Sorry, that's ad hominem (name calling) but not a valid argument.
Is it civilly or criminally illegal for the standing president to do "sell the plate" fundraisers for PACs that aren't kickbacks?
Where is the current record of such receipts?

US Constitution > Article II > Section 4:
https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2/#article-2-section-4 https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/article-2/#ar...
> The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
Impeachment in the United States:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impeachment_in_the_United_Stat... :
> The Constitution limits grounds of impeachment to "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors", [2] but does not itself define "high crimes and misdemeanors".
Presumably, Bribery needn't be defined in the Constitution because such laws and rules are the business of the Legislative and the Judicial branches, and such rules apply to all people.
