you made the claim that he made a direct request here for biden to be investigated, that's just lie.

It is a direct request for Biden to be investigated

No it isn't

Again, we now know this for certain

You seem to forget that i'm referring to the memo itself

That’s how it was meant, it’s how it was taken

Yes, in the transcript

I’m using other evidence as proof of what we all already knew

No direct means that it has to *say* that. That's what direct means.

What would direct look like?

He’s asking them to reopen the investigation

GG @Platinum Spark, you just advanced to level 24!

That’s literally what he’s doing

"I want you to look into biden and his son" or "i want you to investigate biden" or something along those lines

And again

that is direct

“I want you to look into why the investigation was stopped”

You feel that’s importantly different?

"i want you to look into *why* an investigation was stopped" is not direct

lol ok

If you want to parse it like that

Which is absolutely 100% dishonest

And could not be interpreted as such unless you want to be extraordinarily charitable to trump

Then I won’t stop you

If you truly believe that, you’re retarded or a gop loyalist, take your pick I guess

But that’s fine we can move on. We now know what was meant in the call

here's a hypothetical, if hillary clinton was in his place and asked president zelenskey to look into why an investigation was stopped, would you apply the same logic you are here?

Which was obviously to investigate Biden and his son

Yes

It would be totally inappropriate for Clinton to do that if she were president

You don't set this up with a favor asked in a phone call. You A) Punt it to the Justice Department from the start, or B) Fund your own op ed research.

Correct Nelson, i don't agree with what trump did here

Do you think Trump asked ukraine to look into any other case?

It's still a pretty bad thing, he should've taken it to the doj

Actually the state department

Pretty fucking asinine after 2 years of Mueller.

And now he’s asked China to investigate Biden, and also warren, because she’s been rising in the polls

Now that is pretty damn suspicious, I will say.

We'd have to go back pre civil war to find an administration corrupt and cavalier as this

Him targeting warren also seems more likely to be a political move, since this is awfully convenient.

Also yeah Mike, it's remarkably retarded on Trump's part that he would put himself in this position after 2 years of the Mueller investigation *and* right up against the 2020 election.
