Well, now that the Press wants to put the whole thing all over the news (because it involves Trump), then it can be all over the news about the involvement of Biden as well, although I doubt we'll see much emphasis on that part.

Yes. It is almost as if this was dismissed years ago and the only reason it is in the news again is because the president was trying to enlist a foreign government to help attack his political rival. No matter how much you try to spin it that is the focus.

The only reason we are discussing Donald Trump's phone call this week is the Whistleblower.

And that's due to the phone call which had Biden's name in it. If Biden hadn't done anything wrong, he wouldn't have been talked about in the phone call, and the "whistleblower" wouldn't have had something to use.

Have you read the Whistleblower's memorandum? It's seems you have not.

Ah, the words of Adam Schiff again!
Sorry, but the fact that Biden wants to be president is just being used as an excuse for whatever Biden may have done. Running for president doesn't give him a shield against being investigated. In fact, it should make him even more subject to being investigated, as we all no doubt have have noticed by now.

Oh Spare me Aldebaran. Trump asked a foreign government to inspect Biden. That is not even in dispute.

As if I was even disputing it. But that wasn't your original claim, which was:

There's a difference between "inspect"(ing) someone, and attacking them as a political rival.

Then you should support removing Trump from office -- look at all those times his name has come up in various investigations. If he was innocent, obviously his name wouldn't keep coming up!

Are you seriously going to try to claim this sudden interest in having Biden investigated has nothing to do with him being Trumps front running opponent?

Yes, his name comes up whenever one of his political rivals speaks.
And here we are discussing how Trump has "attacked one of his political rivals" in a phone call.

Hearings call for statement of facts - not some paraphrased exaggerated version of events that make for good sound bites -
Every politician in that room gave their spin on the transcript ...

As long as Biden is being defended so readily by those who hate Trump, it makes me want to ask the same question.

And Biden's name often comes up when Trump speaks. Just accept you misspoke and can't defend it and move on; obviously a name coming up in the context of an investigation does not imply guilt -- particularly when they've previously been cleared of wrongdoing.

Fine, through the proper channels (ones without a political motivation), re-investigate Biden. The issue is, the Ukraine has little good knowledge of if Biden committed a crime -- that information is in the US. Either Biden "invented" this scheme and, on his own, used the condition of firing the prosecutor for the Ukraine getting the loan or he was an envoy sent by the US government. It should be easy to check records, review documents, and interview the various government workers to find out where the idea came from, who supported the plan, and the exact reasons for demanding the Ukraine work on cleaning up corruption (including firing the prosecutor) before issuing the loan. The Ukraine can not give us that information.

Ask away. If Biden did something illegal and it comes out he can face jail time like any citizen and I will not care one whit. Now will you answer the question I asked?

So this is the second thread you have started complaining that people exaggerated the number of times Trump committed a crime. Seriously, is this the best defence out there? Trump commits high crimes and possibly treason, but hey, look! Someone misrepresented how many times he did it!

Everyone knows you're allowed to pressure a foreign country for political help 7 times.

Evidence that this guy hates Donald, please. Or admit you're making stuff up. Either works.

Former Ukrainian prosecutor: I'm not aware of 'any possible violation of Ukrainian law' by the Bidens

WASHINGTON — Former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko said Friday that he was not aware of “any possible violation of Ukrainian law by (Joe) Biden and by (Hunter Biden).”

...

Lutsenko, who closed the investigation into the gas company in 2017, made the comments during an interview on NBC that echoed what he told the Washington Post the day before about Hunter Biden, that “from the perspective of Ukrainian legislation, he did not violate anything.”

This should lead to Biden being investigated. If it wasn't for him, this topic wouldn't even exist.
Why? The prosecutor actually was corrupt, the US wanted him out, our allies wanted him out. Hunter Biden had joined the board of Burisma as part of their cleanup and the investigation of them had been fallow for over a year when Shokin was ousted. So why should the VP be investigated except as a distraction and revenge?

Your question being:

It depends on which polls you rely on to determine who is the front runner opponent. Many of them say it's Warren who is the front runner. Also keep in mind that it's 13 months until the election and way too soon for Trump to spend any real effort investigating any of them at this time. Biden has been making too many mistakes at this point to be called a clear front runner or the most likely to be elected in 13 months.
