is inherently worse by evidence vs some of the atrocities in the past. Then you will need to lay out what precedent needs to be set for impeaching a President without a crime. What constitutes impeaching a sitting President? That seems to be the issue at hand here.
