None of what you are saying is a reason to decline to bring a case against Trump.
On 1, that is one of many fixes needed.

On 2, agreed with a caveat. Adder makes an important point. I’d add that we should not charge political opponents just because we can. It should only cover extreme circumstances.

Trump’s payoff for Stormy doesn’t warrant prosecution. If he made decisions because Putin told him to, that qualifies.
