Trump did not demand that a government prosecutor be fired. Trump alerted Ukraine to that possible criminal activity.
O.o
Wait wait wait. Trump told The Ukrainian government that Biden threatened them 4 years ago?! Either Trump has been in politics way longer than I thought or the Ukrainians are really slow to get a message.
Also: he didn't ask for a persecutor to be fired, he asked for an investigation to be announced. One that had already been done years ago.
It was Biden who demanded that a government prosecutor be fired, with explicit threats.
He absolutely did. To root out corruption. Which is ironic since Trump claims to be doing the same thing but has issues with Biden doing it. And also only when Biden became a serious contender to the election...
This is quite rich!
Biden, "...a serious contender to the election (presidency)."
What is the going rate for comedy sketch writers nowadays?
Trump didn't threaten anyone in that call. Ukraine's president said he didn't feel pressured. Biden appears to be making a direct threat, however.
Listen, I hear your struggling. I know you need that bank loan I've been holding up. Speaking of that, I need a favor.....
Its cute how you think only explicit threats are threats.
Its also cute how you think a man who desperately needs Trump to like him, would turn on him. That's like asking Republicans up for reelection to go against Trump publically.
Also also: Biden threatened to hold up money. Trump actually did. For months.
What evidence do you have Trump held up the money because he wanted dirt on Joe Biden?
Is it akin to the "evidence" of RUSSIAN COLLUSION!?!? (of which there was ZERO!)
"As far as withholding funds, those funds were paid. They were fully paid. But my complaint has always been, and I'd withhold again and I'll continue to withhold until such time as Europe and other nations contribute to Ukraine because they're not doing it," Trump said Tuesday as he arrived at the United Nations ahead of his speech to the General Assembly.
Your evidence is this: "I believe he is not telling the truth!"
LMMFAO!!!
Oh, and the lazy schtick you and the other peeps want to pass off as republican support of Trump?
Please stop, as Trump only ran and was elected as a Republican...this truly hasn't meant a hill of beans for a long, long time in the US...Republican and Democrat is only a fictitious wall, erected by criminals.
It is interesting that you think the situation is okay because you call a prosecutor corrupt. I am sure that you think that the prosecutor investigating the company that Biden's son worked for at the time of his dismissal was purely a coincidence, I am sure.
"The investigation dealt with the Ministry of Ecology, which allegedly granted special permits to Burisma between 2010 and 2012, the agency said. Hunter Biden did not join the company until 2014."
-USA Today
Also apparently, Bush's old CIA Counter Terrorism Chief joined that company in 2017. Coincidence? Yeah, probably.
But let me break down the arguments.
Biden and the international community used leverage to help clean out corruption in Ukraine. Trump calls this criminal because there was a link to Biden's son. The Ukrainian government found no wrong doings with Biden's son being hired.
Trump says he withheld Aide and used it as leverage because he ignored his own defense analysis and wanted to ensure Ukraine was not corrupt. But apparently found it ok to send the aide after a whistleblower report was sent to Congress.
Have I got that right?
No.
