    The question is the motive, but the timing lines up for something sketchy for sure.

    So you care about that, but not the perfect phone call where Trump told Ukraine they wouldn't get aid unless they announced that they were investigating Biden?

    Yes Biden demanded that Shokin the prosecutor general be fired as condition of foreign aid as did the EU and the IMF and it was not because he was investigating corruption it was because he was corrupt.
    Speaking of timing
    Envoys pushed to oust Ukraine prosecutor before Biden

    Since you mentioned the defeated former president, it seems to me that the Republican obsession with Hunter Biden is almost motivated entirely by an attempt to deflect from Donald Trump's much more serious legal problems.

    Only right wingers could twist themselves into believing ousting a corrupt foreign politician is a smoking gun. o_O

    So, if I understand all this correctly. Trump gets impeached because his call where he suggests they should investigate Hunter. Nothing needs to happen to Biden when he demands that they fire the prosecutor in charge of the investigation of the company that his son works for.
    Read that several times before you respond that is not a double standard.

    Dig 1 cm deeper. The firing of Shokin was official US policy, also official EU policy, as well as the wishes of the World Bank. Biden was following this policy when asking for Shokin to be fired before cosigning the loan. What official US policy was Trump following along for dirt on the Bidens?

    You don't understand this correctly.

    Trump got impeached for withholding US approved aid in exchange for a PERSONAL request to investigate Biden.

    Biden did not get impeached because he withheld US approved aid in exchange for Ukraine taking US and ALLY FOREIGN APPROVED POLICY action to remove a corrupt prosecutor.

    Biden = carrying out US foreign policy
    Trump = personal favor

    It seems that you may also be afflicted with TDS. It seems that you are bringing up the name of the former president more frequently than the "libbies".

    Just one correction. Trump didn't really care if they investigated Biden, they just had to announce that they were and Trump and "the Republicans would take care of the rest."

    Most outrageous phone call ever, and the QOP couldn't care less.

    No. Wrong. The EU and others told Ukraine to fire Shokin. Because Shokin was a Russia loyalist. And corrupt. And part of that was that he want prosecuting Burisma. Those weee the contemporary facts, not the right wing fantasy land that has developed since.

    No. Trump was impeached because he extorted Ukraine. He demanded the investigation to help his campaign and insisted it be announced publicly. And when they refused, Trump cut off military aid.

    In a way it's not dissimilar to the multiple Congressional investigations of Hunter Biden. The probability that the investigations will never find any wrongdoing on the part of Joe Biden is irrelevant, the Republicans are in the process of "taking care of the rest."

    And here I thought Trump was impeached because the impeachment over Russian hookers peeing on his bed failed.
