If Trump is found guilty of propping up Saudi Royalty for oil and scores of condo purchases...

He's guilty of High Crimes and Mr. Rogers.

A columnist pointed out that the transfer of Ukraine assistance for Biden dirt is effectively a bribe offered. "I need a favor," coming from a U.S. president carries a lot of weight.
And the quid pro quo Mulvaney keeps trying to walk back is certainly describing a bribe.
Bribery has a simple definition, so simple bribery is specifically listed in the Constitution as grounds for impeachment. The problem with proving high crimes and Mrs. Rogers is that it's not easy to get enough to agree what those are, which is why that charge didn't work for Johnson or Clinton, let alone Clinton's johnson.
Throughout all of this, the Administration's stance that Joe Biden is merely a random, corrupt person and not so much a potentially direct competitor to Trump's job is widely misleading.

Oh c’mon, it’s the cheap laffs you go for, not my erudite and astute analysis? I see how you are, now.

According to my daughter, the proper, cool phrase is “now I see how it is”.
