Since when has winning an election allowed any POTUS to do as they please.. didnt help Nixon or Clinton.. but some how this in your eyes is just political.. not enforcement of acceptable practices procedures and to protect the national security of our country .. Sadly your Man Trump sees these check and balances as obstruction to his power and position as if when elected he rubbed a genie lamp and was given dominion over the United States

wdmso, they were calling for
his impeachment from day one. it’s been their obsession. that doesn’t mean this wasn’t an impeachable offense. but you have to
admit, they’ve humiliated themselves a few times in the desperation to bring him down.

this isn’t objective fact. plenty of
left leaning constitutional lawyers, plenty of people who aren’t trumplicans, are saying this is wrong. i don’t know what to believe, how can i when half say one thing, half say the other.

i do know that similar ( not identical) behavior was totally acceptable when democrats did it and benefitted from it. That’s why i say this is political, and not based on principles. Tell me that Biden should be forbidden from running based on what he did, and i’ll put a lot more credibility on what you say. otherwise, it’s nothing but partisan.

"Republicans wanted to impeach Obama"

Who? When? How much time did they spend trying to do that?

"he never gave the a reason"

I agree 100%.

"learn your history...he dodge the muller report. but wasnt absolved"

Again, I agree. But a prosecutor's job isn't to absolve. It's to charge or not charge. My knowledge of history isn't the problem, your knowledge of civics is the problem.

"what you insist biden did is a debunked lie told to you by right wing blogers .. the only fact is his son had a job"

Noo, it's thoughtless kool aid drinkers who won't question anything about their side, who say it's all myth. He got that job, a job he had zero qualifications for, at the very time his dad was the point man on Ukraine. Just a coincidence. Of course there's no smoking gun, but an awful lot of fishy things.

WHere is your evidence that Trump asking them to investigate Biden was political, not a genuine attempt to see if there was any wrongdoing? Can you prove his intent? Nope. I'm not saying it wasn't political, but the fact is, there was enough there to look into it. Furthermore, where is your evidence that withholding military aid was a way to blackmail Ukraine to investigate Biden, as opposed to it being a way to get the Europeans to pony up more? But it's OK when you rely on circumstantial evidence, dumb hen I do it with Biden. The only explanation for that hypocrisy, is politics.

When circumstantial evidence suggests Biden was acting unethically, you put your fingers in your ears and ignore it. When circumstantial evidence suggests Trump acted unethically, by jiminy that's good enough for you.

All that matters, is the politics.

If what Trump did is disqualifying, so is doing what Biden did. I'm saying treat them both the same, give them each the same benefit of the doubt, or the same lack of benefit of the doubt. Isn't that the very definition of "fair"?

Have fun making that wrong.

Pete, first you started a thread suggesting that Trump actually, truly wanted to incite a civil war. Here, you're saying he wants to burn everything to the ground.

Which is it?

You're coming completely un-glued, even for you. He's probably going to get impeached. There is absolutely no way he gets removed, he will be in power until at least January 2021, unless something else comes out.

He threatens to destroy everything or that it will just self-destruct unless he wins, though you might claim it is just puffery.

He does do that. And it never comes to pass. It's bluster from a vindictive, narcissistic, egomaniac.

And this is the temperament you tolerate in your president?

Amazing.

well...this describes obama and the clintons too...guess it all depends on what team you are on

maybe trump needs to be more like obama?

the Guardian
"Since Barack Obama entered the White House in 2009, his government has waged a war against whistleblowers and official leakers. On his watch, there have been eight prosecutions under the 1917 Espionage Act – more than double those under all previous presidents combined."
