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...

National Review may want to brush up on the concept of right and wrong. It is wrong to allow an American to use the power of the government to corruptly influence another country, as Biden blatantly did. It is not wrong for the other country to be asked to investigate the wrongdoing.
He didn’t push Ukraine.

It’s a Democrat feminist harpy move to toss Biden and nominate Warren.
Devin Nunes… It looks like Biden’s campaign is over…

Thank you.
Hunter was confused. He thought he was being nominated to “Am-Crack”.
Here we go again. A coordinated GOPe attack. Weld, Romney, and the National Review attacking in unison.
The Dems signaled it was time for the Uniparty to rise up and try to take down our President once more.
Great meme!
Their main funding is Never Trumpers. The Koch brother is making another bid to stop Wall funding.
It will be interesting to see if Ted Cruz joins in the criticism. He usually goes along with the Utah GOPe. But I’ll keep my mouth shut.
So Ukraine dropped their original investigation because of threats of retaliation from the US VP, Joe Biden.
Trump was informing Ukraine the US would not retaliate now if they resumed their investigation.
Trump withheld about $450 million dollars from Ukraine the week before the telephone call. He was probably leery of sending that much money into an abyss of corruption.
Pushing Ukraine on the bidens, how dare he push their own criminal acts upon them.
Biden and his son were bilking foreign governments out of millions of dollars by using Biden’s position in the U.S. government, and NR takes issue with Trump. A clearer and more public example of government corruption could not exist. It is an embarrassment for all Americans to have such blatantly corrupt leaders. It is also an embarrassment to have such publications as NR that have no interest in investigating this corruption.
BS to National Review. You shine a light on corruption no matter where it is. I don’t care who is holding the lamp. It is that kind of attitude that permits the corruptocracy to continue and thrive. National Review is morally challenged!!!!!
The wall of shame. The only reason I scroll NR threads is to check if someone posted it.
