No, they were not removed and they were not punished.
No one spent a day in prison nor paid a fine.
Removal by itself is not punishment for criminal
offenses. It's a prudent necessary action to stop any
more criminality while in office.

Does the 25th Amendment's sanctioning criminal behavior
bother your sensitivities about justice being done
while similar behavior anywhere else in our society is
not tolerated by letting wrongdoers go free, nor is
pardoning criminals in prison unless evidence overturns
their sentences.
You might like to see Democrats beat up Capitol cops,
terrorize legislators, vandalize and steal, after their
candidate did everything illegal to become President,
charged with defrauding an election and inciting a riot,
and you'd been pleased as punch he'd not been brought to
court! EH? If it'd been Biden who'd lost the 2020 election.
Sure you would NOT. LOL! So, why is not Donnie in federal
court? Why did he not show up? 25th Amendment again backed
by a majority SCOTUS vote (6-3). You are just fine with
letting Donald go on with his madness and malevolence as
long as it doesn't hurt you or your family, badly affect
your investments and job.
And there you have it in the aggregate: the rich and elite
get off scot-free and even get reelected and do some more
illegal and immoral acts. And act like total arrogant dopes!
"Hey, let's remove Donald's portrait mug from the Hall, and
put up a plaque that states he's the worst POTUS ever!"
Yuk, yuk. It's all right, eh? We need to keep supporting
the childish hateful creep that keeps reminding everyone
he was cheated out of victory.
Horses' asses don't get any horsier.

It's your right-wing extremist dream of America under
Jesus! Just before God punishes all the Left and sucks you
up via Rapture to play harps with Jesus.
