If you believe an investigation into the origins of Russia/Mueller is legitimate (which it is, there are still plenty of outstanding issues) then asking for a "favor" in the context of that specific investigation is not unto itself untoward

Zelensky then brings up Giuliani, and Trump does one of his typical semi-intelligible riffs about how Biden maybe did something horrible, and Zelensky should talk to Giuliani. Bad form to even bring up Biden? Sure, but it's a lot vaguer than initially presented

The political question is, what's the best way to reproach a president who routinely exhibits "bad form"? How about an election, rather than an extraordinary Constitutional remedy that will consume the country for months and months?

That the first subject discussed is Mueller makes all the difference because it confirms there is direct narrative continuity between the Russia investigation and the Ukraine episode. So the whole Mueller/Russia saga is alive and well, and provides the narrative underpinnings

Any forthcoming articles of impeachment would have to encompass the Russia/Mueller investigation -- this is just the latest iteration of that story. Ukraine phone call cannot be separated from the broader Russia narrative that has dominated US politics for 3 years

yeah, I believe he's specifically asking about the activities described in this story - most notably Alexandra Chalupa's involvement in laying the groundwork (arguably aka spreading rumors) for the Manafort investigationhttps://www.politico.com/story/2017/01/ukraine-sabotage-trump-backfire-233446 …

Especially as a candidate for president, Biden must be questioned about his merits as VP under Obama. This is freedom of the press. Otherwise kid gloves do not educate the voters.

So Giuliani is working here as a DOJ subcontractor? I think he blew his cover.

And asking for assistance in 2016 election meddling. A 3rd grader should be able to find the relativity in that.

He's asking Ukraine to help exonerate Russia from hacking the DNC server -- totally cool.

And the only positive motive Ukraine would have for doing that is the discovering the truth, considering the country is/was in conflict with Russia. Ukraine doesn't benefit in exonerating Russis of anything.
