Did you write all that for me?https://www.lawfareblog.com/must-impeachable-offenses-be-violations-criminal-code
Despite what Trump’s supporters say, however, the president can commit an impeachable high crime without violating the federal criminal law. To conclude otherwise would be to ignore the original meaning, purpose and history of the impeachment power; to subvert the constitutional design of a system of checks and balances; and to leave the nation unnecessarily vulnerable to abusive government officials.

Look under the column entitled "House Action/Charges". Lots of charges that were not defined federal/civil "crimes".

And Trump and his two affairs while married ... oh yeah, that's fine because the does "good things". Sure, go with that filtered thinking.
