Can't speak for others, but I don't see them as dueling.
1) No president is protected from being impeached. That's the law that governs Trump in this instance, and he's not above it, no matter what Barr or anyone else says.
2) AFAIK, SCOTUS has never ruled on what the phrase "high crimes and misdemeanors" means in legal terms. We do have a lot of opinions about i. But it has generally not been taken to mean that the president must be convicted in a court of law for a crime in order to be impeached. In fact, if you stop to think how charging, trying, and convicting a sitting president would actually play out, it becomes clear that impeachment should in fact 'come first'.
But youre still dancing around the fact that crimes, laws, etc, are all clearly defined written offenses.
In this case what the President did fell short of that so the articles consist of non crimes.
You might as well say he can be impeached because he looks funny or talks too loud.
I get your point about not being convicted in a court of law but the offenses still have to be well defined crimes that he could be charged with.
Otherwise its a witch hunt.

No, I'm not dancing around it.
I repeat - a president doesn't have to be accused of a crime in order to be impeached.
Yes, the whole thinking world sees it, except our DemocRATS, vermin that they are, and I mean Leadership AND Rank and File. You are all pestilence, and there is no other conclusion to be made.
You aren't Patriots, you aren't true Americans, you are just vermin, and you know it.
Sorry, you had better look at your hateful views and your corrupt party. TAKE OFF THE BLINDERS.
I took the memes from hearing them repeated the day every rep had 1-2 min for closing arguments.
No context is available or necesary and I dont think anyone has questioned that they said it.
Remember so much of politics now is about creating soundbites that politicians hope the networks play over and over to pound in their message, and memes shouldnt require context.
Sounds like you want context to backpedal from the memes.
