We might not be here if the mainstream media, which loved the Steele Dossier when it seemed to incriminate Donald Trump, had later shown an equal interest in investigating its origins as a partisan fabrication.
In his now-famous transcript, Mr. Trump mainly presses Ukraine’s new president for dirt not on the Bidens but on the known unknowns of 2016. “I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine,” he says. “There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation.”
This is the “favor” he actually seeks from Ukraine’s president.
Yes, Mr. Trump’s musings about the Democratic National Committee’s server may be deluded, though it remains true that the FBI never directly examined the server. His next reference, however, begins “I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people.” Here he may be referring to Ukrainian legislator Serhiy Leshchenko, who injected into the U.S. race a secret document on Paul Manafort’s finances that later became a major factor in the Mueller investigation. Only intermittently have outlets like Politico and the Hill ever shown interest in the alleged pro-Clinton efforts of the previous Ukrainian government. Ukraine at the time was pell-mell becoming a U.S. client. Billions in civilian and military aid were starting to flow from the Obama administration. Vice President Joe Biden was dispatched to help clean up Ukraine’s reputation and make it an acceptable partner.
This was the moment when Hunter Biden, with no relevant expertise, and last seen being booted from a short-lived career in the Navy Reserve because of a failed drug test, received a lucrative role with a Ukrainian company. Where might Mr. Trump have gotten the idea there was something fishy about this? From the U.S. media of course:

Ukraine is the tip of a proverbial giant iceberg if corruption.
The Democrats are attacking as Trump is getting closer to the snake’s head.
This whole Ukraine deal that the President orchestrated is a master stroke. I want the democrats to hurry up with the impeachment. Trump will crush them in the senate trial.

An investigation of possible criminal behaviour is not a search for “dirt,” and Biden and his son aren’t entitled to a free pass just because they are opponents of Trump.
Isn’t this when everything blew up...when the president had mentioned Crowdstrike in the conversation? Wasn’t that the crux of the server issue? This must be quite important to a lot of people, not only dims but also some rinos. Also, is some of the white house staff ( or alphabet agency ) bugging the calls president Trump is making? And as far as I am concerned, the president should dissolve the FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, ATF, etc ad nauseum and replace them with something that can be trusted. I know...it just isn’t practical but this stuff is way out of control.
Could have been much worse, doesn't say he donated to Hillery.

You say it as if there is some common sense in Congress. Did you hear the comments from both parties?
iceberg . . . . snake . . . .uh, bad on you. Mixed metaphors. Bad, bad.
Is it mandated the Senate must conduct a trial...or can they simply vote based on the evidence supplied by the house.
The Democrats are Hell-bent, literally, on destroying this country.
They don’t show us anything different.
I’ve always thought it was fishy that Hunter married after only knowing his wife for one week. Of course this was after he started hanging with his brothers widow.
As soon as I saw those two words, Crowdstrike and server, that Nancy would be crapping her pants.
Let’s write a yuge book:
“What the press doesn’t know about many things.”
Hillery does not bend that way...
What was the Badge in his car?? SEVERAL DRIVERS LICENSES??? REALLY?? WHOSE NAME?
Bad genetics, this Hunter fellow appears to be as creepy as his father.
