many people with a highschool education think 4 syllable words are code.

but under your made up definition i'd agree, they aren't direct political opponents, neither are they not direct political opponents.

strange tho, this started with "political opponents" and is now on "direct political opponents". weird how those goalposts just shift of their own accord sometimes.

i said, under the shroud of presidential impeachment, the definition of political opponent should be held high

apparently you disagree, and think he should be impeached for rage tweeting rosie

Dude, Biden meets all but the most ridiculously strict definitions of political opponent

Indeed.

Not really. Pressuring a government to investigate past crimes is not an abuse of power. Doing so to defame an opponent in an upcoming election is. The primary motive is important.

To be clear this is if he didn't use the aid.

Except it's blatantly obvious that Trump doesn't care about corruption. You have to bury your head in the sand to think otherwise lol

But u have yet to explain why its important to impeachment that we use such a strict definition. Or why someone must fit that strict definition to qualify for an impeachable offense.

Do you know what ridiculous means?

The problem is, people use this as a claim for Trump having Ukraine investigate Biden, and that's all they say.

Which the problem is, they're ignoring that the full story is he's really asking Ukraine to investigate Burizma, and the ties of that to the Bidens.

There is a difference in that.

Is there a political benefit to that? Sure. But you can argue that there's a political benefit to many things, most things a President does has political benefit when it nets a positive action for the country.

In this case, you can also say that there is enough evidence to point at exposing possible corruption with the Bidens in my opinion.

I think it's legitimate, even if Trump's main goal was political benefit from it. It's a double whammy, you would have to say that there is no other benefit than political benefit for Trump, which isn't true if there's evidence of exposing possible corruption taking place here with Burizma/Bidens.
