      The Ukrainians appear to have grounds (assuming their laws are similar to ours) but I don't see any against Trump at this stage when there is already an open question of wrongdoing in the Ukraine matter. 'Looks fishy' isn't sufficient.
      I was actually talking about Biden's link to the Ukraine, not Trump. I actually believe Trump set this up, knowing he didn't do anything wrong, so that the story would eventually reflect on Biden and his son.

        So would having a daddy who is VP of the US and has enough clout to force a foreign government to drop an investigation into his son's corrupt company. $50,000/mo might have been a bargain!

          You guys? You have no idea what you're talking about. I didn't even know of the Trump tower project until long after the Trump campaign investigation began, and I still don't know what's going on with that. No doubt, knowing Trump as we do, it's a crooked deal of some sorts though.

            So what, that's a fact of life, and not a crime.

            There you go with the unsubstantiated accusations again. See if you can come up with something real, instead of just slander, MM. I doubt you can.

                They don't, Trump and the blind lemmings who idolize the con man, do.

                  You think Trump set it up, and you think that the DNI head and the Atty Gen is in on it as well? That in itself would be an impeachable abuse of power.

                    Dude, Joe said so himself, in front of television cameras!

                    I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor, and they didn't. So they said, as we were walking out to the press conference, they kind of said no; and I said, "I'm not going-- or we're not going to give you the billion dollars." They said, "You have no authority. You're not the president; the president said--" I said, "Call him." I said, "I'm telling you, you're not getting a billions dollars." I said, "You're not getting a billion. I'm leaving here--" I think it was about six-hours. I looked, I said, "I'm leaving in six-hours." I said, "If the prosecutor's not fired, you're not getting the money." Oh, son of a [beep] got fired!



                    And don't forget, the Ukrainian government found this whole episode distasteful enough that they have repeatedly petitioned the US government to investigate, even to the point of hiring a US attorney to hand deliver evidence to Federal prosecutors in New York!

                      If it was intentionally set up, it depends on how it was set up. It could simply be a case where information was knowingly leaked to a person they knew would betray his admin and go to the press. However, that part isn't clear at the moment. One thing is clear, I'm guessing not many folks would know about the Biden/Hunter Ukraine connection if this hadn't happened, and so conveniently close to election, and the more the issue is sensationalized by the MSM, the more this information will get out to general public.

                              And Biden is so whacked out he took the bait and is stupid enough to keep this in the news --- it can't hurt Trump, but it can sure backfire on Biden.
