1.  Abuse of Power - What evidence is there that concludes without a shadow of a doubt of abuse of power?  How is this a "high crime"?

2.  Obstruction of Congress - Again, what evidence is there that this is somehow a crime?  Because The President directed certain members not to testify?

If you truly can't see this for what it is then I can't help you.

Whenever I don't understand something, first I go to Wikipedia to try to get the lay of the land. in this case Wikipedia is kind of a dangerous choice because it gets edited frequently. But to their credit, Wikipedia tracks all changes. And they have an article about "high crimes in misdemeanors". I've checked what it says both now and what it said back in 2015. It essentially has the same message. I'd start there.
