DS> There is, but you are putting the exact opposite spin on what happened DS> and WHY. It was done as an official policy of the US Government and our DS> allies. It was not done for any individual's personal gain. GD> You left out the part that talks about the prosecutor who was fired GD> was investigating Hunter Biden and Burisa because the CEO of that GD> company had direct ties to leadership with the country of Ukraine. I did not leave it out since it was not there. You are creating alternative facts. Here is the true facts: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/c-span-video-joe-biden-ukraine/ [quote]However, Shokin was not fired for investigating Burisma, but for his failure to pursue corruption investigations -- including investigations connected to Burisma. And Biden wasn't alone in the effort to push Shokin out, but rather was spearheading the Obama administration's policy, which represented a consensus among diplomats, officials from various European countries, and the International Monetary Fund that Shokin was an impediment to rooting out corruption in his country, according to Bloomberg[/quote]. I.e. he was fired for *NOT* investigating Burisma (and other corruption). GD> What is wrong with the President asking about what really happened GD> there. Nothing, because it is written within the U.S. Constitution GD> that he must. What is wrong is that asking for a foreign government to help Trump's election campaign is a federal violation of campaign finace laws, whether he got such aid or not. Plus withholding money appropriated by Congress the way that he did was also against the law. Plus it hurt an ally in their fight against an invading adversary, namely Russia. GD> Normally at the back-end of an impeachment there are evident crimes GD> that are known but at the end of this impeachment there are no crimes GD> that were committed by the President that would indicate the reason why GD> he was impeached. No crimes what so ever. BZZT -- see above. There were multiple crimes. Dale Shipp fido_261_1466 (at) verizon (dot) net (1:261/1466) ....
