Kurt Eichenwald's Twitter thread about how Trump could cancel the election is keeping people up at night

Point by point:
Aided in election by Russia? (Illegal; campaign finance laws; obstruction)
Solicited help from Ukraine for 2020 election (Illegal; campaign finance laws)
Pressured Ukraine to help for 2020 election (Illegal; Foreign Corrupt Practices Act)
Incitement to violence during political rally’s (Illegal: the one where he told his followers to punch the heckler, and they did. It was specific and imminent)
Using position to siphon money from Government (Illegal; embezzlement & emoluments)

100% so far, though @Avery_Thorn skipped over violations of the Logan Act and Hatch Act in using a nongovernment person to negotiate with a foreign power (Giuliani with Ukraine).
