What the attempt to strongarm Comey into "loyalty" and the attempt, no matter how weakly, to get Comey to drop the Flynn investigation do indicate is a man who, possibly out of ignorance, but maybe some malice as well, either doesn't know or doesn't care about the necessary limitations of his office or of the at-arms length nature of the FBI. It suggests Trump is a pretty piss poor president, at the very least, but whether it rises to the level of impeachment will take a lot more time, and really, the final calculus will be as much about whether the GOP thinks Trump remaining president as the mid-terms approach will threaten the party's political fortunes.
I do agree with quite a few of your points: I must add though when you are president there is no weak attempt at strong arming anyone. Even a hint (which based on Comey's testimony was stronger than a hint) is significant. The president discussing an investigation like this and "hinting" (I'll bite and call it that) that someone should be let off or implying he is a good guy (whats next a stand up man?) is beyond the limits of Trump's office and if you or I had done that in any position of power, we'd be screwed.
But yes, at minimal - this proves Trump is not mature enough and also lacks the common sense to be president.
Comey also told us that yes, Pence knew...
