Can you imagine a worse reason to start a civil war?

If you listen to what Obama said, it's reasonable to infer that he was worried that what he and the Russians had in mind, might have hurt his chances of getting re elected, so he asked them to wait until after his last election. Because once he was no longer answerable to us, he's have "more flexibility" to go along with what the Russians wanted to do.

It's not exactly the same as what Trump did. But it's not a stretch, to say that Obama asked a foreign power to delay missile talks because it would help him get elected.

You really think they don't all do this? As Detbuch said, if Trump gets a great trade deal with China, that will help him get re elected. So is he not allowed to pursue that?

I don't think that investigating Biden, when there's that much evidence of corruption, is "interfering" with the election. Knowing more facts about what took place, improves our ability to make an informed vote, it doesn't interfere with it.
