He shouldn't ask foreign governments to investigate political adversaries.

Uh, yeah right.
I just read the 5 page transcript, doesn’t look good for the Dems. You have to wonder if Trump set a trap at this point. Nothing about withholding money, nothing about forcing to fire the ambassador (Trump told him she was a bad ambassador). There is simply nothing close to worthy of impeachment in that transcript.

So someone who breaks the law should be exempt from criminal investigation because they run for President or any other office ?

You did see Biden bragging about getting the DA fired and withholding the money ?

You do realize this isn't the actual transcript?

The memo released by the White House includes this cautionary language: CAUTION: A Memorandum of a Telephone Conversation (TELCON) is not a verbatim transcript of a discussion. The text in this document records the notes and recollections of Situation Room Duty Officers and NSC policy staff assigned to listen and memorialize the conversation in written form as the conversation takes place...."

Most who think this is an impeachable offense would be saying it was justified because the person being looked into is corrupt. And most of those who think it is justified now would be saying it was a president abusing his/her power. That is how politics goes.

You really don't understand why it is dangerous to our democracy to have a foreign government investigate our candidates for office?

Shouldn't our country do its own investigation rather than relying on outsourcing to countries that might not have our best interest in mind?
