isn't that what Biden bragged about doing?   just asking

You're mistaken. It's not the same.

 

Why not?

Biden, in line with U.S. policy and international policy,  threatened to withhold aid unless Ukraine fired a prosecutor who was widely viewed as corrupt by Ukrainian officials .

Trump asked the president of the Ukraine to investigate Biden, his political rival, then froze aid. Facts have shown Trump only cared about the announcement of an investigation.

You tell me. What's the difference?

 

 

Ok 

If the prosecutor was corrupt why did Biden have to threaten to with hold aid?  

The President has a right to ask a foreign government to look into criminal dealing by a previously elected official. He also has the right to threaten with hold aid if they do not comply.   Just because someone is running for office does not mean they can’t be investigated.  Heck I mean that is all the Democrats have Ben doing since President Trump was elected.

Without pressure from outside the Ukraine, from the US, the World Monetary Fund, and European Diplomats, the corrupt Ukraine government wouldn't have cared.

Stop whining about investigations into Trump. Republicans started investigations into Bill Clinton before he ever took office. Republicans still chant 'Lock Her Up' at campaign rallies. 

Republicans don't get to act like they're innocent when they've been doing the same thing for over 3 decades.
