you wisely say “potentially” because you know nothing has been proven. You say it was worth looking into because you support Trump and the Dems say it wasn’t proper because both the DNC server and the Biden situations have been looked into and nothing was found. So unless Trump can explain why he used his office to go after his political opponents in such an unorthodox way then he is in trouble.Yes. If it was reasonable to suggest looking into the Biden's their entire case is in shambles. And most certainly it was reasonable to view the Biden Extortion and Bribery scheme as worth looking into. Potentially they have violated both US and Ukraine law.The president does have every right to justify his actions and interest in the Biden’s. I’m sure that’s going to be the focus on Monday. Hunter doesn’t need to testify for that though. We should not need new intel to justify old actions. Trump should lay out his case By showing what evidence he had to justify why an investigation was warranted and why going outside our normal system To ask Ukraine to announce it was the method he chose to take.The President was right to bring up the Biden's apparent corruption with his fellow President. I too would like to see them look into it, I would like our US Attorneys to look into it ias well.
Now, even though the House impeachment managers are arguing about Biden corruption allegations in their Senate presentation, the two leaders of the House impeachment inquiry, Bug-eyed Schiff and Fat Jerry, took the position that Republican claims about the Bidens were irrelevant — a partisan red herring to distract from the “real” issues. They steadfastly refused to permit witnesses on that topic (including the Bidens themselves).
Moreover, the president was denied the right to have his counsel participate in the main investigative phase, run by Bug-eyed Schiff. So, even though Bug-eyed Schiff began the House hearings with an absurd parody version of the Trump–Zelensky conversation, falsely suggesting that Trump had asked Zelensky to “make up dirt” about Biden, the House denied the president the opportunity to prove that he was actually asking for help investigating activity that, objectively, appears quite suspicious and potentially corrupt.
It is a much different scenario if there was a real basis to believe the Bidens’ conduct should be scrutinized. Joe Biden is not immune from investigation just because he is running for president — certainly no more than the president himself is immune (which, obviously, he’s not).
The president has to be given an opportunity to prove his rebuttal case. A trial is not a trial, not in the American tradition, if prosecutors are permitted to level a serious accusation and then deny the accused the right to mount a defense.
Trump Impeachment Trial: Democrats’ Burisma Bait and Switch | National Review
Trump really doesn't have to lay out any case at all or testify.
He is presumed innocent, and the Libs have not proved their case beyond a reasonable doubt. I think that there is reason to think that the Bidens are up to no good, particularly considering their involvement in the cocaine and prostitution rackets. And that is reasonable doubt.
IMHO, I think its almost a point of certitude that President Trump is going to be exonerated in the trial.
The only question is when.
It appears that Trump even has the support of sworn enemies like Pierre Delecto in the Senate- it looks like he is ready to run the board and have every single Republican as well as some fair thinking Dems voting for his exoneration.
