    Default Simple question for all the Trump defenders and apologists:

    Can a president solicit foreign election interference?

    Should an American president be able to ask for foreign interference in U.S. elections with impunity?

    In his now infamous phone call, Trump asked Zelensky to "do a favor," to "look into" Joe Biden. After the transcript of the call was released, Trump from the lawn of the White House said publicly that "China should start an investigation into the Bidens." Shortly there after, Trump added to "Zelensky, if it were me, I would recommend that they start an investigation into the Bidens."

    Now the only answer offered to that question is that Trump was supposedly looking to expose corruption, which is about as lame as it gets.

    For three years, nothing, but in an election year we are supposed to believe now Trump is focus on corruption, especially incredulous given that the only supposed corruption he is concerned with is that of a political rival. Never any problems with any of his autocratic buddies unscrupulous behavior yet still receiving our aid, not even exposed shadiness in his own Administration, but now the Ukraine bothers Trump. Did I mention lame?

    So tell us there Trumpkins, can a president solicit foreign election interference?

    A president can investigate corruption especially from older admins.

    So tell us there Trumpkins, can a president solicit foreign election interference?

    When did Trump ask Zelensky to do him a favor and look into Joe Biden? That isn't in the transcript. What's with all the Adam Schiff lies?

    Has Biden won the Democratic Party of the Jackass nomination? I don't think so. It's rather stupid and presumptuous to assume this is about 2020.

    As I've said, always entertaining, now "truthie" denies Trump said "I would like you to do us a favor ...... find out what happened," plus, "the other thing (Bidens) if you could look into it," but "truthie" tells us Trump never said any of it

    And the Trump team had identified Biden as the top rival long before Trump's plot, and it is noticeable that you never addressed the question of why Biden is the only individual named, and it took three years for Trump to become supposedly interested now in Biden's role, strange, why suddenly this year, there were prior aid packages

    You can tell the Trumpkins are coming up short when they regurgitate the same lame video over and over again, ah, was Obama asking for Russia's aid in his election effort in that video? Was he asking for Russia to investigate a political rival?

    Did Russia do it in 2016?

    If a foreign entity, upon request by a rival, starts looking for dirt on an American running for election, dirt which can be employed to float all kinds of inneundos against that candidate in a campaign, that entity isn't playing a role in our election?

    One in which federal prosecutors can take “evidence” before a “grand jury,”

    and that grand jury can “vote to indict” a former president for 91 alleged “crimes”?
