As i've said before.
If Floridaman had mounted an aggressive campaign against corruption in countries that we give foreign aid to and Biden had fallen into that web, it would be hard to make the case that Floridaman was targeting his political opponent. Floridaman is not smart enough to do that and has consistently cut funding for anti-corruption efforts. But Biden was also just an unlucky byproduct of Floridaman's attempt to blame Russian interference on Ukraine per his orders. His interference in Ukraine started prior to Biden's announcement and was initially an attempt to clear or at a minimum protect Manafort (remember the Senators letter and date predates Biden's announcement by almost a year) and provide cover for the Russian attempts to interfere in our elections.


Using that logic, isn’t it also asking a foreign power to interfere in our elections, when Obama asked a Russian official to postpone missile talks until after his 2012 re election? We all know that conversation, we all
know exactly what it meant, Obama didn’t want to have to answer to voters what he was planning on doing with Russia and missiles.

Not negotiating is like asking for something?

But actually if you look into it you'll find that both countries were in an election cycle and agreed to have the discussions continue. These things do take years even without the added pressure of elections and who knew ----------- would be so hard.

You better tell Floridaman that you think it's an impeachable offense, cause he just told China that he can't cut a deal to end his trade war till after the election, though as anyone knows that could change at any minute.
