If Trump really wanted an investigation, he should have gone through the FBI like presidents normally do. But nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. He had already slammed the FBI on previous occasions (and his followers think they’re some kind of conspiracy) so he turned to a foreign government. Which is abuse of power and illegal. Or does THAT need to be spelled out more clearly?
Not when the President calls for it to be done specifically against his leading political rival by name.
Trump was President for 2 and half years before the July call. Where were the calls for an investigation of Hunter Biden and his position on the Burisma Board of Directors prior to that?
A blind man can see that it was about dirt-for-arms in using the Office of the President for personal political gain. Just so happens “corruption” was ignored for 2.5 years and then suddenly it’s important when it’s about getting dirt on your opponent by withholding badly needed military aid when the father is leading in the polls. Hell the perfect phone call didn’t even say “corruption” it said the “Biden’s”.

It’s summer 2021. Warren has won the presidency. A hurricane hits Texas. I guess the right would have no problem with president warren directing fema to withhold aid to Texas until the Texas ag start investigating senator cruz or some other political rival
He bragged about no such thing. He talked about getting a corrupt prosecutor that the US, the EU and NGOs all wanted gone because he was notoriously corrupt. He did not mention any investigation in that video you mention.
It seems some Trump supporting cons genuinely presume Donald’s motives in pressuring Ukraine were purely about uprooting corruption against the nation he loves SO much.
Hey guys what’s so bad about withholding 100s millions in critical aid so that I can pressure a foreign country to circumvent US judicial systems to investigate my political opponent
