    No, there is nothing wrong with investigating a crime -- when using the proper channels. The prosecutor can't have a COI, which is what ethical people do understand. So, if there was an investigation into Biden, Trump should have 0 to do with it. Otherwise, we get into Banana Republic territory, where it is normal to investigate political opponents for political gain. Not sure why this is so hard for Trump defenders to understand. Actually, I think they, and you, understand it perfectly well, but they are so emotionally invested into Trump that they are willfully ignorant.

    Funny how the only people getting attacked are people wearing MAGA hats and Jussie Smollett.

    "I DEMAND PROOF!"

    *Proof presented*

    "OH SO YOU THINK SHE WAS TALKING TO YOU PERSONALLY".

    Go away.

    Wrong of course unless you think asking for or about an investigation is a bad thing, other than that Trump won't have much to do with it

    This may be an interesting read for you:

    https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2018/05/donald-trump-has-all-the-power/560804/

    Even IF he would ask the AG (not even a foreign government) to investigate Biden, although he has the power to it, it would be a political crisis. In ANY investigation of Biden, the president should have nothing to do with it, even from the start.

    Of course, the AG could be complicit, which would not be unexpected with Barr, who seems to be a trump doormat. However, that kind of thing didn't work too well in the Watergate scandal. trump has to be very careful. My read of the situation is that his call to Pelosi indicates that Trump knows he is in trouble. My guess is he was trying to strike a deal with her, but no go. This indicates that Pelosi thinks she has the upper hand.

    What a crock. First, to the nonsense spouted by the Atlantic that investigation is already being conducted. As to your own the president, as well as being cic is also head law enforcement officer, the notion that he can't at least suggest that an investigation into this that or the other should be conducted is ludicrous. At least Trump is transparent and open about it instead pulling strings behind the scenes like Obama.

    President Trump has no authority whatsoever to execute anyone.

    Nor does Trump have authority to pressure foreign governments to do him personal "favors" to damage his political rivals.

    No one is claiming that intimidation never works.

    Clearly, an inquiry to expose the truth regarding the "favor" requested and the attempted cover-up regarding it is demanded.

    Violators if the law generally hold the law in contempt.

    Trump doesn't have the authority to do many of the things he gets away with, but like I said, I do not think even Trump is stupid enough to execute a witness, he was just trying to intimidate the witness imo
