    Isn't that exactly what the Democrats are doing now and for the last 3 years? They have been investigating Trump, coming up with fake Russian conspiracies, hiring a foreign national to write a fake report, and now trying to use impeachment as a method to eliminate Trump from the next election.

      Hearsay Can Be Much Better Evidence Than Direct Evidence, Tass!
      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

            I heard that someone said it, so it must be true.

                      Then rapidly walked it back during cross-examination reduced to saying that he "guessed" and "presumed."

                          You're attributing what Biden said to Obama. That Biden invoked Obama's authority doesn't change that Clown Shoes Joe made the quid pro quo. It also doesn't make the situation ethically much better, since your scenario makes Obama out to be abusing the power of his office for his VP's son.

                            Seems the part that you don't understand is that a quid pro quo in and of itself is not illegal or wrong in any way. Like Mulvaney said, though mistakingly in his case, we do this all the time. But, we do it all the time for things that are in the interest of the country, not for ones personal gain of any kind. The U.S. as well as the rest of the western world wanted Shoken gone because of the rampant corruption which he, as Prosecutor General was a part of. We were trying to help them clean up the corruption as well as give them much needed economic aid. That really doesn't even add up to a quid pro quo since the U.S. wasn't recieving anything in the deal.


                            It also doesn't make the situation ethically much better, since your scenario makes Obama out to be abusing the power of his office for his VP's son.
                            See the above. Obama recieved nothing in return, Trump demanded something in return, and not for the country, but to benefit himself politically.

                              Not at all. The Mueller Report made very clear that that Russia interfered in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, both by using social media to influence American voters with misinformation and by hacking into the Clinton campaign’s computers and etc. This despite Putin's discredited attempt to blame Ukraine - as being pursued by the ever-obedient Trump.

                              and now trying to use impeachment as a method to eliminate Trump from the next election.
                              No. This is Congress doing legitimate oversight into presidential abuse of the Constitution. There is specific evidence that Trump abused the office of the President for his own gain, including an overheard phone call between Trump and Sondland demanding foreign interference into a domestic political rival.

                                It’s truly amazing how quickly the Mueller report was dismissed. I had no interest in Trump until I read a story about the controversial report so I read the report for myself. I was honestly confused when it seemed to just fizzle out of public interest. I mean it detailed the scope and sophistication of Russian interference and confirmed connections with members of the trump campaign then concluded with a whole new section just for the attempts to obstruct the investigation by trump himself.

                                Regardless of trumps involvement, at the very least I thought that amount of election interference would be cause for concern for all Americans. Now it’s just referred to as the Russian hoax.
