>>As noted before, there is no such thing as a "high misdemeanor".

Of course there is. “High”, in that phrase, modifies both “crimes” and “misdemeanors”. This was a term used in English law of the era, and referred to a diverse list of crimes including treason, maladministration and prison breaks.

>>Abuse of office is a high crime. Pretty much by definition.

25 CFR § 11.448 - Abuse of office, defines it as a misdemeanor, but I don’t know whether that would be the requisite high misdemeanor.

However, nothing set out in the statute is anything Trump has been accused of doing or proved to have done.

I have no idea if that statute is even applicable, but is clearly refutes your claim.
