The chair of the Federal Election Commission made it very clear that soliciting anything from a foreign national is illegal. They left nothing to question as to how it is to be interpreted.

This article explains why Hunter Biden working for Burisma created a conflict of interest. The person running the oil company was being investigated for abusing his public office and money laundering. It doesn't say what happened to the investigation.
What Trump should have done is to have had officials in the Republican party asking about this. If the prosecutor being fired halted the investigation, people other than Trump could've raised this concern.
But the Republican party might be too aggressive to consider how to make something like this known. It's whatever they want to do without caring about Due Diligence, Due Process or Rule of Law.

Nope. You adopted the unsubstantiated position of some political hack who is desperate to be relevant ... so I'm asking you about your assertion that Trump broke a law.

Which law?

Obviously if no law is broken then no law is broken.

It shall be unlawful for-
(1) a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make-
(A) a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value, or to make an express or implied promise to make a contribution or donation, in connection with a Federal, State, or local election;

(2) a person to solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation described in subparagraph (A) or (B ) of paragraph (1) from a foreign national.

The Mueller report pointed out that there isn't a precedent for non-monetary violations of 30121. Is working against Biden a thing of value in the election for Trump? Yes. Yes it is. (I just checked with Captain Obvious)

I still don't get how this has anything to do with the election. Maybe after the primaries, but I still don't see Joe making it that far, still a large herd. They'll be getting down and dirty before Christmas. Now, if Biden is corrupt, been selling favors, to get his son some high paying jobs, and who knows what else. Shouldn't that be the focus? Do we really want Biden as president, knowing he would sell his office, for the right price, and several countries aware of it. Would the countries he's already built a filthy relationship with, be inclined to do what the can to meddle, to insure their bought US politician wins in 2020? Firing that Ukraine prosecutor for $1 billion in loan guarantees, seems like a high price. That prosecutor was only in office for about a year. Had to be something more, than just a little slow in getting results. All ended pretty quick too, for a case, that wasn't being investigated. Where was Trump to go, if many of the same people, who didn't look into it in 2016, are still the ones who would be asked to take another look? Trump would still have had to work things out with the Ukraine president, since they need to agree to letting us look through their records and documents. If Biden has nothing to hide, he has nothing to fear. There seems to be a lot of frightened people on Capital Hill, since Joe would have needed help...

Watergate was entirely pointless as Nixon won in a landslide. One of the most decisive wins ever.

Two separate issues here:
1 - Trump: Can a politician use their office to go after political rivals? Can a president ask a foreign government to work against a political opponent?
2 - Did Biden do something that should be investigated? What was it? ECT.

It is not the president's job to investigate everything directly. We have multiple agencies for that as does the Ukraine.

Avoiding conflicts of interest is bedrock to a fair and uncorrupted government. You find it everywhere as policy.

tmiddles, the law states running for public office. If Trump weren't running and Biden was, it would be illegal. This why I mentioned that people in the Republican party could have asked for clarification on what happened without involving a foreign national.
Since the issue in Ukraine was about corruption, even Ukranians thought it created a conflict of interest when Hunter Biden became a board member of Barumis.
Joe Biden should have prevented his son from taking that position which he could have done. He could've told Ukraine do not let his son have any positions in Ukraine.
Joe Biden did not do that. He shouldn't be running for office because he is willing to compromise US policy. This is where if Republicans thought this through they could've just said that when Ukraine is fighting corruption and Both parties wants the prosecutor removed, the Vice President's son is appointed to the board of a Ukranian oil company with no experience. And that company is involved in an ongoing corruption investigation.
That would involve no foreign nationals.
That would've put the Biden's in the spotlight.

The only reason Hunter got the job in the first place, was that his dad was VP, and had direct access to Obama. Now, we don't if Joe suggested they hire his son, or if the gas company offered. It would be interesting to find out, if Joe used his office for personal gain, by getting his son a high paying, 'respectable' job. It is a serious issue, since Joe Biden would have been in a position of compromise, they had leverage. Did Joe and the White House do any favors, to keep the corruption investigation quite? I think so, one year as the head prosecutor, is a short career, which he wouldn't have been given, if grossly incompetent.

Basically, if Joe was compromised in 2016, he still would be on the hook. We need to be sure, since he would be signing off on aid check, sending over weapons, and everything else requested.

I don't believe Trump ran a dirty campaign last time, least not of much as Hilary. Don't think he needs to play dirty with Joe, or any of them. He's been doing pretty good, considering the House tries to stop him at every turn. Will only cooperate, if the benefit most. Took them 2 years, just to admit there was an illegal immigration problem. Even then, they still want open borders, and more free money (humanitarian aid), which would only encourage more to rush the border.

