But that was, at least partially [if not mostly], a choice from Trump and the Repubs that they wouldn't participate and just try to dismiss is all as political. In any event, it appears moot as there's no proof, and contradictory statements, that Trump requested the NG. It also doesn't really jive with Trump ignoring pleadings from his own staff, including Ivanka, to quickly issues a statement for the protestors to leave and go home.
Again, people presenting evidence for impeachment are likely not obligated and are not going to present evidence in favor of Trump.
I also don't think the riot was an "insurrection" or that Trump participated. I DO believe the impeachment was correct simply on the grounds that it was a dereliction of duty, and his denials and phony elector scheme also apply to that. The only way to believe otherwise is to think his actions were somehow justified [which is never the case, the remedies are through the courts where Trump went something like a staggering 0-59] because the election was stolen, despite no evidence of that.
