Can’t keep track of Trump’s impeachable offenses? One Twitter user provided a handy list
The vast extent of Donald Trump’s corruption, extortion, and abuse of power — among his numerous other crimes — often makes it difficult to keep track of all of the offenses for which he can rightfully be impeached.
Luckily, one Twitter denizen, Andrew Wortman, went to the trouble of making a well-researched thread that compiles 100 of those offenses into one handy thread for your reference in case you run into any clueless supporter of the president who questions the legitimacy of the House Democrats impeachment inquiry.
Here we present the first 50 items on his meticulously annotated list and strongly urge you to visit his Twitter feed to view the rest of the reasons he’s compiled.
Thanks go out to Andrew Wortman, a self-described “proud gay man, civil-rights champion & outspoken badboy of #TheResistance,” who has vowed to continue to document Trump’s impeachable offenses until “he’s gone.” We can expect the list to extend even further as the Trump administration continues.

Sadly, this list still barely scratches the surface of the crimes that Donald Trump has committed since taking office. House Democrats are obligated to begin impeachment proceedings against this corrupt lawless President.#ImpeachDonaldTrump

Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#12.) Trump Refuses to Defend the United States. He won’t take action to protect our elections from foreign attacks, because he finds it politically and personally unpalatable. This is a violation of his oath of office. https://t.co/Ym05QW5wGB
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) April 24, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:

Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#16.) Trump announced that he will categorically ignore ALL SUBPOENAS issued by Congress for witnesses or documents. He won’t evaluate them. He’ll IGNORE THEM ALL. That is Contempt of Congress and it was the 3rd Article of Impeachment against Nixon. pic.twitter.com/dFjR5YqKWF

Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#18.) Trump has sparked a surge of white supremacist terrorism with his hateful rhetoric that glorifies Nazis and demonizes immigrants, Muslims, blacks, Jews, gays & every other marginalized group. He does this DELIBERATELY. https://t.co/VnG9YMrMUF
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) April 28, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#20.) Trump has been mentally unfit for office since Day 1. A new report by psychiatrists shows how the Mueller Report establishes new details into his utter inability to process risks or act in the interests of the nation. https://t.co/kG8fAF94vH
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) April 29, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#22.) Trump installed Bill Barr as AG solely to protect him from the findings of the Mueller Investigation. Barr has now committed perjury as well as obstruction and may have even shut down the investigation prematurely. https://t.co/kr2wqy2CjG
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 2, 2019
#24.) Trump initiated a call with Putin, in which he spoke to him for an hour and a half, and not only didn’t bring up his attack on our election, but discussed details of the investigation including whether or not McGahn would be allowed to testify. https://t.co/cUBzheKfRn

Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#26.) Trump isn’t just doing nothing to secure our elections; he’s actively discouraging the @FBI and other agencies from protecting us from Russian attacks in 2020 by threatening investigation into THEM. This is treason. https://t.co/vZqurQ3rUR
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 5, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#28.) Trump’s Treasury Secretary has refused to comply with Congressional requests to turn over Trump’s tax returns saying there is no “legislative purpose” for doing so. The law is clear. They “shall be produced.” Mnuchin is violating the law. pic.twitter.com/TlpsA0uCpE
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 7, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#30.) Trump has been quietly revoking Press passes for reporters; barring access to the WH Press pool for media members who have been reporting on the WH for years or even decades. This is a blatant 1st Amendment violation. https://t.co/bq7sYgfXHk
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 9, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#32.) The day after the release of the Mueller report, Trump asked McGahn say that he didn’t believe his push to dismiss the special counsel constituted a crime. This is obstruction of justice and FELONY WITNESS TAMPERING. https://t.co/KpnvFJM62Q
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 10, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#34.) Trump and Stephen Miller wanted to stage highly public mass arrests of undocumented immigrants and their children in 10 American cities. This is obscene and unconstitutional.
https://t.co/i7Mzil0pOS— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 14, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#36.) Trump continues his unconstitutional abuse of the pardon power by handing them out to political cronies & far right reactionaries who have curried favor with him. His most recent pardon of Conrad Black is no exception. https://t.co/IBrlC2TzOy
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 16, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#38.) Mike Flynn, Trump’s former National Security Advisor, told investigators that people linked to the Trump administration and Congress reached out to him in an effort to interfere in the Russia probe. This is obstruction. https://t.co/1r4WcFnZAx
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 16, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#40.) Trump told McGahn to ignore House subpoena for him to testify. McGahn is a private citizen, executive privilege was waived, and there is no legal argument to keep him from testifying. This is simply more obstruction.https://t.co/w8Q8OnQShy
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 20, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#42.) The Trump Administration is denying homeless transgender individuals access to community shelters. These are vital services for people who are more prone to housing and vocational discrimination than any other group.https://t.co/UG8Noh4GFf
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 23, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#44.) Trump has urged the head of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to award a border wall contract to a construction firm run by a GOP donor. Steering federal contracts to political supporters is against the law.https://t.co/hRmrPkyVPF
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 24, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#46.) Trump betrayed his oath of office again by tweeting praise for the dangerous actions of North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un—the dictator of one of our most dangerous geopolitical
adversaries who has murdered American citizens—while attacking Joe Biden. pic.twitter.com/TRxfWhQR89— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 26, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#48.) Trump has authorized Barr to go after members of our intelligence community who took part in the Russia investigation. Using the DOJ to ‘investigate the investigators’ is dangerous, harms nat’l security & is impeachable https://t.co/dzXtx9IxDD
— Andrew Wortman (@AmoneyResists) May 26, 2019
Trump’s Impeachable Offenses:
#50.) Trump finally admitted that Russia “helped him get elected.” Yet he refuses to hold them accountable for interfering and capitulates to Putin on absolutely everything. Trump knows he was not legitimately elected.https://t.co/ZiEWEHOfFo
