Which is even worse, as they were saying things in public that they knew not to be true (the dossier was known to be bogus misinformation right from the start, yet the demcorats invoked the We just don't like that guy clause and went ahead anyway).

I think you're confusing the Ukraine impeachment with the Steele Dossier. The impeachment centered on whether Trump misused his office - specifically by trying to freeze aid funds - in order to get the Ukrainian government to help him politically. The Steele Dossier predated those events by several years.

Which is why it will be made clear to all the members who aren't bright enough to do The Math that a 'no' vote on impeaching Mayorkas means that they will have taken the border off the table for their own elections in the fall of 2024.

So? Many GOP reps are from districts where the border really isn't going to be much an issue in their elections. Others will be perfectly capable of separating the issue of impeachment from criticisms of Biden border policy. And there's more than half a dozen GOP reps that are retiring from public office, who will be very very hard to whip on that vote. The GOP only has a two vote majority.
