First of all, there is nothing illegal about it and it is not an "impeachable offense".  Suggesting that a foreign government should investigate possible corruption is not "soliciting".  The fact that it involves a potential political opponent doesn't really have anything to do with it.

The fact of the matter is that this is once again blowing up in the democrats' face because there actually was corruption under the previous administration, and it is getting exposed.

The far left media is playing on the "he is influencing foreign governments against a 'political opponent'" when in fact he is exposing the corruption in "the swamp".  It was certainly no coincidence that Hunter Biden or LLC's that he was involved in got lucrative deals within weeks of the then Vice President (Biden) visiting both China and Ukraine.

Do the research rather than relying on what the MSM tells you.

The man literally rambled on about how he could pressure China to do it and they had a lot of pressure points.
He literally thinks he's allowed to make hurting American political parties an objective of American foreign policy.
I don't know if you're sharp enough to understand why that's a big problem or if you're just willfully refusing to see that this is what he's doing.
if he's really concerned about corruption in the opposing party, he should try to get his own prosecutors on the case.  However prosecutors in this country have a legal obligation to only go where the evidence leads, not to follow what the boss says or what the political party says. Maybe that's why he's asking foreign prosecutors first. You be the judge.
