It's not hypocrisy

It CAN be inappropriate. If the DOJ had opened up an investigation into the matter I would have no problem with it.

But they did not. Instead.. they try to backdoor an investigation much like the dems did with Mueller

By the time Durham and Barr get their heads out of the clouds, Trump will have either been impeached or lost the 2020 election with the new President firing Barr and covering up everything the Dems and Obama did for years.

No, the difference is they are taking the President at his word, because we can’t prove ill intent.

They FEEL like what Biden did could be construed as wrongdoing, so that is an abuse of power and should have been investigated.

(See what I did there guys, I switched the names and it all still works!)

Presidential phone calls are classified information. Releasing any details I’d said calls are a federal crime. This rat should be charged with violating that law...

Assume Trump's intent is to take out a political opponent and also assume that Biden used the influence of his office to end an investigation of his son.

Does the propriety of the investigation turn on Trump's subjective intent or Joe's actions?
