should it be illegal for a president to investigate his predecessor


It should be illegal for them to ask a foreign country to dig up dirt on a political opponent and interfere with our election

If he wants an investigation done he has literally the entire justice department and the CIA at his disposal

Except biden did interfere in an investigation that involved his son.


If true then there should be consequences for that cause that would be obstruction of justice

so if president biden asks russia to investigate whether trump colluded with someone in their government

that should be illegal
?


Absolutely

If he wanted to ask someone to investigate that there are official US channels to do so


so the problem here is that trump is asking ukraine to investigate him directly, instead of directing the cia to ask them


You're trying to make this difficult by feigning ignorance.

Yea that is part of the problem. The biggest part of the problem is hiding it. It's not his job to ask foreign nations to investigate someone as a favor in exchange for getting the already approved funding they need to continue existing against Russian aggression.

If this had gone the way Trump wanted it Ukraine would have opened an investigation and we would have had thought there was a reason for it. I'm the sort of person who believes there is a reason for everything and would have thought that it was likely Biden had done something wrong because I don't have a high impression of career politicians.


By the standard you're setting here Biden did do something wrong, though... He threatened to withhold money from Ukraine in private to get them to take a certain action.

It's unlikely Joe Biden's motivation in getting the prosecutor fired was actually to help his son -- there was a general consensus that the prosecutor was corrupt and the investigation was ongoing. Joe's motivation was most likely that a ukrainian anti-corruption movement was politically expedient for the obama administration. I have no idea if that's supposed to be bad or not, though, because all the people who are getting mad about this use such vague, shifting criteria.

Hunter biden is definitely 100% corrupt though. Honestly I think we should be investigated his appointment to the Amtrak board of directors by harry reid. That's obvious corruption here at home...
