The process of impeachment is made up of both phases, indictment and trial.

No, that is not true. If that were the case then there would have never been an impeachment that occurred in this country. Impeachment is the process the House employs to secure an indictment.

A person can be arrested and indicted numerous times for various crimes, and avoid conviction in every case. That person still has an arrest record for the rest of their life.

To equate the two, we have had 3 Presidents charged with "crimes", but none have ever been convicted. They all are considered as impeached for the rest of their lives. Just like someone who has been arrested and indicted, but never convicted, have arrest records that stay with them for their entire lives.

Again disagree.

You can say someone was arrested but it’s nothing without conviction. An arrest record without conviction is less than vapor.

You could be arrested a thousand times, but without conviction it is vacuous.

A mythical myopic law enforcement officer might say I’m arresting you for being arrested dozens of times, in fact the total number of charges in all those arrests number more than a hundred, therefore I’m arresting you for having been arrested multiple times.

Nonsense.

Without conviction, the arrest is nothing.

What do call a person who tells the truth 999 times?

You call them a 999 truth teller.

What do you call a person that tells the truth 999 times and then tells a lie on the 1000th time?

You call then a liar.

The nonsense continues that the arrested will be memorialized as having been arrested.

And that’s what the leftist loons will drink to, that Trump is an arrested President.
