2) Fox News hasn't confirmed the story yet.

Is that how you feel about Trump’s tax returns and other government documents that weren’t obtained legally?

And it's not illegal to lie about it afterwards, as long as you're not lying to the cops.
So what law was broken?

Are you suggesting that making deals for your family by using your position in the government isn’t illegal? At the very least, it’s a far greater example of the “bad behavior” you don’t want to reward from Trump.

1) Yes, it's not ethical to share info that you're not supposed to have. What the NYT did is also not ethical.  They did it in retaliation for Trump not releasing his tax returns, though. Trump's failure to disclose those is unethical on multiple levels. Trump's people complaining about this would be like a man filing battery charges against his wife because she kicked him in the nuts, but in reality she only did that after he gave her a black eye.

2) The Biden-Ukraine allegations don't point to anything illegal, but it would be unethical to change foreign policy decisions based on who hired your children.  IF that's what he did.  There were a lot of people who wanted that prosecutor fired for a lot of reasons.
