Two years ago I could see this. But why now?

I had hoped when the Mueller report came out, we would at last be free of the impeachment hysteria, and Adam Schiff in particular.

I completely agree with you.

But then Trump went ahead and asked a foreign power to investigate his primary opponent for POTUS in the next election, and people within the administration attempted to hide the conversation from the American public.

Whoopsie.

My take is that he wanted to know if Biden improperly used his influence as VP to help his son. Did he?

So the millions and billions in Hunter's pockets and the firing of the prosecutor are so much chaff blowing in the wind?

I thought Biden was bragging about how he used the threat of withholding american $$$ to get an investigator fired. did I miss the part where he threw his hands up to indicate no foul?

There is a good reason that Trump brought this up with Ukraine, and not France or Ireland. Ukraine is where Biden's son was making a ton of money off his daddy's influence.

I have every qualification that Hunter Biden has, except the daddy. Can I get that job?

Everybody is talking, except Hunter.

I doesn't matter if Trump was interested, flat out, Trump shouldn't be that involved! Trump, if he was concerned, should run that concern through the proper channels at his disposal. Then, his own intelligence agency can tell him whether or not it is an issue.

I don't get why it is so hard to realize that POTUS is uniquely positioned to need to be careful about who he talks to and what he talks to them about - there is a ton of power in his position.

Honestly, I could care less if the DOJ investigated this matter, you're right that you are likely as qualified as Biden's son. And it's likely he got the position to try and influence Biden - which is wrong. But if Trump is going to be so personally worked up about foreign governments trying to buy influence, he should be investigating everyone staying at his hotels and doing deals with his children... Again, Trump should be staying out of it and letting his DOJ handle things.
