Using an office to increase his family’s personal gain is exactly what Joe


Biden did as VP and then he withheld 1 Billion of US aid to quash the investigation of Bursima.

It’s established that the delay in aid wasn’t even known about by the leadership of Ukraine.

The POTUS sets foreign policy. We should investigate corruption in one of the most corrupt countries in the world which has lost billions of US aid. That’s our tax dollars. If someone cannot be investigated because they’re involved in politics or running for office, that’s a terrible precedent.

It’s not unique at all for a US President to use his office’s power to increase his political power/capital; all of them do it. If he had said on the call that he’d send the aid only after 500M was placed in a bank account, I wouldn’t argue with you. That’s an impeachable offense. These just aren’t. The fact that the Clinton Foundation was set up in part to sell foreign access to enrich Bill & Hillary is obvious. Take a look how its donations have plummeted since she lost the election. Clear example of abuse of power that’s largely ignored on the left.
