Isn't bribery the corner stone of American foreign policy?

The whole point of giving other countries money is that we get something in return
Finding out whether money was being used to influence our elections or that there was a back door channel to the last presidency seems like a pretty good reason to investigate
It's already on tape that Ukrainians helped Hillary in the last election

It's already on tape that Ukrainians helped Hillary in the last election Obama wouldn't send weapons that would help Ukraine, being a major pussy and all. Did what aid that was going to Ukraine come with a price tag? A strategic gift from America, or a debt owed to Obama and his weaponized intelligence services?

Good question What aid did they ask for and not receive because they didn’t give enough in return? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Like any country being invaded, they asked for help. Obama did not send weapons when weapons were needed. If someone breaks into my house and I ask my wife to hand me a gun and she gives me a band-aid and a sandwich, I am going to be pissed off. The 2016 U.S. election comes and former east block country does what any former east block country does and cozy up to the likely winner. Trump no path to 270, Hillary wins 95-98 % daily headlines.

You are 100% correct about term limits and politicians getting rich in very short order. Organized crime seams to be the only other profession that can turn a small amount of money into a large amount of money with little to no explanation on how it happened.

Wait. It's a different "profession"? LOL! Not much of a difference at all! One is self employed and the other is elected. Criminals all the same.

I don't normally watch the garbage, not because I'm partisan but because it's not funny and it's akward. Apparently SNL in one of their "news" segments for making fun of real life news, was casually suggesting that even if Donald Trump was innocent they'd be happy if he was impeached and removed and 'America would be happy too.' Here it is. https://youtu.be/u5-lJoeg4-Q

Col. Aleksandr Semenovich Vindman – was born in the USSR and brought to the USA in 1979 by his communist father, who was a Soviet, then a Russian sleeper agent.
