12. He's mocked or insulted the intelligence community as well

Pissing off the Americans who will determine if the Russians and his campaign were involved with each other is not too smart.

I agree that his financial crimes, that he probably hid with payoffs, should be fairly easy to find and prove - as the guilty pleas for the financial crimes of Manafort and Cohen suggest.

The beauty there is that not only can he face jail time, they can fine him and snatch his assets for restitution. Cohen and Manafort lost millions - Trump will probably dwarf them.
