No quid pro quo and it was a conversation between 2 heads of State, not between a "candidate" and a foreign operative. I'm sure, if you read transcripts of President obama's conversations with foreign leaders while he was POTUS (and probably before and after) you would find similar favors asked and in the case of Joe Biden's conversations, quid pro quo was demanded.This is much ado about nothing and the world feel slightly embarrassed for the Democrat Party. This shit proves Democrats are irrational and incapable of competent leadership.
Quid pro quo is not a required element of the law in question. And despite being a "conversation between two heads of state," trump is still a candidate campaigning for an upcoming election and it's still illegal to solicit aid for his campaign from a foreign national.
So when obama was running for his second term and he used AF1 for "official business" and attended 4 dinners and said "hello" to the Mayor, you were OK? Didn't hear you speaking out there.
Donald Trump is President of the United States and can talk to any head of State he wants to for any reason at all. Did President Trump threaten a billion in foreign aid? Oops! That was Joe Biden. Where is your outrage over that? You're being just plain silly here boy.
LOL
What the **** does that have to do with it being illegal to solicit campaign help from foreign nationals?
Dayum, righties are ******* brain-dead.
So Biden did some shady stuff acting as the Vice President of the US and the current President, who Constitutionally has the full executive power of the federal government, shouldn't be able to ask the government of the country where the shady stuff was going on, to investigate? I've got news for you...he has every right to do so given the suspicious circumstances around Biden's activities in Ukraine. He also has the ability to ask them to try to get to the bottom of the dirty dossier, the roots of which were in Ukraine. If he had gone to Canada and requested they try to dig up some dirt on Biden, that would likely be illegal, assuming there was no suspicion of wrong-doing by Biden in that country.
Correct. The accusation is that Trump is going after a political opponent, and he doesn't' even know who that opponent will be yet. As of now, Biden is sinking in the polls so it's not likely it will be him.
The President is asking a leader of a foreign country to look into possible illegalities by a representative of our country. Nothing wrong or illegal about it. This will not be a US investigation yet, it will be a Ukrainian investigation.
