The Democrats are accusing Trump of using his power, and holding back aid to Ukraine, to investigate Biden, and they say that's illegal, because they are running against each other in 2020.
1: Even if that was true, and they haven't proven that, we DO have visual/audio evidence that Vice-President Biden, actually DID extort the Ukrainians to fire their Prosecutor. Normal thought for average Americans is....why is it okay for Biden........but you get to impeach Trump?
2: If it's illegal to spy/investigate your opponent right before an election, isn't that the same thing the Socialists are doing with their 5/6 committees that continue to look for dirt, on their political opponent Trump, after the Russia hoax fell through? I've used this supposition in several discussions, with people, on the Ukraine mess.....and it's interesting to see their reaction, when they look at it that way. Even when they respond that it's the Socialist's official job as Congressmen.....when I shoot back that it's also a President's official job to want crimes investigated that hurt the US....they go silent.
3: And about the stupid extortion charge? Why would Trump even need to hold money back for cooperation, like old Joe? We have a Treaty between Ukraine, signed in Kiev, by Slick Willie, ratified by the Senate, that says Ukraine WILL cooperate in matters of criminal activities.....and the main contact person is the Attorney General of the US (Barr) or anyone he designates.
I just think this mess is going to flop, BIG TIME, just like the Russian lies.
My take away:
Dems want to impeach Trump over this for 2 reasons.
1. The whistle blower’s complaint was subject to executive privilege because it covered a call between our president and another head of state.
2. Trump wanted another head of state to investigate a possible crime that is subject to US jurisdiction.
