Pelosi Says Impeachment Inquiry Is All About Ukraine for Now
In a press conference held while the acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, was testifying before the House Intelligence Committee, Speaker Nancy Pelosi made it clearer than before that the impeachment inquiry she announced yesterday would for now, at least focus exclusively on the presidents dealings with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Indeed, she indicated that the House Intelligence Committee would have the primary responsibility for uncovering the facts that might or might not justify actual articles of impeachment (she was adamant that no decision had been made on the ultimate outcome of the inquiry).
Pelosi did hold open the possibility that previous examples of the presidents lawlessness could be the subject of impeachment articles if the House went in that direction, as many of those who supported impeachment before the Ukraine scandal broke into public view are insisting upon.

All in all, its obvious she wants to keep the heat on Trump & Co. for the Ukraine scandal, and play it as it lays as events unfold. Nothing shes said precludes a broader impeachment inquiry, but clearly, thats a decision she is determined to delay. - NY MAG

So for instance, if tRump were to threaten to kill whistleblowers and anyone else he determines is an enemy of the United States, that might also get added to the charges? Just thinking out loud.
