And Trump threw in a sarcastic shot at the media as well (which had been all in for Clinton and constantly bashing Trump) by saying that the media would reward the Russians for finding the missing emails.

If Trump had been serious about asking Putin (Russia) for help, he would have done so through secret channels not on national TV for millions of voters, all the media, and the FBI and CIA and the Democrat Party and the rest of the "Swamp" to see and hear.

Here we go with. The emails.. another outrage the right couldn't support with any evidence , just like. Crowd strike

And if on cue what trump asked it was hyperbole,,, funny he could have ask ukraine , as you suggested go through secret channels for dirt on biden or even offical ones

But like russia China he thinks crimes in the open aren't crimes and clearly his supporters feel the same way

this unethical behavior,, plotting against the socialist. That Republicans love to call socialist yet hope he gets the nomination chime in how unfairly he was treated as if they care. His nomination they hope will help them keep the White House, please spare me ... PS it was the Russians who hacked a US political party it should matter but again not to Trump fans who claim America 1st but that only applies to Trump and his supporters, the rest hate America anyway


Funny outrage over Dems being unethical

But Trumps behavior Republicans cant even use the word unethical out of fear ,

The use of the word criminal in a sentence would get them banished


"don’t care about the unethical
behavior revealed in the hacked emails, all that matters is who hacked them"

Do you hear yourself ? this is Trumps and the Republicans entire defense . Is built on your statement

All that matters is who did the telling ..... Whistleblower

[scottw]

lost marbles cause mindless babble syndrome....

In response to your typical justification that Floridaman’s actions if “wrong” are jokes.

I’m sure it will be the new defense for criminal cases, “my client was joking”.
Maybe Alan Underwear will use it to claim his latest guilty clients innocence.

Constantly moving the goalposts...constantly.

I never said presidents don't care about the good of the country. I'm saying that they also care a lot about getting re elected. You say that makes me cynical, I say denying that makes you naïve.

You need to look up the definition of nepotism cuz you have no idea what it means. There has never been anyone who's posted anything indicating how they were corrupt but you continue to defame someone with no facts that is pathetic.

For the tenth time, if the biden’s were actually engaged in corruption, Trump can’t ask for
an investigation, because it would benefit him? So the Biden’s can rob a bank, and Trump can’t ask for
an investigation because that might help him?

As to personally benefitting from the office? The Clintons are worth hundreds of millions, and the Obamas just bought a $15 million vacation home. All thanks to the office they held. But it’s only an issue when a republican benefits from his office. Gimme a break.

Lets make it even more simple. Say Trump believes there’s evidence of corruption by any American in a foreign country. Does he enlist help from:

A) The FBI

or

B) Lev Parnas

Have fun.

Hmm, let me think how to respond about whether the Clintons and Obama benefited from being President after they left office versus how Trump is benefiting personally while in office??? Can anyone help me?

He has a justice department for that, and congress (which he held control of both houses for a stretch.) If this was about corruption, this was literally the worst way a president could go about getting it investigated. Bottom line is that it was illegal. You can’t argue that.

He got caught. Said there was no quid pro quo. Sondland SAT IN FRONT OF CONGRESS and said there was actually quid pro quo. They charged him with it. GAO confirmed it was illegal. Now we’re in the senate to decide what’s next.

Hey he most frustrating thing here is that he can be guilty of breaking the law and not removed from office. I wish people who don’t want him gone would just admit he broke the law. This drawn out argument backed by lies that he did nothing wrong is just hurting the institution.

i completely agree.

What’s also selective, is the liberal concern for politicians benefitting personally from the decisions they make.

ok. the personal benefit to trump, is that it helps him get re elected, right, You’re saying all politicians don’t do things because they hope it will help them get re elected? so a president in his first term, isn’t supposed to do anything, that will make people want to vote for him again? Do you hear how stupid that sounds?

Obama bragged during his 2012 re election that GM was alive and Bin Laden was dead. Obama
was using the actions he took while in office, to help benefit himself. Where were the calls for impeachment?

You’re saying it’s an impeachable offense for a potus to do anything that might help him get re elected. Wow. I mean, wow.

