Is *a* president's reelection in the public interest??

The President absolutely should investigate corruption in all forms, ESPECIALLY where it's our money being potentially abused by a foreign government.

If Biden is crooked, would you really want him in office?

If you're looking for an alternative to Trump for 2020, don't you want to know of this guy is dirty before he's the only choice on the ballot for the democrats? I know I do.
If it was a legitimate investigation, why was he using his personal lawyer as his errand boy rather than going through the official, appropriate channels? Why was the aid released after he knew he was under investigation, but before Ukraine did anything to prove there was no corruption either domestically or on the part of any company?

“Continue his crime spree”? What evidence of any crime on Biden’s part is there? And given that Trump is a proven grifter - fraudulent charities and Trump University - does that disqualify him from the Presidency?
The purpose of a personal lawyer was and still is the Mueller investigation.

Yes. Which makes him an extremely odd choice for a secret government investigation of corruption in Ukraine that an actual government employee later called a “domestic political errand”. Particularly when the same personal lawyer has said he was working in the interests of his client, not the country.

We have all sorts of laws that limit a person from doing anything he wants because he thinks it’s best if he’s elected. So, no.

First, it’s not the left, it’s the majority of citizens who want him impeached. You keep forgetting you’re in the minority in clinging to the lie that it was about investigating Biden. It wasn’t. This has been proven and verified and as long as you refuse to read anything and repeat the same thing over and over you will never get it. You are part of the low information minority.

You can’t be serious.
First, yes. Whenever there’s corruption it should be investigated. But then do it openly and lawfully. Trump didn’t do that. He did it in a shady manner and abusing his position to pressure a foreign government by withdrawing economic aid into getting the results he wanted. In one word: blackmail.
If Biden is crooked? How naive of you. In politics EVERYONE is crooked to a certain degree. Trump is one of the most crooked people on the planet, do YOU want him in office?
At this point I actually prefer Biden to either Trump or Sanders. Because both of them are disastrous to America. I would take a guy who did a crooked thing but that could be a good leader than 2 guys who are probably equally crooked and each can hurt America.

"If the president does something that he thinks will help him get elected, in the public interest, that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment."

Is this really what you want to go with?
Dershowitz should be disbarred.


I don't expect any better from someone who was Epstein's lawyer.

That's a ridiculous statement, especially considering who's occupying the WH right now. Are you sure you want us to go down this road?

Then why isn't he investigating Saudi Arabia or Israel or Egypt or...?

Trump is a crook. Do you deny that?

If you're not looking for an alternative to Trump, you must be happy with a crook occupying the highest office and the remnant that is the GOP. I don't want either of them.
