Here's a difference between you and me: I answer rather than avoid questions.
Yes, the Democrats are calling what Trump did "election interference."
But they did not say that Joe Biden is immune from investigation.  Hillary got investigated.  So did Trump.  The Democrats are saying that there was no reasonable suspicion to investigate Joe or Hunter. They acknowledge that Hunters position looks like a conflict of interest.  But a prosecutor has to care about more than that.  He has to have at least one specific, written crime in mind before he should investigate, and certainly before he announces to the public that he is investigating.

In other news, Victor Shokin filed a criminal complaint against joe biden for illicit influene....

Extortion... corrupt practuces... misappropriation of funds....  and if u get a prosecutor fired just to protect your kid that's bad right?

The framing of the argument as "election interference" is a direct reference to bidens status as a political opponent being an aggravating factor when in fact it's irrelevant.  And you're free to disagree that there is probable cause.  So is Schiff Pelosi and the rest of u.  That's not the question.  In determining corrupt intent you have to determine if ANY reasonable person would find it suspicious.  Unfortunately for u, even the precious news sites you cling to pointed out that having your son go to work for a corrupt oligarch ALREADY UNDER CRIMINAL INVESTIGATION is a bad idea.  

Play stupid games, you win stupid prizes....
