To help get elected? Of course that’s illegal dope
Except that the Ukraine investigation of Hunter Biden would only help Trump get elected if an actual crime had been committed by Hunter Biden. In which case it is not only legal for Trump to investigate, but it is require for him to investigate.
The only way this could be illegal for Trump is if he was forcing some Ukrainian to claim there was a crime by Hunter Biden when that was not actually true.
Not true. Just opening an investigation hurts Biden (which helps Trump), regardless of the outcome. Just like when Comey opened one against Hillary after early voting had already begun, even though Comey later admitted there was no reason to open the investigation.
I disagree.
Clearly Hunter Biden being paid millions did warrant an investigation, as well as reopening Hillary's email investigation when Weiner's laptop showed lots of Hillary email that had already been subpoenaed.
An investigation not only should not make any difference, but is required by law.
What is illegal is to prevent, end, or squash any sort of investigation.
Comey never admitted anything. He just said that the Weiner laptop proved to provide no additional evidence of any wrong doing. That could not be determined until after it was investigated. Comey still says he did the right thing, and I tend to agree. Those who would change their vote over the laptop would have to be idiots, because before being examined, the laptop should have meant nothing at all.
