I know this has been done before, but I could not find it.

It's against the law to ask or take anything of value that may sway an election, from a foreign national.
It doesn't matter if you are successful in getting that thing of value or not.

As chief executive, the president is required to ask about, and attempt to root out corruption in the US. If you don't think Joe Biden forcing Ukraine to fire the prosecutor (in the clearest case of quid pro Joe ever documented... by Joe himself!!!) looking into the company that had his son on the board of directors, in spite of the son having nothing of any practical benefit to offer them other than his name and his connections, isn't corruption, then you're so deep into the depths of TDS that a rational conversation with you is not possible.

Keep in mind, this has to be viewed from the perspective of what the Ukraine did for the democrat party in the 2016 election. Open your eyes and think with your brain, instead of believing the tripe forced on you by a media that has clearly, along with the progressives in the democrat party, also lost their minds due to having near terminal cases of TDS.

A country riddled with corruption and what does Trump demand to release 400 million in aid? An announcement of an investigation into the son of his opponent.

Joe Biden got NOTHING of personal value in demanding the dude get fired. He was instructed to demand the man be fired.

Nothing of personal value??? HA!!!! I guess keeping his drug addict son gainfully employed to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars a month to you is nothing.

Typically that attitude is only expressed by people who don't work, and don't know the value of money or a job. I may disagree with you frequently, but until now I had never considered you to be of that ilk. My mistake, apparently.

How did this keep his son employed? There was no ongoing investigation. The case was dropped months before Hunter was employed.

Wouldn't getting rid of a corrupt prosecutor put his son at risk if what you say/think is true

You're line of thinking makes no sense.

So Hunter Biden being paid as much as $50K a month for serving on the Burisma board of directors from April 2014 to April 2019 is not what you would consider employment? Man, you and I sure have different definitions of words like employment and personal value. Amazing.

I never said the prosecutor that was fired was corrupt. Show me where I said that? Getting rid of a prosecutor that was going to investigate the company and its dealing could put his son at risk. And he boasted about getting rid of the prosecutor. I won't provide a link, because the video is ubiquitous, and I've seen it several times from several different sources.

Here's an interesting read on this subject, that claims proof of these payments does not exist: https://checkyourfact.com/2019/10/17/fact-check-hunter-biden-ukraine-burisma-payments/

If I were the suspicious type, it sure looks like the money Hunter received was laundered through a consulting firm. But clearly I'm not the suspicious type, right?

Also, according to that article, Biden said something I agree with, when interviewed by Amy Robach: “Look, I’m a private citizen. One thing that I don’t have to do is sit here and open my kimono as it relates to how much money I made or make or did or didn’t.”

An interesting way to phrase it, but the essence of that statement is correct, imo.

Regarding the meat of the actual issue we're discussing, which is 'the phone call' being used by the dems in their latest attempt in a long string of attempts to impeach president Trump, you really need to check your facts. Sure, you threw some fec.gov link at me in reply to my OP, but clearly you are not aware of the 1998 treaty, ratified by the US senate (including a vote in favor of it by one Joe Biden, if I'm not mistaken) that requires the US president to investigate corruption between the US and the Ukraine

The treaty is called the "Treaty with Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters" and was ratified by the U.S. Senate on Oct. 18, 2000.

What about the $500,000 Giuliani made, funneling money from foreigners to right leaning political packs? Is that okay?

If you don't realize this is what people on both sides do, you are incredibly naive. Either way, if Hunter is guilty charge him!!!!!! Put him in prison, I really don't give a f**k!

It makes no difference in terms of our f**king criminal President getting caught in an impeachable offense.

I only read half your ramblings. Don't care enough to read all that.

Okay, I'm done with you. I reply to what you write, but you do not respond in kind, but instead simply blather on with more crap that you're pulling out of your ass.

I didn't need you to tell me you don't read my "ramblings", because I don't need anyone to tell me when I'm dealing with a person with a limited attention span. Sorry if I used too many words with too many syllables for you to comprehend.

Hey, where's your "leave me alone!" comment? That was my favorite!

'I don't like what you're saying, and you're making so much sense that I look bad and my TDS left a mark... leave me alone!'

Hunter could be the second coming of Hitler, it makes no difference. America doesn't extort funds from friends in order to gain advantage in an election. Any defense otherwise is rambling.

Wait. What do you mean "what the Ukraine did for the democrat party in the 2016 election"?

https://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446

This article states that the Ukraine did very little to help Clinton. Why are you even mentioning it? It means nothing.

"very little" and there is "absolutely no evidence against the Bidens" Got it.

No, you don't get it. Neither the Bidens or Clinton and the Ukraine, makes ANY difference.
Put anyone and everyone in jail if they are guilty of crimes.

You're saying, "but, but, but, what about Hillary, what about Biden". Big difference! Hillary isn't an excuse. Biden isn't an excuse. What are you, 12? You're thinking like a child.

Which will make you scream at the sky more: when Barr starts dragging conspirators before a grand jury or when TRUMP gets re-elected?

Too funny. All you have is some future possibility no one can know the outcome to. You hang on to that.

We have TRUMP and two Supreme Court Justices appointed by him. That's pretty good. Economy's doing great; even sore losers are doing better economically. We haven't been drawn into foreign entanglements. Embassy was moved to Jerusalem after so many empty promises. Border finally being secured despite the Democrats best efforts. USMCA would be creating jobs except, once again Democrats… but yeah, all we have is some future possibility of something… I will hang on to it.

Oh, that crazy Ukraine conspiracy. Gotcha.

Can be done enough! Good job. Take the rest of the week off.
