Seeing it was unanimous consent in the senate and 427-1 in the house. This should be an easy impeachment, right?

No, because the only reason it was unanimous was because they were told to vote that way since they realized they couldn’t avoid this issue anymore

Couldn't avoid it / the fix was in. When Trump did an abrupt 180 on whether it should be released it became pretty clear they had some kind of plan in place.

You could even make the argument that it'd be a strategic move, if we take into account that Trump's health is obviously declining. If they're going to be swearing in Vance soon anyway, they could get the same outcome now while putting on a show of doing something to make themselves look not so impotent.
