It Was Wrong for Trump to Push Ukraine on the Bidens
NationalReview ^ | September 23, 2019 | The Editors

Most Trump news cycles pass faster than a summer storm, but this one will last a while.

After initially denying it, the president has conceded that he encouraged Ukraine’s president to investigate corruption allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate running against his reelection.

To have done so was wrong, plain and simple. American political campaigns should be American affairs. Yet a presidential act can be wrong, even blatantly wrong, without justifying impeachment. Democrats in the grip of an anti-Trump fever currently are ignoring that distinction.

Of course there ought to be scrutiny of Vice President Biden’s actions...

Your link says “The Hill”.. but it is Nat’l Review. Quite telling.... NOT!

Bill Buckley would be a Trump champion!

Not the noodle spine NR staff. The Hill is a pile of steaming cow dung.... with similar spines. Crap weasels.

I have noticed that when a Dim is accused of something...the whole dim party rises up and screams and hollers.

MANY OF THEM, PELOSI, SCHUMER, SCHIFF, ON AND ON.

It’s like a bunch of cockroaches that are lying in wait and when the light comes on...when one of theirs is accused...they come out and start immediately looking for ways to neutralize the ACCUSER.

THEY USE THIS METHOD TIME AFTER TIME.
THEY APPEAR TO BE A CROWD OF FOLLOWERS AND NO REAL LEADER.

On May 16, 2006, [Hunter] Biden was nominated by President George W. Bush to the board of directors of Amtrak.

Can anyone say, “swamp’?

Lock them all up, the Bushies too.

In Biden’s case: People who live in glass houses should STFU.

Uh, so Biden uses American Taxpayer Money to strong arm Ukraine into stop an investigation into the (highly questionable) activities of his son, and it is wrong for the president of the United States to ask questions about it? Give me a freakin' break?

Selective outrage is not outrage. It’s political theater.

This article is total dangerous bs. The “election” is local. But politicians don’t get to commit a billion taxpayer dollar crime overseas.

Liberals are so full of it.

I guess it was wrong for Hillary and the DNC to pressure the Ukrainians to get dirt on Trump through Manafort.

ARREST ALL OF THEM

The Biden & son story is old news. Hillary used it to keep Biden out of the race in 2016.

So I guess it was also wrong for Obama to authorize an investigation into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia?

Perhaps the person writing the article should have taken both sides to task. Remember it was Biden who extorted the Urkrinians and Hillary that tried to use the Ukraine against Trump. I say turn about is a good thing. Trump turned the Lefts extortion schemes against them.
