Don Surber has an excellent compare/contrast with other Presidents in history:

DC knew Biden would botch Afghanistan
All of Washington wanted to get rid of the president. On this Republican and Democrat leaders agreed. They whipped up a fake scandal, greased the skids for an impeachment, and got the press to convince the public the president must be replaced.

I could be talking about Nixon/Ford or Trump/Biden.
It is the same deal.
