The left would have lost its shite if Barr or the state department pressured the Ukraine and you fricking know it but just continue pretending for page after page
Trump could have used his AG or his State Dept, but he didn't because he didn't want it to come back on him that he had coersed Ukraine to open an investigation by withholding aid that had been appropriated by Congress.
Trump wanted to have plausible deniability so he could lie and say he had nothing to do with Ukraine opening an investigation, and so he could claim that Ukraine just decided on its very own to open an investigation into a political adversary of his, based on something that happened over 3 1/2 years ago.

point is that if we accept the democrat narrative that calling for the investigation of a political opponent is, at best, unAmerican and, at worst, treason, then American politicos are basically unbound by any law. Because their own party certainly isn’t going to hold them accountable. If the opposing party can’t, then there is no rule of law for the ruling class.
Meanwhile, 9th is up in here playing the "have it both ways" game by saying, "OMG, it is soooooo horrible that Trump went after a political opponent using another country"...……..BUT...………."if Trump had used Barr or the State department to do it...………..all good"
It's so fricking absurd he should honestly be embarrassed but apparently, being a liberal means having no shame.

Why would he want to deny that?
And is the statute of limitations for political corruption, bribery, and malfeasance in office now 3 1/2 years?

Uh. Presidents know their calls with foreign nations are listened to.
That's not a very effective plausible deniability route.
Just sayin.....

The statute of limitations has zero to do with it.
What would be the reason given why Ukraine suddenly decided to investigate a crime that happened in plain sight more than 3 1/2 years ago.

Because the American Vice President who was threatening them for investigating it is no longer in office.
