When accountability for them?

Because Dems did not let them get away with bullshit, and there were consequences.

A case can be built that a vote to acquit in light of this direct evidence of an insurrection constitutes aiding and abetting an insurrection. They must be held accountable as well. Time for hardball Dems!

Jill Wine-Banks lived the day to day ins and outs of Nixon‘a impeachment but the Republicans had a rudder then. Facts and the truth made them take notice and it was not acceptable to use the Senators as cover up men when you conspire to assault the Capitol because you lost.

And back then even the Richard Nixon had to admit his error, which Trump is incapable of

Oh- completely different landscape. I truly believe that most of Trump’s power was made possible by Fox, Twitter and FB. Nixon did not have that luxury and there was only a few news stations on TV or radio.
