Guiliani admitted to Chris Cuomo last night on CNN that he talked to the Ukrainians about investigating whether Joe Biden pulled any strings to stop the investigation against his son, Hunter Biden.
The larger question is, did Trump cancel aid to Ukraine because they refused to investigate Joe Biden.
The investigation is against Hunter Biden, not Joe.
And why wouldn't America expect our allies to investigate criminality?
Trump wants an investigation as to whether JOE BIDEN intervened with the government of the Ukraine to end the investigation of Hunter Biden.
Trump cancelled the defence aid to the Ukraine after the President refused to investigate Joe Biden, and then re-instated the aid when Congress got wind of his requests to the Ukraine, but the whistle blower has direct knowledge of the phone call, and Congress should be told too.
If Biden wants to be President, he needs to get used to investigations of both he and his family members, and anyone he has associated with over the years.
Personally, I think Ukraine should investigate the whole family. And if they ask President Trump to extradite them, I think he should. Biden deserves a chance to face justice on these charges, no?
You realize of course that the Ukrainian President is coming to Washington next week, and that the Congress Leaders can meet with him directly and get his version of events. That's precisely WHY Trump reinstated the aid. Failure to give the promised aid to the Ukrainians would have exposed his extortion...
Say who? WaPo is reporting that the secret source says there was no quid pro quo. Except for Biden of course, Biden bragged that he, with Obama's baclking threatened to withhold a Billion US taxpayer olloars unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter Biden, and they fired him. Are you claiming that Biden and Obama committed a crime? Impeachable offenses?
That was a sham cooked up by Hillary and Obama partisans in the DOJ and IC.... the Russia investigation...
What Biden brags about sounds to me like it's worth an investigation, why wouldn't we cooperate?... The American people do NOT want foreign leaders investigating American political rivals of the sitting American President...
From April 2019:
Two years after leaving office, Joe Biden couldn't resist the temptation last year to brag to an audience of foreign policy specialists about the time as vice president that he strong-armed Ukraine into firing its top prosecutor.
In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didnāt immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin.
āI said, āYouāre not getting the billion.ā Iām going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: āIām leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, youāre not getting the money,āā Biden recalled telling Poroshenko.
āWell, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,ā Biden told the Council on Foreign Relations event, insisting that President Obama was in on the threat.
Interviews with a half-dozen senior Ukrainian officials confirm Bidenās account, though they claim the pressure was applied over several months in late 2015 and early 2016, not just six hours of one dramatic day. Whatever the case, Poroshenko and Ukraineās parliament obliged by ending Shokinās tenure as prosecutor. Shokin was facing steep criticism in Ukraine, and among some U.S. officials, for not bringing enough corruption prosecutions when he was fired.
The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Bidenās younger son, Hunter, as a board member.
Ukranian officials began looking into why this investigation was shut down, and offered information to US Attorney General Bill Barr.
[A]s Biden's 2020 campaign ramped up over the past year, Lutsenko ā the Ukrainian prosecutor that Biden once hailed as a "solid" replacement for Shokin -- began looking into what happened with the Burisma case that had been shut down...
Lutsenko said some of the evidence he knows about in the Burisma case may interest U.S. authorities and he'd like to present that information to new U.S. Attorney General William Barr, particularly the vice presidentās intervention.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Biden had correlated and connected this aid with some of the HR (personnel) issues and changes in the prosecutor's office," Lutsenko said.
Ukraine did in fact re-open the case -- without any bidding by Trump.
It's an impeachable offense against... Trump?!?!!... here are good and valid reasons why Trump attempting to extort the Ukrainian government for his own political gain, is an impeachable offence....
Trump urged the Ukranians to look into a case of official corruption and unethical exertion of political pressure openly boasted of by Joe Biden himself and the guy who needs investigating is... Trump?!!?
By the way: the Deep State source who illegally leaked this to the media (of course) doesn't even allege there was any quid pro quo -- just what xhe claims was an improper "urging" of action.

It's now illegal and impeachable for a president to urge a foreign leader to open a corruption probe?
The things one learns from our very educated and very rational NeverTrump Genius Brigade.
Wrong.
Another lie debunked-Biden & the Ukraine
