but the other article you did link acknowledges it doesn't apply.....

But the DOJ ultimately concluded that “the information discussed on the call didn’t amount to a ‘thing of value’ that could be quantified, which is what the campaign finance laws require.”

There is something that has been bugging me about this whole Republican denial thing. I have not heard the pundits discuss this.

The Trump sycophants have been loudly proclaiming that the President has done nothing wrong. They have been saying that he was conducting official business, not working for himself on our dime.

They say his request for Ukraine to investigate Biden and his son was an effort to 'combat corruption.' (absurd because only Biden and son were singled out.)

OK, if we go with that, then why does the President's personal lawyer have ANYTHING to do with it?

Rudy Giuliani doesn't work for the USA. He has no official position, no duties, no oath, no responsibility to the United States of America. We don't pay him. He works for Donald Trump. Trump pays him. He answers only to Trump.

Why is he even involved with this thing?

Why is the President sending his personal lawyer to meet with Ukrainian officials to do official business?

It doesn't pan out.

It's not right.

This was not official business.

President Trump is working for himself, not US.

Self defense. This personal lawyer is investigating the origin of the false charges presented by the left in relation to a supposed Conspiracy/Collusion with a foreign nation, not in the current 2020 election cycle but in the previous 2016 election cycle. Show us the law that prohibits such action. :dunno: Rudy has the goods......have you noticed how Corrupt Joe is making the rounds demanding that the media stop giving this private lawyer AIR TIME? Joe is scared shitless. :thinking: Originally JOE did not want to run for POTUS......things began to get hot, he assumed he would be shielded from investigation if he were running for president....he thought the press would rush to his defense and declare it ILLEGAL to investigate an opposing candidate.

You have been baited again. Now all this is in the public sphere...for everyone to view....like it or not who do you think THE PEOPLE will believe....a congress with a 14% approval rating, a media that is caught almost daily promoting propaganda and fake news, a corrupt politician caught bragging about using his power to make a quid pro que deal while threatening a foreign nation.....or THE PRESIDENT they elected to clean up both, corrupt politicians and corrupt media outlets that helped leak national security information like a proverbial SEIVE?:bigthink:

Oh, but that's just the law. Why should Trump care about THAT?

Laws don't apply to HIM.

He doesn't see any reason why asking the Ukrainian President to contribute a political thing of value to him would be against the law for HIM. He's the PRESIDENT.
