    That's fine but has nothing to do with the fact that Trump, acting like a mob boss, attempted to exhort dirt on his supposed opponent, from the Ukrainian President. That's the Crime. I can imagine the whoops and hollers from Republicans IF a Democrat does the same. That's the Hypocrisy.

    Asking to have information on corruption forwarded to the AG is not trying to get dirt on an opponent, especially since this supposed opponent should already be barred from office. At the very least, definitely Vice President Biden and probably President Obama should have been impeached and removed from office for this corruption.

    However, that the Obama administration and key operatives were working desperately, surreptitiously to undermine first the campaign and then the presidency of Trump makes their Burisma corruption seem like small potatoes. Yet the Dems want to impeach Trump. Dem hypocrisy, aka Democrisy, knows no bounds.

    So, what IF Trump colluded with the Ukrainians ? What POTUS after Wilson didn't ?

    FDR colluded with Stalin, Chiang Kai-Shek, & even Mao. Bush with Saddam Hussein, & some Chilean rebels to eliminate Allende, Obama with Iran's Khameini. It's called "Diplomacy". ALL world leaders do it. How often have US leaders colluded with British leaders ?

    That's the reason Trump thinks his call was "perfect". Trump didn't say, "send it to me", but to send it to his biggest lackey, his personal Attorney General, Barr. He's so dumb that he thinks that will keep him out of Jail. These Bumpkins are so stupid, they think they can get away with it.

    Go ahead and let old, brilliant, mob boss acting President Trump get away with it and next you will lose all the freedoms we have today. The Destroyer of our freedom's MUST be stopped. I prefer Pence to serve out Trump's term, even if he pardons the crook Trump in the process. Amen?

    Amen. Let us all bow to the Dictator who dreams of being President for Life. Many hypocritical republicans will probably allow the destruction of our world IF oh, so, wonderful Trump will allow them just a few million. Love of Money is the root of ALL evil. 1Ti 6:10 Don't you know who Trump is?
