most people don’t, including many people on right side unfortunately. If you don’t, I understand why you are uncomfortable when you learned this Biden thing by reading the transcription only. That’s what D, with help of MSM, are trying to do, i.e., taking advantage of your ignorance by creating a drama from this phone call.
The whole picture is
Ukraine, on March 2019, declared re-opening of the original investigation which was closed due to Biden pressure. This is before Biden announced his presidential candidacy which was on April 25, 2019. This is very important information to understand this phone call thing. You may have noticed it is Ukraine president who mentioned the investigation at first. What Trump mainly said is about Ukraine’s involvement in U.S. election 2016.
On U.S. side, demanding to investigate Hunter Biden’s company is not new and not secret, it’s spearheaded by Rudy Giuliani. There’re some reports from NYT on these things.
The D tried to create a drama from 7/25 call to give you, the person without knowing the background mentioned above, such an impression: Trump improperly began to ask Ukraine to start investigating on Biden (to be accurate, investigating Biden’s son). No, it’s much earlier than 7/25 that Trump want Ukraine to do that and Giuliani’s activities & talks about it were very open and there were reports about it. The transcript itself contains no pressure from Trump. So, if you want to impeach Trump for asking Ukraine to investigate Biden’s, you should start your impeach inquiry earlier than 7/25, as early as back to March 2019. But your impeachment has nothing to do with the call. As the call transcript shows, Trump mainly talked about Ukraine’s involvement in U.S. election 2016. His mentioning of Biden’s son is very short follow-up of Ukraine president's talking points, no pressure at all. His mentioning of Biden is about Biden’s bully and bragging manner.
I don’t agree with your characterization on investigating Biden’s as “get dirt on a political opponent”. Golden shower is dirt, Pee on Moscow hotel balcony is dirt, creepy hugging women is dirt. The dirt is something that embarrasses your opponents. Hunter Biden’s Ukraine thing is viewed as corruption thing, not dirt. Yes, President has power to ask about it after Ukraine intend to re-open the case on March 2019, which involves some Americans, not just Hunter Biden only. You can say it’s politically motivated. I agree. So is Mueller’s investigation.
