re: SCOTUS isn’t going to mess with immunity

If a politician doesn't first have to be removed from office to lose immunity they wouldn't have included the "convicted party" wording.

It's a clarification of Double Jeopardy, basically. That's why only the "convicted party" side was discussed.

There are no words to justify this connectivity between impeachment and criminality, and plenty to distinguish the 2 concepts.
