Jim, it was because Ukraine wasn't cooperating with the Mueller investigation, it was about Manafort not Trump and it was made right out in public.

You're having that fruit problem again.

oh. so if our government concludes ukraine isn’t doing its part ( which is subjective, obviously), it’s ok to pressure them
to investigate political
adversaries.

how do you know that’s not what trump did.

the fruit here, is the bananas where your brain is supposed to be.

Manafort was the subject of a criminal FBI investigation. You do know he's in Jail right now right?

i do!

and when obama was caught on a live mic asking a russian official to hold off missile programs
until after his re election, at which time he’d “have more flexibility” to work with them...that wasn’t a president asking russia for a favor for political gain?

I don't see how that benefited him politically. He's simply saying it will be easier to come to an agreement that's beneficial to our country.

if it didn’t benefit him politically, why did he specifically ask them
to wait until after his final
election?

Who’s hiding anything there?
What personal gains do the Senators achieve?
I attached the letter, perhaps you could point out where they asked for Trump to be investigated.

When you can't answer a question, once again you hypocritically pivot to a new ButObama claim, trying to conflate something, anything with what Trump, whom you don't really like but defend tirelessly, did.

As to your latest distraction, there is a vast difference between saying this is not the time to negotiate that and saying we have a good relationship, not reciprocal, but do me a favor, investigate my opponent and you'll get your missiles that you asked for.
One is normal practice and the other, with the ask and the get, is why Trump will likely be impeached.
