If conviction after his term only prevents him from holding office again, why bother?

Seriously, it seems that conviction in that case only helps Mitch McConnell. Might be better to have Trump fighting with McConnell for control of the GOP than knocking him out of that contest. Is there a time as to when the impeachment has to be presented to the Senate? More and more it's looking like Trump will once again face no real consequences. Maybe the NY investigations will do something, but not likely jail time. Banking issues will likely penalize those in the bank that helped him, but not much more. The loans might bankrupt him again. Might. Sure, going to loose a lot of money and be dragged into a bunch of lawsuits. But I am feeling that he will never really face the kind of consequences he deserves. Our system is so broken.
