1/ The complaint starts with Dr. Bright's credentials.
He opposed the broad use of chloroquine and hydroxychloroquine as lacking scientific merit, even though the Administration promoted it as a panacea and demanded that New York and New Jersey be “flooded” with these drugs.

2/ Dr. Bright didn't like that lucrative awards went to companies with political connections to the administration.
He also documents that he and public health officials were fully aware of the threat of COVID-19 by early January 2020.

3/ It was also clear that the administration (despite being warned) did nothing to preopare or protect the people from the coming pandemic.
The Trump administration did, however, seek to profit and help their friends profit.

4/ This might be a good time to remember that Trump was impeached for Abuse of Power:
He was impeached for using the powers and privileges of his office for self-enrichment, and to subvert the national interests in favor of his own personal interests.

5/ The second Article of Impeachment also comes to mind when Trump refused to allow Dr. Fauci and others to testify before Congress.
Article II was Obstruction of Congress.

Dear @SenateGOP: Clearly you're okay with the President allowing Americans to die while he uses the levers of government to make sure he and his pals profit.
You're okay with that, right? Because you allowed it.
I hate to put this harshly but here's the fact. . .

7/ The responsibility for each unnecessary death falls squarely on the @SenateGOP, who were presented with irrefutable evidence that Trump manipulates the government for his own personal profit and cares nothing about anything except his own profit.
8/ Yup. Instead of marching through all the details, I just called it a Firehose of Corruption.
Nobody who followed the impeachment hearings will be surprised.
Horrified, yes. Surprised, no.
