Your opinion is irrelevant but funnyfirst you need to give your proof that the president used the aid for personal gain before you can make such a comment.It’s a non-sequitor Mrs Ernst. The question isn’t whether aid should be sent to Ukraine. That issue was settled by a Congressional appropriation. The question was whether the president has the authority to use that aid to get a personal, political benefit.
He was only going through his personal attorney. He was not using any legitimate means of investigation. He was pushing for a public announcement.
All things you do for a personal political benefit.
Unfortunately for them, they have no proof of their allegations, and hopefully we will start and continue rooting out our corrupt lifelong establishment politicians.
If Biden Wasn’t Impeached Over Quid Pro Quo, Trump Shouldn’t Be Either
Americans Aren’t Stupid
The issue on the table is not whether the president committed “high crimes and misdemeanors” however ill-defined these terms may be. The real question is whether behavior that has already been found not to constitute “high crimes and misdemeanors” for one candidate can still be found to constitute “high crimes and misdemeanors” for another candidate.
The American people are not stupid. In fact, they tend to exhibit uncommon wisdom and foresight at the presidential ballot box. If the past is prologue, Trump is well on his way to a second term while Biden won’t even be able to find his way to his own party’s nomination.
If there is a silver lining in all of this, it is that Congress is investigating prospective corruption rather than passing intrusive and economy-killing legislation. Had the 2016 presidential election been decided differently, corruption would be standard operating procedure.
