Spot on nailed it in the correct order

Wouldn't "abuse of power" also include failure to use it to defend against an attack on the nation... like a pandemic?

Trump made it OK to be anti-science and not believe anything he did not feed his followers. He fed them on hate and division.

And Mueller cited at least ten cases of obstruction of justice.

That he did.

That would be more sheer incompetence, I think.

Scholars are not the Constitution. Historians are not the Constitution. Expert worship. False authority fallacies.

Subverting the 2020 election

Done by Democrats, not Trump.

Inciting an insurrection

Democrats, not Trump.

abusing the bully pulpit

Not a crime no against the Constitution.

Politicizing the Justice Department

The Justice department is part of government. That makes it political at the outset. Not against the Constitution.

Obstructing the Mueller investigation

He is allowed to. See the 4th and 5th amendments and Article II. Congress has no power of subpoena. See Articles I and III.

Abusing the pardon power

Not possible. See Article II.

The Ukraine affair and cover-up

Democrats, specifically Joe Biden and son.

Loyalty oaths and personalizing government

Not against the Constitution. Every soldier agrees to a loyalty oath.

Firing whistleblowers and truth-tellers

Not against the Constitution. What 'whistleblowers' and 'truth tellers'? Democrats??????

Profiting off the presidency
...deleted Fake News...

The president is paid. That' profiting off the presidency. Oh, you can lump in Clinton, Bush, Obama, etc. with all that 'profiting off the presidency as well. Biden did it illegally with the Ukraine affair and the China affair. Clinton did it illegal by hiding campaign contributions and routing donations for personal use (not campaigning). See the horrors of the Clinton foundation.

[Into the Night]

That he did.

Mueller made all kinds of lies and fabrications. Unfortunately, you believed this idiot. The House is not justice. Neither is Mueller.
