I think a 'high crime or misdemeanor' is whatever the Congress says it is. This would be a misdemeanor. Ordinarily, of course, a libel is a tort, not a crime, but we can call this 'malicious mischief.'

What makes it 'high' is who did it, and who they accused.

Bottom line is we can't have a president who goes around acting like this.
