    A quid pro quo with a foreign leader *for the benefit of the United States* is, of course, both appropriate & common. But that just brings us back to whether Trump was using U.S. influence to benefit the U.S., or to benefit himself.

        I'm sure he wanted an investigation into the discredited, insane conspiracy theory that Ukraine hacked the 2016 election simply in order to benefit the United States. He's so altruistic. It's all about the people. Nothing to do with, say, the legitimacy of his own election.

        A benefit to the US is defacto a benefit to a sitting president. This is only a thing now bc of TDS. Mulvaney says we demanded help looking into 2016 election interference & dems twist is to sound like he admitted to the nonexistent quid-pro-quo to investigate 2020 dems.

        "A benefit to the US is defacto a benefit to a sitting president." True. But not true the other way around.

        Of course investigating the DNC server redounds to the benefit of every man, woman, and child in the US

        The server is not there. Stop with the crackpot conspiracy theories--even reliable Trump apologists acknowledge there's nothing there.

        Answer: There's no US interest advanced by this course of action. He didn't "bring troops home" and all he did was weaken our national security by betraying a close ally and releasing ISIS fighters into the wild. Whether it benefits himself is irrelevant. It's sheer incompetence.

        It also significantly advances Russian interests in the region. Obama's foreign policy was clearly lacking, but Donald's is a nightmare.
