And assuming this fiasco is anything more than Trump being pissed about 2016 accusations is utterly unfounded. There isn't a shred of evidence that 2020 was his goal, and a heap that shows 2016 was. Adults look at evidence, Jim, not impassioned repetitive speeches made just to get the latest media sound byte.
    It's no joke when right after you ask for help, the country you 'jokingly' asked starts a hacking campaign to get you the very information you asked for.

    And not only that, he has tried to force another country to help him, costing that country lives, and at the detriment of US national security.

    It is amazing that you can claim he's done nothing, when not only did he do something then, he has escalated now.
    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

        Are you capable of not diving into insane conspiracy theories? Anyone promoting a joke, as trump asking Putin for help, should be mocked and laughed at. Sometime mockery, is the best response. Give something that doesn’t make you into a laughing stock and you’ll get a serious response.

            Oxmixmudd it was a report about Russia hacking the DNC that caused Trump to make his JOKE so Trump did not ask them to do it they had already done it. thinking Americans understood the joke. Sheesh can't anyone on the left understand humor anymore.

              I guess he missed the news last night that the FISA warrants against Carter Page that were used to spy on the Trump campaign were ruled invalid because the FBI lied to the judge in order to get them approved.

              Schiff also claims that the Russians have a psychological profile on Trump so they know how to manipulate him.

              Seriously, man, Schiff is a nut!

                I am sure they have a psychological profile on him too, as well as every other high ranking person in the government, past and present. I am sure we have them on the Ruskies too. That's what the CIA does. And any president that just takes the word of any info reported to him by any agency, without using his own judgment is the one I want to keep out of office. His JOB is to take the information given to him, decide if it is valid and make decisions based on his judgment.

                  I'm not sure where Democrats picked up this idea that the President isn't his own agent and is simply supposed to do whatever his advisers tell him to do.

                  Or maybe I do when I consider that Barrack "Lead From Behind" Obama was the quintessential Democrat president.

                    They want a puppet President that they can control. Trump doesn't play by their rules and that makes them upset. They want him to be part of the swamp.

                      And how they elevate "career diplomats" in foreign policy over POTUS who SETS foreign policy. They employ Tassmanlike superfluous adverbs and adjectives making these people 'gods', and Trump a monster.
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                          Do they realize that Russia and Ukraine are enemies? How can Trump be both a Russian Puppet and Ukrainian Puppet Master?

                            And how many times did Obama either assist or fail to stand up to Russia?

                              It will go down as a triumph if the President is held to account, a failure, and a black mark on democracy, if he is not. Why? Because he is obviously guilty, putting his own personal interests ahead of the countries vital interests, that he can, as he has done, collude, bribe or extort foreign governments while putting our own, as well as our democratic alies, national security at risk, and it will render the supposed co-equal branch unable to do anything about it. And if he gets away with it this second time, you can be assured that he will feel free to, and as he has shown, will do, again.
