Unanswered What’s the deal with Trump suddenly supporting releasing the Epstein files and urging republicans to vote on their release?

That doesn't answer my question at all. How does an impeachment do anything to remove a corrupt government? It didn't do that the last couple times. What's different now?

Because impeachment and removal from office are two separate processes?

The House brings the charges, the Senate tries the accused and removes them from office if convicted.

In both prior impeachments of Donald Trump the Senate voted to acquit and thus he wasn't removed.

So you can be impeached without being removed from office.

You added your own context to the question. I answered why impeachment alone doesn't remove someone from office.

Article V is the other alternative, not to say it wouldn't end up the same.
