I already told you I know that the president has many powers.
He is not supposed to abuse any of his powers.
He tried to use some of his powers to hurt a rival's campaign.
Figuring out why a prosecutor in Ukraine was fired four years ago, whether it was a good thing or not, is not a national interest to the US at this time. It is only a political interest to the Republican party.

Oh you! Never change, cutie pie! 

Lol. So extortion, fraud, abuse of power missallocation of billions of dollars in aid money...  that gets swept under the rug because joe biden has a d after his name.  

And its treason for Trump to use existing treaties on us ukraine legal cooperation to get to the bottom of it....  

Mikey the conservative.  Lolz

When you talk about Joe Biden's actions, all you want to discuss are the motives and results.

When you talk about Trump's actions all you want to talk about are prerogatives and powers.

Now Joe was only the vice president so he only had powers that Obama chose to defer to him. that aside the question of prerogative and power is the same between the two of them; they both had it.

for both of them, you have to look at the motives and results to see if this was an abuse of power.

In Trump's case, the motives and results clearly point to trying to knee cap a legitimate political opponent. Trump  as POTUS has no legitimate reason to care if Hunter Biden received any punishment that he may have deserved under Ukrainian law.

to the extent he's supposed to care he's supposed to want to steer American citizens away from prosecution not towards it
