I’m still trying to get my arms around why it should be a problem to ask ANY country to help us investigate corruption — regardless if the person is running for office or not. This is a far distance from asking a country to invent intelligence to overturn an election.

...which, by the way, is more corruption.

In the Ukraine matter, the president's phone call to the Ukranian leader was not a problem because there is a law that Clinton signed that allows it.

It's called the "Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters", Treaty Document 106-16. Approved in 1999 under President Clinton. In Senate records and downloadable as a PDF - 31 pages.

It authorizes mutual assistance in criminal investigations.

Trump is following the law, not violating it.
