1. The FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies can and do operate overseas, under certain circumstances. 

2. Hunter Biden is a citizen of the U.S., and these agencies can detain and question him on U.S. soil if warranted.

3. Or, you know, the Ukrainians themselves can decide whether or not to investigate a certain individual for corruption, free of undue pressure from the U.S. president.



Look, Hunter Biden does seem to me like a petty grifter and beneficiary of Biden family nepotism -- not trying to defend everything he's ever done. But he's clearly not some sort of imminent national security threat that would justify the personal involvement of the commander-in-chief.

1. They can only operate if they are invited to and within whatever legal limitations the foreign country applies to them. Ukraine will not ask. By law their mandate is that they can't operate outside the US.

2. They sure could. I wonder why they haven't? Of course that assumes Hunter Biden is in the US at all.

3. They could, but they might be under the impression that their aid will be dropped if they look into it, like Biden threatened on video. I think Trump was just saying "you can look into this now. We won't pull your aid".

IMAGE DESCRIPTION:

I'M TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO EXPLAIN TO MY FELLOW AMERICANS JUST HOW WRONG THIS UKRAINE THING IS. AND I RESPECT ALL OF YOU: SO I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO THIS IN THE MOST NEUTRAL AND NON-PARTISAN WAY I CAN. U.S. PRESIDENTS SIMPLY DON’T DO THIS KIND OF INVESTIGATING. THERE ARE 1000’S OF "HUNTER BIDENS" IN THE WORLD: COMPANY BOARDMEMBERS WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE GUILTY OF CORRUPTION. WITH ALL THE OTHER THINGS ON A PRESIDENT'S PLATE, IT’S SIMPLY NOT IN THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF’S JOB DESCRIPTION TO GO AFTER THEM ALL. 99.99% OF THE TIME, THAT'S CONSIDERED A JOB FOR THE EXPERTS IN OUR FBI, OR THE UKRAINIANS THEMSELVES... UNLESS IT'S HUNTER BIDEN: THEN HE MOVES STRAIGHT TO THE FRONT OF THE QUEUE! BUT EVEN IF YOU THINK HUNTER BIDEN IS GUILTY OF SOMETHING, AND DON'T THINK TRUMP DID ANYTHING WRONG: DOESN'T TRUMP STILL HAVE A LOT OF WORK HE NEEDS TO DO TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN? WHY DOESN'T HE LEAVE THIS ONE TO THE PROS?
