kidnapping the President of a sovereign nation thus violating more National and International Law.

What are the legitimate reasons for impeaching any administration, what does "high crimes and misdemeanors" mean?

...that we learn what compromat the Imbecilic Treasonous Pig holds over the Repuke Party members.

One has to wonder if Putin fed him all of the compromising info he needed to create this dictatorship.

Lindsey Graham, what say you? Being such a "good Christian", perhaps confessing your secrets may cleanse your soul.

That has enabled all the things you listed.

While they have allowed the current POTUS to shit on the rule of law;
Wipe his ass with the Constitution;
And use Speaker Johnson’s tongue as his personal bidet;
To now expect that they recognize that they are the third branch.

... mean nothing to these shitweasels. As I mentioned in an earlier post, to the Republicans, the Constitution and the rule of law are a means to control and punish those they do not like, not to be a hindrance to their malign intentions.
