Haha. Yeah, because we don’t want an opinion piece to start a discussion among all the partisans here spouting their opinions.Another meaningless post that is being positioned as news when it is an opinion piece
It is a FACT, not an opinion that the interviewees tried to evade the direct question: “Is it wrong for Trump to ask foreign countries to investigate his rivals?” Trying to garner support among their fellow constituents is one thing. Asking help from foreign countries is quite different.Another meaningless post that is being positioned as news when it is an opinion piece.
I would have made it a three part question, to explore the issue.It is a FACT, not an opinion that the interviewees tried to evade the direct question: “ Is it wrong for Trump to ask foreign countries to investigate his rivals? ” Trying to garner support among their fellow constituents is one thing.

That is NOT the question and it was NOT the question. It is explicitly asking for digging up dirt (real or imaginary) on a political rival during an election. Asking a domestic entity would be acceptable. asking a foreign entity, especially a hostile government is NOT. It is not just unethical, but criminal. Asking for interference with our election process is the number one impeachable offense. Nothing else is needed to remove Trump from the office.I would have made it a three part question, to explore the issue.
Obama’s answers were No, Yes and a resounding NO (heck, just make it up if you have to)
- Is it wrong for a President to investigate corruption?
- What if the target is in their own party?
- What if the target is in the opposition party?
How is that dirt? Who is denying it? How is it corrupt? What is the point of an investigation?Biden was bragging about getting someone fired for investigating the company his son is associated with.
fire him or the country would not get a large sum of money?
You’ll have to be more specific. Heck, my computer warns me that my recycle bin is corrupt but I can live with that.investigate corruption
So why pressure Ukraine for it?dirt didn’t need to be dug up
They must be looking for more proof that over half the country wants Trump to be removed. If Fox News can’t convince them, I don’t know who will.They must wait for someone to tell them what their OPINION should be?
The keyword is pressure.So why pressure Ukraine for it?
Yeah, right. Just like the father, whose son was kidnapped by the mafia will deny that any “pressure” was applied.The guy on the other end of the phone says there was no pressure
A non-event is tough to prove.no pressure
No, that’s a bizarre comparison.Yeah, right. Just like the father, whose son was kidnapped by the mafia
Bizarre. Maybe. No children were “kidnapped”, indeed. But being at the mercy of someone, who has the power to help you, or destroy you (or your country) is a very serious inducement to suck up to that someone. Especially when all you have to do is present a little lie.No, that’s a bizarre comparison.
no children or their equivalent were kidnapped by Trump admin
I wholly agree with you that Trump’s request is unethical under the circumstances (political gain), however I think the meat of the matter boils down to what constitutes “interference” in an election. I think we’ll see a divide among Trump supporters and opponents on this forum in regards to that question.Asking a domestic entity would be acceptable. asking a foreign entity, especially a hostile government is NOT. It is not just unethical, but criminal . Asking for interference with our election process is the number one impeachable offense.
the issue is biden admitted it. why is this ignoredWould you believe Biden’s denials, for example? I doubt it. But you have no problem with accepting the denials of someone very few Americans have heard of?
