For the "crime" of not being a far right Republican and for the "crime" of Trump having been impeached twice. Those are the only "crimes" that these extremists care about. They also don't care that, even if they convince 50%+1 Representatives to vote to impeach, this will die in the Senate. They'll impeach Biden three times just so Trump isn't the most impeached President and they'll claim that their purely political impeachments somehow prove that the impeachments of Trump were purely political as well
Notably, Biden was not involved in either impeachment. Just as he's not involved in the current investigations (remember those special councils)? With the exception of the ones Garland is running, he has no influence... and garland is treating trump with ultimate kiddie gloves so far.
The Republicans don't care about that. They just want to make it so that impeachments become a "normal political thing that always happens" so they can pretend that Trump being impeached twice was just Democrats being political instead of Trump being a dangerous threat to our democracy.
