I agree both should have been impeached but differ somewhat on rationale. Clinton because of perjury, don't really think an affair rises to the level. Trump for pushing a foreign country to investigate a political rival, not necessarily the act of withholding of aid which I believe, right or wrong, is done (or similar) all the time.
