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...

Trump didn’t “push” Ukraine onto Biden.

The Bidens did what they did on their own.

Trump, as president, had a perfect right to find out what went on, involving a foreign country.

It was wrong for the President (the Chief law enforcement officer) to demand that the Biden’s Corruption be called corruption.

Pointing out a democrats crimes is a crime, don’t cha know.

Wrong? Why?

Do we not always work with other nations in fighting organized crime?

Without John Solomon The Hill is just so much garbage.

Glad I don’t have to read it any more.

Waiting for Solomon to direct us toward his new venture.

So it’s wrong of Trump to ask a foreign leader to investigate corruption of US politicians and their relatives?

After ALL the criminal transgressions, lies and fraud that have been heaped upon DJT, how can it be said what he is or has done is “wrong” or “improper”....if anyone is entitled to self defense in any reasonable form, DJT is it.

It wasn't about political campaigns... It was about corruption in public office...

Biden’s idiot kid got $83,000 for the last 5 years from this scam. That’s around 5 million, for someone with zero experience in natural gas or finance. That’s crooked dealing anyway you look at it!
Then you have Biden admitting he got the Ukrainian prosecutor fired for daring to investigate the idiot Biden boy!
Yep, nothing to see here!!!/S

President Trump knows the US Dept. of Justice will do nothing; so why shouldn’t he ask for Ukraine to look into it??

If the FBI will not investigate Biden, and the courts will not indict Biden, and the DoJ will not prosecute Biden, it is up to the President to get to Biden and go around our Justice System.
