If they have Biden on tape saying what you claim than why did Trump have to keep pressuring the Ukrainian government to investigate one of his political opponents? And if Trump was doing that, doesn't that constitute an abuse of his power? I would point out Trump was withholding aid for Ukrain and it was only because of bipartisan pressure from both sides that made it happen. I think voters will kick his fat lying corrupt ass out in '20 before he's actually impeached if it's any consolation
That's a lying narrative, designed to bypass the many examples of prosecutaable corruption of Joseph Biden, that his friends in high places have prevented investigation and prosecution off... so far.
The Ukranian goverment was offering the U.S. government evidence since at least 2016, that an Obama-controlled, and Hillary friendly DOJ and FBI ignored. Likewise when Jeff Sessions was appointed, he for some reason recused himself and did not appoint anyone to investigate, leaving Rod Rosenstein (a charter member of the Deep State) in charge of the investigation, essentially assigning one of those at the center of the corruption to investigate the corruption, assuring it would not be investigated.
It was only with the appointment of William Barr as attorney general that a true investigation began. As with the investigations of the FBI and DOJ and Fusion GPS and the DNC, many people were not willing to come forward, knowing it was previously a Soviet-style investigation, not one intended to actually lead to prosecution. Why would anyone put themselves at risk for what they did not trust to be an actual investigation? Trump was assuring the Ukranians that unlike before when evidence was offered and ignored, that this is a real investigation under new management, and that this time we want their offered evidence and their full cooperation in actually pursuing justice.
No one knows what was said in Trump's conversations with the Ukranian leadership (even the alleged unnamed "whistleblower" apparently only saw a partial transcript of the conversation after the fact) but it is completely appropriate for Trump to say
There is a serious investigation now, not a fake one, and we want all the information that you tried to send us before that was ignored by corrupt investigators. There is no evidence that Trump did anything wrong, that he offered any
quid pro quo to manufacture a case against a political opponent. He just asked for Ukraine's records and cooperation in doing a proper investigation of Biden and his son.
Biden, who openly boasted about witholding over a billion dollars in U.S. aid to Ukraine unless the investigator was fired, WHICH THE UKRANIAN PRESIDENT UNDER THAT PRESSURE DID.VERY CLEAR:
1) Biden's son, Hunter Biden had absolutely no experience in the energy industry, or in business related to Ukraine or China, but in both countries he signed billion-dollar contracts, for which he personally was paid millions, in Ukraine alone recieving up to $50,000 a month (reporters Mollie Hemingway has elsewhere cited payments over $80,000 a month). Clearly not for his professional ability, but because of his political connections, the son of a vice president.
2) Hunter Biden was protected by a threat of witholding billions in funds to the Ukranian government.
That Joseph Biden openly bragged about, on video 3) Hunter Biden quit his corrupt job in early April 2019, less than 3 weeks before Joe Biden announced his presidential bid on April 25th, to prevent that from being active corruption that would interfere with his father's presidential bid.
4)
John Kerry's stepson, Christopher Heinz, son had been in business with Hunter Biden, but distanced himself from Hunter Biden, when Hunter Biden began his corrupt and lucrative deal with the Ukranian company.
If you want further examples of Biden's corruption over the decades, pick up Michelle Malkin's book
Culture of Corruption detailing Joe Biden's decades of enriching himself on corruption and inside deals, laid out in the very first chapter. Biden lives way beyond his means, on money he never earned.
Malkin's book is about the corruption in the entire Demcorat party, that is just Biden's small slice of that corrupt pie.
