2. They complain because this lowers the bar for reasons and motivation to impeach The Cretin.

3. Great point, and explains why Napolitano glossed over "misdemeanors"

Contrary to his point about impeachment Constitutionally requiring a particularly high bar, it actually has a particularly low one. There are some good articles here about the reference to misdemeanors, making the point that high officials need to be held to higher standards, not low ones, so that even something that would not be grounds for criminal conviction could still be grounds for impeachment. Your point explains why Napolitano wanted to put forth the reverse. If people understood how little was required for impeachment, Trump would face more calls for it.

4. Napolitano's been falling off the same page at Fox a lot lately.

Couple days ago he made a good point about the Cohen tapes that, even if no crime has been committed, they can be used as evidence because attorney-client privilege doesn't hold if it's in the process of committing fraud.
