Free Thinker When else is he going to have Biden investigated? He asked the new Ukraine president if he'd look into it and now he's facing impeachment. Any investigation on Trump's part would have netted that same result. A president can't investigate a political rival because he would benefit if that rival was found guilty of a crime. So the only option open to him, as a defence, is to prove that Biden was corrupt and he did the right thing by wanting that investigation. This is so logical, I find it hard to believe that it has to be explained to anyone.

Free Thinker Because the investigation into Burisma was carried out by the Ukraine government. That was the same prosecutor that Biden wanted fired. It would seem the best way to find out, EXACTLY, what happened here and to see whether Biden made a corrupt move or not, is to ask those DIRECTLY involved. Besides, no matter who Trump asked to investigate into the Biden's alleged corruption, the response would still be that Trump was trying to get dirt on a political rival. The only problem was, in this case, Biden used American taxpayer money, to fire a prosecutor, in another country, who may or may not have been looking into his son, for some kind of wrong doing. That SOUNDS corrupt to me. It should sound corrupt to anyone. If he's innocent.....great. In the end, though, the investigation will always lead back to Ukraine, where the bulk of the information of corruption, or lack of it, lies. That's just plain common sense. I'm sure no one, including you, would never say that it's okay for a politician to be a crook in another country, using American taxpayer money as leverage to get what he wants. It does seem that Biden did just that. If he didn't, then why did he brag about it?

@Robbie S NO!!!! It doesn't work that way. What a conservative wants is the opportunity to make their own way, freely, without undue interference and if he becomes rich in the process, all the better. Getting rich isn't the goal. It's the reward for being successful and getting there on your own merit.

@Robbie S You've misunderstood EVERY word I've said. Of course, the man living on an island doesn't become rich by himself. We're social creatures and it's how a person operates as a part of that society. You contribute as an individual, doing the things that benefit yourself and society as a whole. It's a two way street, a symbiotic relationship. ....and, of course, Jeff Bezos didn't get rich on his own. He needs staff and more importantly, customers. However, I, as an individual, don't have to work for Jeff Bezos if I don't want to. I don't have to buy off him, either. That's my choice as a self determining individual. However, I CAN approach his company and apply to work for him.....if I want. Then, it is up to me to make my way, as an employee of Bezos, in the best way that I can. If it doesn't work out, I can walk. There may be unpleasant consequences, for the time being, anyway, but there are more options than just Jeff Bezos in the world. In fact, it's a good thing that there are those options, should I need them. I may never have the finances of Bezos, but so what??? I'm not living his life and his property doesn't belong to me. I, Jack Haveman, belong to me and any property, whether in cash, land or products is mine. That's what concerns me. I don't spend my days gazing at the piles of others because that's one sure way to guarantee the neglect of the way I live my life and use my own assets. I will NEVER allow envy to rule my life.

Free Thinker Zlochevsky was in London, England, avoiding Ukraine authorities and had 23 million dollars in assets frozen back in the Ukraine. It benefited him greatly, because shortly after that prosecutor was fired, that money was released and 8 months later he returned to the Ukraine. It didn't take long and he was in trouble again, over things he did when he was Minister of Ecology back in 2012 and he's left the country again. Zlochevsky was an extremely corrupt individual, a businessman and politician in a country named the 3rd most corrupt nation on the planet. Why would his company employ an American, with no fossil fuel exploration experience, couldn't speak the language and didn't even live in Ukraine? Could it be that his father was the vice president of the most powerful country in the world? I don't know.....not for sure, but when his father, that vice president, tells their government that they won't get 1 BILLION dollars unless they fire the guy that investigated his son's boss, I'd like to know what is going on. I'd think any reasonable American would and I would think that party politics would be irrelevant. Apparently, I would be wrong.

@tu3aa251 They're innocent until proven guilty and that's how it should be. That's why an investigation is warranted. However, there are some that believe that investigations only apply to certain individuals, based on party affiliations. Strange how an investigation into a candidate would be a benefit to his rival and wrong but an investigation into the rival, which would benefit the other candidate, is fine, even though it benefits that candidate. Now fill in Biden into candidate and Trump into rival and you have our situation. If it's necessary to investigate Trump....have at it but don't tell me that investigations can only go one way. That's beyond ridiculous.
