Are you serious? First of all, you can get a criminal conviction with only circumstantial evidence if a jury decides it doesn't have reasonable doubt. But more importantly, the question is impeachment, not a prosecution. There aren't going be criminal charges and no judge is going to hear the case. The Congress is going to gather a lot of evidence, and then each Member is going to have to decide how to vote. No judge or statute tells Congress how to do that. It is, as you already said, a political question.
