Need input for blog I'm writing on impeachment

[Panich52]

Following is my quick draft of offenses Trump has committed that could be included in articles of impeachment. Please let me know if I've forgotten something. (That he's an asshole who never shoulda been sworn in unfortunately can't be included.)

•Emoluments
•Abuse of power (Illegally dictating trade policy, specifically tariffs, EOs to bypass Congress)
•Campaign finance violations
•Destroying docs in violation of law
•Virtually inciting race war & xenophobia
•Kidnapping
•Refusing asylum in violation of US & international law
•Promising pardons for land theft
•Obstruction of justice (in Russian interference investigation & in all other oversight attempts)
•Witness tampering
•Collaboration w/ Russia in interfering in election of 2016 (& possible attempts continuing by extortion of Ukraine to dig up, or make up, dirt on Hunter Biden)
•Consistent aid in Putin's efforts to discredit democratic rule by refusing to admit election interference, stealing military funds meant for European Defense Initiative, withholding aid to Ukraine
•Habit of divulging classified info (sub locations to Philippine dictator, info given us by Israel told to Russian officials [caused Intel to withdraw impt source close to Putin for fear of their life], images from Iran which possibly reveal sensitive intel methods [or more leaked intel Israel gave us] so he could tweet snarky sympathy to Iran)
Overuse of "acting directors" to avoid embarrassing confirmation hearings
•Pathological lying
•Alienating allies, frequently to curry favor with •Putin or other autocrats
•Falsifying official docs from NOAA
•Suborning violations of Hatch Act
Attempting to use position to prosecute not only political enemies but ex-govt employees who tell unpleasant truths about Trump (Comey, Clinton, Obama, McCabe)

12. Add bank fraud.

Whole bunch of loans from Deutsche Bank and Putin-linked oligarchs; false statements on loan applications to other banks he dealt with.

Logan Act violations (pre-inauguration contacts w/ Russia, that mysterious server connection w/ Alfa Bank & Moscow; Erik Prince's little confab in the Seychelles--there's so much there there.)

God, there is just so much crime in this f*cker's miserable existence, it's hard to sort it all out.

9. Maybe conspiracy to commit murder...

Without any news source providing a complete report, which left several unanswered questions, the alleged Epstein suicide quickly vanished from public attention.
