Allege the little devil has taken every one (7)

I believe the answer is:

impeach

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'allege' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'little devil has taken every one' is the wordplay.
'little devil' becomes 'imp' (I've seen this before).
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'taken every one' becomes 'each' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'imp'+'each'='IMPEACH'

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for impeach that I've seen before include "Bring a charge against" , "call into question" , "Charge a public official with an offence" , "Arraign, charge" , "Charge with treason, etc" .)
