But it is a crime to call up a state official and demand "find me 11000 votes" - 1pg

Why? Now if it was accompanied with a credible threat such as "If you don;t I will hunt you down and make you sorry", then you might have something.

He's up on charges for trying to influence/manipulate the results (and/or officials).

Again, not a crime. Every campaign speech is an attempt to influence elections. Doesn't even have to be true. Such as Harry Reid stating the Mitt Romney didn't pay his taxes and then later smirking at the lie, "It worked, didn't it."

I know many of you just hate Trump so very much that you want his words to be crimes but proving that in criminal proceedings is much harder (high bar for admissible evidence) than in impeachment proceedings and you see how that worked out.
