when FDR asked england to help

So you think
What IF in 1940
FDR called Churchill
& in response to UK’s request for weapons said, “We’ve always been good to your country, but I would like to ask a favor... open an investigation on Wendell Wilkie”???

if biden didn’t want the attention, he could have easily avoided what is at a minimum, a glaring appearance of
impropriety.
again, why was it ok for democrats in the us senate to ask ukraine to investigate Trump?

Jim, it was because Ukraine wasn't cooperating with the Mueller investigation, it was about Manafort not Trump and it was made right out in public.
You're having that fruit problem again. |

oh. so if our government concludes ukraine isn’t doing its part ( which is subjective, obviously), it’s ok to pressure them
to investigate political
adversaries.
how do you know that’s not what trump did.
the fruit here, is the bananas where your brain is supposed to be.

Manafort was the subject of a criminal FBI investigation. You do know he's in Jail right now right? |

i do!
and when obama was caught on a live mic asking a russian official to hold off missile programs
until after his re election, at which time he’d “have more flexibility” to work with them...that wasn’t a president asking russia for a favor for political gain?

I don't see how that benefited him politically. He's simply saying it will be easier to come to an agreement that's beneficial to our country. |

You’re speaking I assume of the letter filed in the Senate record to Ukraine.
Who’s hiding anything there?
What personal gains do the Senators achieve?
I attached the letter, perhaps you could point out where they asked for Trump to be investigated.
