Just wondering what it takes for a high-profile individual to be indicted in the U.S. It seems that nepotism in high office is OK, along with obtaining product patents or trademarks. An almost 2-year investigation into Trump's dealings with Russia afforded no evidence of collusion but offered instances of obstruction that were not further investigated. Trump illegally tried to get election help from a foreign government and was tried but exonerated by a partial jury. That in itself is unethical and illegal.

He witness tampered and took revenge on those that testified against him, illegal. He used illegal military force to break up a protest for a photo op. He tried to strong arm a secretary of state to find imaginary votes. He incited a riot in which police officers were murdered. He was again tried and acquitted by a partial jury.

Again, he intimidated witnesses and offered pardons to those acquitted, even those not yet arrested. He tried to orchestrate a coup on many levels. His taxes and personal business dealings seem rife with fraud. He has harassed and intimidated women. But, I guess he has not committed the ultimate crimes of jogging, having a medal block his rear-view mirror or not using a turn signal.
