Wow, asking to announce that they're looking to see what happened, is really sleazy. Only the reincarnation of Hitler would do such a thing.

So if a family which includes a member running for president against the sitting POTUS robs a bank in Ukraine, the sitting president isn't allowed to ask Ukraine to find out what happened.

That just makes all kinds of sense...

You see TDS sufferers, if Trump calls for an investigation, and it turned up nothing, Trump would get criticized (fairly) by the media, for wasting everyone's time. Trump therefore has sufficient incentive not to call for an investigation, unless he thinks there's something there. In his second term, maybe he has nothing to lose. But before then, he has plenty to lose.

Asking for the "announcement" of an investigation is what happened.

Now show me any predicate for the investigation.

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

You know the suspicious activity, lots of money involved while Joe was the executive branch’s point man on ukraine.

Even Joe now says the optics are bad.
