quid-pro-quo is ok if the quo is for the country. if it's for yourself or your campaign, it's bribery. if Warren becomes President in 2020, would it be ok for her to condition $400M in aid to Russia, on Russia publicly announcing an investigation into the Trump family?

What if it is for both? National Interest that also aligns with personal interest? Very common situation for a President. Frankly, if Warren is President, we will have worse problems. I’m sure you will agree all the Trumps have been investigated more than anyone in history.

how can Trump be the most investigated president in history if we don't even have his tax returns? also, since he appears to be the most crooked president in US history, he should be (but isn't yet) the most investigated president in history. sometimes correlation is causation.

You didn’t answer if National Interest aligns with the President’s personal interest.

how can it be in the national interest to investigate Hunter Biden for getting a high paying boardmember job bc of his name? that would be a politically motivated investigation. has Trump called for investigating everyone in the US who has a boardmember job bc of their name?

I thought you were being sarcastic at first. Seems important to me to know if Ukraine has any influence on the potential next president’s son.

Actually, I think Biden should withdraw because of the cloud of suspicion and clearly unethical behavior of his son. OTOH I don't see why withholding aid until *announcement* on *CNN* was justified. Only plausible reason to me so far is extorting Ukraine for political benefit.

The reason offered (somewhere in the transcripts of interviews) was that unless Ukraine committed to it publicly, they would never actually do it. In the business world, that's called "getting them a little bit pregnant."

That is a reasonable response. You the man. I don't buy it, though, at least not at the moment.

Replying to @JonFerraiolo @ScottAdamsSays and
The reason I don't buy it yet is that it still smacks of too much rationalization and not enough of an open assessment of available facts. I have the usual problem sorting out truth because the media is all in one camp or the other.

Notice Ukraine is doing nothing to investigate (as far as we know). Would that be the case if they had announced it publicly?