To make you happy ITN, if a foreign national intervened in an election and it was found out that you solicited said intervention, you would have broken the law. The question is, when we have evidence of a crime having been committed, do we ignore it?
People are arrested and prosecuted for various types of solicitation. Solicitation can be considered as conspiring to commit said act.

I don't live on a reservation. Even if I did, they do matter. Reservations are federal land. They are part of the United States. Each one votes the same as the State they are located in. In Washington, the electoral college members are chosen by popular vote. Being on a reservation makes no difference.

I've never heard of Native Americans not being US citizens. Isn't anyone born on American soil, automatically, an American citizen. The reservations are still on American land, and reserved for the use of Native Americans. They still have to adhere to federal law. The are exempt from state and local laws, and govern themselves. Kind of why gambling is big business on many of them, in state that don't allow casino gambling.

You CAN'T be surprised, since there WAS a Mueller Investigation, that people are looking into this.

Don't you think Mueller would have just said "so what, it's not illegal to work with foreign governments to influence a US election, I'm going home"

There was no pressure, only very cordial diplomatic cooperation ... which was very refreshing.

I think Zelenskyy is appreciative of the U.S. alerting him to wrongdoing that occurred in his country.

Godfather I, strong arm tactics illustrated
The Corleones ask (nicely) that Jack Woltz give Johnny Fontane a part in a movie. They don't threaten him at all while asking.

Later! (not during the conversation but later) they do this:


The strong arm tactic after the cordial request underlines the importance.

Now for $250,000,000 or $400,000,000 you could put a lot of horse heads in my bed and I'd take the money every time.

Your total hypocrisy is that this is EXACTLY hat Biden did and you call that corrupt.

So you don't think using the office of the president to pressure a foreign government to investigate an opponent is dirty?


Trump didn't pressure anyone. Biden did, though.

He didn't hold any money back either to pressure the Ukrainian government on anything.

What is it about being a Democrat politician that you believe renders one free to commit crimes with impunity?

What is it about Republican politicians that you believe requires their attempts to make the US great be utterly thwarted?

You're pretending that Biden's flagrant corruption shouldn't be addressed, and that Trump should bear a stigma for having addressed it.

Your total hypocrisy is that you want to transfer Biden's (Democrat) corruption to Trump (Republican). There was nothing wrong whatsoever with Trump offering to work with Zelenskyy to rectify previous American corruption that negatively affected Ukraine. Biden probably shouldn't have bragged about his corruption.

Exactly, and I don't believe it's just the Bidens, it's a tradition, and been profitable for a lot of politicians. Biden is an easy catch, and it will give a lot of other countries what they need, to weed out some serious corruption. They haven't been just stealing from other countries, but still American aid money. Obama passed out quite a bit of the money he borrowed, leaving us a huge debt. Will be interesting how many American consultants flocked over to those countries to help themselves to a little free american cash...

Biden bragging on camera, opened the door to an investigation, last year. Oddly, nobody seemed interested, or offended, they laughed. Trump didn't make any direct threats, didn't look like he implied a threat either. Biden was very clear in his threat. Biden can't survive, if they continue to persecute Trump. The House democrats can only twist and imply there was a threat, and corruption. Biden confessed on camera, and implicated his boss.

I think the democrats got good control over everything over here, but not some much around the world. All those other countries looking into american activities, with their aid money, won't be silenced as easy.

Ah yes the classic Trump strategy of "Whatabout". We can't talk about Trump at all because what about someone else!

Two wrongs make a right by your Math there IBD? Is that where the radiance goes when it reaches your skin, right on to making that somehow true?

So you just don't believe in the concept of a conflict of interest? Sessions was wrong to recuse himself?

You TRUMPettes are all shredding the framework of this country while your guy is around and you forget that everything you destroy may not grow back in time for someone down the road you don't like at all.

What about Biden! No time to talk about Trump's violation of the law.

Question for you blokes: What is the difference between what Trump was accused of in the Mueller investigation, meeting with a Russian agent to get dirt on a political opponent, and this?

If your job is to pick up trash, there is no conflict of interest in you calling out the guy who littered.

You Marxists are all trying to shred the framework of this country while your Party tries to eat away at the economy.

You are correct that they are both baseless attempts to railroad Trump for what a high-profile Democrat had done.

And every job should get done! A "Conflict of Interest" acknowledged by an ethical government official simply means you let someone else do it.

Wait a minute. You're saying that the Mueller investigation was "baseless" because of what? Because Trump wasn't working with the Russians to discredit his opponent in an election? Or because it's OK to do that?

Nope. The President cannot recuse himself.

And there was no conflict of interest. It's because you are obediently hating Trump that you delude yourself into "seeing" a conflict where none exist.

There was no basis for the investigation.

Hence the word "baseless."
