The first quote you posted yeah
@Cobra Commander “why did you stop the investigation” is the same thing
That’s not from the summary of the transcript, that’s Schiff’s paraphrasing
@fuck12moredeadcops yes, I know... what’s your point?
The first one yes
And even CNN admits he’s mischaracterizing the contents of the transcript
The second one no
Context is key. Exactly the problem for POTUS. This is a guy who whitewashes crimes of MBS and Putin and Kim
The second quote, which is the actual quote from the summary doesn’t mean much though
Yes, it does we are currently talking about it
Are you caught up vibe?
Moving on- so cobra, when you end an investigation, it’s because you brought an investigation to its conclusion
Literally what criminal indictment can be made off of the statement “so if you can look into it”
No it isn't in the slightest. First of all, there is nothing wrong with Trump wanting to investigate Biden's son, *he* is not a political candidate. And even then he didn't actually say to look into Hunter Biden specifically, let alone Joe Biden. He said to investigate why a prosecution was stopped in the Ukraine.
If you call someone up and say “look into why the investigation ended” (though that is a charitable interpretation) then you’re suggesting impropriety
None Vibe, you have to be very partisan to make that stretch <:laugh:583238348077006869>
There absolutely is something wrong with calling up a foreign leader and, WITH NO EVIDENCE, suggesting they investigate an American citizen
It is a massive abuse of office
Evidence as in a prosecution being stopped, hey this is kind of fishy?
If it were based on any evidence then maybe
That's... evidence lol.
But it isn’t, and he mentions no one else, just the family of his political opponent
What’s evidence
He could be wrong about there being something there but that is absolutely cause to be suspicious.
The end of an investigation is evidence of wrongdoing?
What is suspicious?
Explain to me what you believe the suspicious evidence is
How do you not
See that as being inherently suspicious?
...
He doesn’t offer quid pro quo, he doesn’t request an investigation into the Bidens, he simply asks for the Ukrainian President to look into why the investigation ended. Yes he probably intends to use whatever they find in his campaign, but that’s not criminal wrong doing, and if you’re conceding it breaks no law but you still want to impeach him, I think you’re the partisan just trying to use this as an excused to expedite an impeachment process
See WHAT
An investigation ended
Investigations end
Yeah, when the prosecutor was fired
Also yeah Vibe, welcome to the trump channel
@fuck12moredeadcops he absolutely does offer a quid pro quo, We now have text messages backing that up. And he requests an investigation into the Bidens, we also have texts backing that up- and now the whit House is asking the recipient of those texts not to testify- so you not follow the news?
@Cobra Commander the investigation of the company that hunter Biden worked for happened AFTER the prosecutor was fired
What is he offering Ukraine in return for an investigation into the Bidens and where are you deriving this interpretation?
