The article also suggests that Trump will muddy the waters, repeat the lie over and over again and his ignorant followers who (again) can't follow the sordid details will assume that Biden withheld money because of Hunter's involvement...Trump supporters will support Trump BASED ON FALSE 'FATCS'. Trump believes that he has the right to investigate an alleged past crime and by doing so has committed a present crime. It is not the job of the POTUS to investigate his political opponent. It is not the responsibility of the POTUS to do that...leave it to the Law Enforcement agencies. Trump has no idea that he - as POTUS - holds a very unique position in our country. In fact, THERE IS NO OTHER POSITION LIKE THE POTUS. And because of that one simple fact, there are special conditions and LIMITATIONS placed on the POTUS. Trumpers, you need to research why Biden (along with the rest of the Western-allied countries) wanted that particular persecutor, Shokin removed. For the past decade, Ukraine was rife with systematic corruption. For years the country refused to clean up the corruption in its government. Europe, EU and the USA were all working together to pressure the Ukraine to clean up corruption. The special prosecutor, Shokin was a major player in the corruption. Along with the UK, EU and the UN...Biden was constantly warning the Ukraine government that the special prosecutor, Shokin was dragging his feet on important investigations in turn for alleged bribes. It had nothing to do with his son. Shokin was not investigating Hunter ....Shokin was not investigation anything. After Shokin did RESIGN, the new prosecutor had then investigated the entire company Hunter Biden worked for, found no criminal activity, and closed their investigation. The person Shokin, Biden bragged about getting rid of was corrupt adn the UK, EU and the UN were all happy. People in Ukraine thought removing him was the right thing to do. Does Trump or his followers understand the history and reputation of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin? He was corrupt to the core. There have been many allegations of bribery, extortion, and basic neglect and lack of diligence. The Ukraine people even marched in the streets several times against this man. He was HATED in Ukraine and when he left his office people celebrated. EU hails sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor Shokin, The Irish Times (29 March 2016) Find a good, unbiased source and look into it.

@Adam Eaton Asking....what do you think about Trump asking a foreign power to investigate Biden isn't asking him to speak on hypotheticals. It happened...Trump admitted it on National TV. Now...saying he doesn't want to speculate on what should happen to Trump before seeing the transcripts would have been different. He was clearly able to speak on topics about Biden and have a strong opinion on things that were unsubstantiated. He didn't want to answer the question and chose rather to deflect.

@@timscott3892 Do you remember the poisoning of one of Ukraine's anti-Putin presidents Yushchenko? It turns out Russia poisoned him with dioxin in order to get rid of him. The Ukraine has a sordid twenty past of bitter struggles, threats, war, and CORRUPTION. The only way this could hurt Biden is that Trump supporters do not understand the history of corruption in Ukraine, the military struggle between Ukraine and Russia, the changes in the Ukraine government through the past twenty years especially the presidents' allegiances and elections, and the history of the AID PACKAGE which was approved by the US Congress. Trump will muddy the waters, repeat the lie over and over again and his ignorant followers who (again) can't follow the sordid details will assume that Biden withheld money because of Hunter's involvement...Trump supporters will support Trump BASED ON FALSE 'FATCS'. Trump believes that he has the right to investigate an alleged past crime and by doing so has committed a present crime. It is not the job of the POTUS to investigate his political opponent. It is not the responsibility of the POTUS to do that...leave it to the Law Enforcement agencies. Trump has no idea that he - as POTUS - holds a very unique position in our country. In fact, THERE IS NO OTHER POSITION LIKE THE POTUS. And because of that one simple fact, there are special conditions and LIMITATIONS placed on the POTUS. Trumpers, you need to research why Biden (along with the rest of the Western-allied countries) wanted that particular persecutor, Shokin removed. For the past decade, Ukraine was rife with systematic corruption. For years the country refused to clean up the corruption in its government. Europe, EU and the USA were all working together to pressure the Ukraine to clean up corruption. The special prosecutor, Shokin was a major player in the corruption. Along with the UK, EU and the UN...Biden was constantly warning the Ukraine government that the special prosecutor, Shokin was dragging his feet on important investigations in turn for alleged bribes. It had nothing to do with his son. Shokin was not investigating Hunter ....Shokin was not investigation anything. After Shokin did RESIGN, the new prosecutor had then investigated the entire company Hunter Biden worked for, found no criminal activity, and closed their investigation. The person Shokin, Biden bragged about getting rid of was corrupt and the UK, EU and the UN were all happy. People in Ukraine thought removing him was the right thing to do. Does Trump or his followers understand the history and reputation of the Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin? He was corrupt to the core. There have been many allegations of bribery, extortion, and basic neglect and lack of diligence. The Ukraine people even marched in the streets several times against this man. He was HATED in Ukraine and when he left his office people celebrated. EU hails sacking of Ukraine’s prosecutor Viktor Shokin, The Irish Times (29 March 2016) Find a good, unbiased source and look into it. Vote for Trump or whomever you choose, but at least do it based on facts instead of conspiracy theories that have already been disproven.
