more then that.
Recall we have an anti-corruption treaty with Ukraine,and Trump was rightly concerned about Zelensky being more of the same. That's the motivation for Trump to "look into Biden" request - not vague political gain (impeachment).
The withholding, the asking about the Bidens are concurrent with Trump not wanting to give corrupt foreign aid.
Trump hates that.
Trump's problem is he knows what to say, and how to do his presidency -
but he blew up the Press Sec ability for message control.
Meaning that is the ONLY WAY to effectively get sound bytes on the air to counter the drone of 96% unfavorable
Trump coverage - daily push back in sound byte per-packed formula for viewer consumption

Nepotism wish a hefty dash of conflict of interest.
Biden claimed that no one told him it was a conflict of interest or something to the effect—he’s either stupid or lying. Biden was appointed to look after Ukraine and clean it up, by Obama. While at the same time, Hunter was being paid [for what, exactly?] by Burisma to sit on their board.
And it happens that Burisma was under investigation in and around the same time as the glaring conflict of interest, but the investigation was suspended for reasons that are less than crystal clear—and Burisma was never investigated again, while Hunter was sitting on their board for 50K/month.
I think ‘probable cause’ is the appropriate term.

or 'reasonable suspicion' appearance of'conflict of interest' at least for an investigation. All good points.
Biden wants us to believe he and Hunter NEVER DISCUSSED their roles in Uk. That's even plausible if they were both of the mindset to >squeeze juice< Burisma thru Joe's clout. Whether they verbalized it or not makes no difference

Substitute the word Biden with Trump and that cozy little arrangement would have been investigated by now lol.
Just imagine Trump allowing Junior to sit on the board of directors of Burisma in or around the time Burisma was under investigation. Imagine further, that Trump boasted about doing a QPQ on the Ukrainians during the same time frame.
Democrats would want both of their heads on a pike.
Democrats can’t/won’t admit it, but there is sufficient *probable cause* for an investigation into the Biden’s and Burisma/Ukraine and if the shoe was on the other foot—the investigation would have happened by now.

I would have to say that most of the witnesses who testify in courts all over the country are not charged with anything or on trial.......it does happen however that a witness says something on the stand that causes them to be charged with something or end up being on trial........

really?.........aren't there several possible scenarios where withholding would be proper or even unavoidably necessary?......as far as the whistler is concerned, besides his name, all we know is that he didn't actually hear the conversation he whistled about and that his report was drafted in cooperation with Schiff's staff......