There’s also every reason to believe that Biden used his office, while he was in office, to benefit his son. You really have to have your head in the sand to deny that between the cushy job in the Ukraine and all the foreign money that flowed to his investment bank when daddy was vp, that daddy had nothing to do with it.

Wrong. Finding out the truth about what was going on in the Ukraine, benefits all
if us.

You literally just said, that getting to the truth about whether or not the Biden’s were corrupt in Ukraine, benefits no one except for Trump. There’s no benefit, none whatsoever, to learning the truth?

Have fun with that nonsense, Paul. When clinging to your agenda requires you to say that learning the truth about what a leading presidential candidate has done has zero benefit, isnt it time to maybe get a different agenda?

Just sayin’.

You don’t want to know what the Biden’s we’re doing there. That doesn’t mean there’s no benefit. Not even close. Biden is by far, by far, the best chance against Trump, so we need to protect him, and avoid the truth, at all costs.

At lest you admitted it explicitly, if unknowingly.

If Floridaman is concerned about adult children benefiting from their father’s name, why did he allow his sons to run his company during his presidency and give his unqualified children a place in administration?

If Floridaman was concerned about corruption in Ukraine, why ask a private attorney to go investigate it and why focus Zelensky only on topics that benefited Floridaman politically?
Isn’t it the job of U.S. law enforcement to investigate potential wrongdoing by Americans?
How could you say it is corrupt to seek to oust a corrupt prosecutor, a move the U.S. government and the Western alliance supported? At the time Viktor Shokin was fired, he was not actually investigating Burisma, right?

The correct answer is you need a predicate to open an investigation in this country.
Plenty of predicates existed to cause an investigation of the Floridaman campaign.

What’s the predicate for opening an investigation into Biden or his son?

You conveniently forgot to include the foreign country with whom we have a treaty on mutual assistance in criminal investigations.

The DOJ is investigating it. And it is also "proper" to ask the foreign government to assist in the investigation.

The predicate for opening an investigation on Trump was based on false information which none of which was given to the public at the time. The public is not aware of all information which now exists on the Biden scandal.

Nothing wrong with asking a private agency, all topics can either benefit or hurt Trump, and he also asked the foreign government and the DOJ to investigate.

Isn’t it the job of U.S. law enforcement to investigate potential wrongdoing by Americans?

It is so doing.

How could you say it is corrupt to seek to oust a corrupt prosecutor, a move the U.S. government and the Western alliance supported?

The U.S. government and European governments are often corrupt, self-serving, and prone to do shady things.

At the time Viktor Shokin was fired, he was not actually investigating Burisma, right?

There is testimony that he was.

I can't believe this is still being debated, like that process is ever going to change either sides mind on this board, it's not worth the time at this point, it will all be over one way or the other soon. So much evidence has come out since the house finished, I can't believe the right is even attempting to claim innocence at this point.

the more the evidence the tapes, photos ,written testimony trump supporters keep digging a deeper hole to hide in defending the defenseless .

the senate would never impeach him for any offense ..

But this defense of he did nothing wrong.. that won't mention trump's connection with giuliani on the floor of the senate is clear to the vast amount of americans outside his base ,

what he did wasn't right... and my not rise to removal of any POTUS not just Trump ... But will they Vote for him again ... that the Big question

[wdmso]

Trump tweet “Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man,” Trump tweeted Sunday morning. “He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!”


Republicans not outraged at the above threat from Trump the POTUS

yet their outraged with the suggestion Trump would have their heads on a Pike

Republican senators outraged after Schiff repeats 'head will be on a pike' report

Such cowards

this is fun, get this spence...

you’re saying it’s fishy that Trump asked Ukraine for help, instead of going to the FBI.

Yet you recently defended senate democrats for writing a letter to Ukraine, asking them to investigate Trump and Manafort. It was ok when democrats asked ukraine for an investigation instead of the fbi, but sinister when trump does it.

So where was the outrage when Senate democrats asked Ukraine to investigate Trump and Manafort? That letter has been widely circulated in public, and not once did I hear anyone on the left criticize the senate democrats for asking another country for help, that they should have gone to the Justice Dept.
