I can understand the "do us a favor" being impeachable but I was thinking of what crime can he be tagged with.
Looks like Criminal Solicitation ...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solicitation
Unlike conspiracy, there is no overt step necessary for solicitation, one person can be a defendant and it merges with the substantive crime.
It is not necessary that the person commit the crime, nor is it necessary that the person solicited be willing or able to commit the crime (such as if the "solicitee" were an undercover police officer).
For example, if Alice commands Bob to assault Charlie, and Alice intends for Bob to assault Charlie, then Alice is guilty of solicitation. However, if Alice commands Bob to assault Charlie without intending that a crime be committed (perhaps believing that Charlie has given consent), then there is no solicitation.
In this case Red Don solicited the collusion and interference in the 2020 election ... something he KNEW was a crime.
What say you?
