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

Holy [BLEEP]! That might be the most direct evidence of trolling or serious mental deficiency portrayed on this board ever.  Everything you said is wrong and I cannot imagine how you can breathe after such intellectual contortions.
