re: So. Since a President apparently cannot lean on a foreign govt to investigate a crime

Im not ducking anything. I gave you your answer: State/Justice should be the avenue taken, should he want to see this investigated. You dismissed it and then told me how i would react if that happened. Im not playing your dumb, and obvious, game.

But, NO ONE has fricking provided ANY actual mechanism for addressing activity such as this if their argument is that Trump cannot.

Trump: The devil made me do it.
Trump lemmings: Biden made him do it.

It's quite telling that this is about the fifth time you've pointed out that I dismissed it but conveniently haven't officially stated you would have been okay with him using Barr to go after Biden.

Things that make ya go hmmmmmmm

The correct answer is through his DOJ and/or State department. you dont want to hear that though, and have dismissed it as a possiblity.

keep up the good work.

You mean like when reporters asked the State Dept spokesperson about it in 2014 or so and she said;
"he's a private citizen. Why would that concern us?" or something like that. Pretty much the same answer when the White House Press Robot was asked the same thing about the same time.

So what you meant was that the State Dept and DOJ should have looked into it in 2014, but didn't? Thanks for clearing that up.

Was Trump? Cause right now it’s a bunch of hearsay garbage.

I think you are going to be disappointed once again.

Boom lol boom!

There is a tremendous difference between using agencies under your control to look for dirt on political opponents when no apparent evidence is available and asking the correct jurisdiction to investigation a political opponent where a plethora of evidence already exists.

Im not sure what you are trying to argue.
Rob asked what is the mechanism for beginning an investigation, if trump cant ask directly himself.

I said through state dept and doj.

You linked a video of an interview asking if state dept was concerned with the perception of hunter bidens involvement being croneyism. This still nameless spokesperson said he is a private citizen.

How do you view the answer to that question as some type of gotcha?

To ask for the investigation not to conduct it.

I know you are smart though, you’ll catch me slipping somewhere else.
