Trump never said nor implied that Ukraine should announce any investigation into the Bidens. BTW, they should investigate it as should the US. It was nefarious at best.
That only flies if you take it in isolation, and not what Rudy and his crew were doing in trying to get that investigation.
How long do you think Rudy is going to go along with being the "Fall Guy" for this? Because that's what he's being set up for.
Much of the top brass, yes. Have you read comments by these folks? You can't actually believe they are unbiased.
yeah, I've read the comments...
Here's the thing. Trump is unfit for office mentally, intellectually and in terms of temperament and experience. BOTH parties know this, and the gag for the last three years is trying to distract him like a cranky toddler to keep him from doing anything really stupid or dangerous.
This time he ran out in the middle of the street.
In Reality.... Unemployment is at a historic lows, especially for American Blacks, Women, Other Minorities, and Veterans. The Stock Market is at an all time high. Wages are at the fastest increase in decades. The Caliphate is gone and the top 2 ISIS leaders are feeding worms.
In reality, Trump inherited a growing economy, full employment, low unemployment, record stock market, a defeated ISIS, and a bunch of dead terrorists.
1. In reality, Trump inherited a stagnant economy, the DOW was flat-lining due to democrat policies:

4. So your partisan lies are very easy to disprove. Thanks for playing.
Nothing you have said is true.
Now that's just the beginning.
Donald Trump takes credit for gains against ISIS but there's more to the story
President Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to hit the Islamic State hard, and the armed fundamentalist group has suffered major losses on his watch.
In July, coalition forces broke ISIS' hold on Mosul, the largest Iraqi city under their control. In October, they were forced out of Raqqa, the Syrian city the Islamic State claimed as the capital of their would-be caliphate.
During a news conference, Trump drew a sharp contrast with his predecessor in the White House.
"We have done more in eight months than the previous administration has done in many years," Trump said Oct. 25.
Based on numbers from the battlefield and the assessment of terrorism analysts, Trump can rightly claim that he built on the work done under President Barack Obama, but he can’t take full ownership of the gains that followed.
Sorties and munitions
Numbers tell only part of the story, but Pentagon figures on the missions flown and the explosives rained down on ISIS put the first months of the Trump administration into context.
The campaign to defeat ISIS took shape in September 2014 under the name of Operation Inherent Resolve. According to
U.S. Air Force Central Command data, coalition forces engaged the enemy nearly 33,000 times between the launch of the operation and September 2017. (The Air Force includes strikes taking place in August 2014.)
Counting only sorties in which at least one weapon was released, about three-fourths of the action took place during the Obama years.
The Air Force reports over 102,000 missiles, bombs and other explosives dropped in the course of the campaign. Over two-thirds of that came before Trump took office.
Loss of territory
By late August 2014, the Islamic State controlled about
35,000 square miles. The defense data firm IHS Markit mapped the terrorist group’s declining influence between 2015 and 2017. The ISIS zones are in gray.
The maps show that most of the territorial collapse of ISIS took place during the Trump administration. But defense experts say that what the maps don’t show are the offensive operations that began under Obama. The battle for Mosul, for example, began in October 2016, about four months before Trump took office.
The collapse was a continuation of what had begun earlier. Between the start of 2015 and February 2016,
IHS reported that ISIS had lost 22 percent of the territory it once controlled.
A drawn-out effort
Some defense analysts criticize Obama for not moving quickly enough to confront the Islamic State. Anthony Cordesman at the Center for Strategic and International Studies said the Obama administration was "grindingly slow" to get air power and equipment into the region. But that changed rapidly through 2015.
"Virtually all were in place before the Trump administration came to office, along with virtually all of the key arms transfers and other assistance that went to Iraqi forces and the Syrian forces supported by the U.S," Cordesman said.
Under Trump, the tempo of airstrikes increased, and military commanders were given greater
leeway to order attacks. But Cordesman said that represented no great shift in overall strategy.
"Trump deserves credit for fully implementing the plan and some limited improvements, but it is nonsense for him to take credit for a program his predecessor had largely put in place," he said.
Trump takes full credit for gains against ISIS. Should he?
Trump inherits Obama boom
On the campaign trail, Donald Trump repeatedly described the U.S. economy as a hollowed-out disaster of high unemployment and stagnant growth.
But the latest numbers show the president-elect will in fact inherit a fairly robust economy with the lowest jobless rate in nearly a decade, record home and stock prices and a healthy growth rate.

Donald Trump Inherits a Booming American Economy
It has been eight years since the mortgage crisis and subsequent collapse of the United States economy. Former President Barrack Obama has left the oval office, handing the keys to the kingdom over to American businessperson and entrepreneur Donald J. Trump.
The 45th president of the United States has wasted no time getting his executive agenda underway. Ruffling the feathers of Democrats and Republicans alike, President Trump has swiftly and abruptly enacted executive orders to fulfil the promises he made on the campaign trail.
One of these promises was to bring business back to America with a focus on financial reform. When former President Barrack Obama took office, he inherited the worst economy in living memory.
As President Trump begins his administration, what is the current state of the economy? Between all the promises, appointments and scrutiny, the President has not so quietly inherited a booming American Economy.
