re: What crime do they think TRUMP committed? Need a specific provision of the US Code.

Federal law makes it illegal to “solicit, accept, or receive a contribution or donation” from a foreign national. The question of whether or not the president ran afoul of that law certainly seems in play in light of what we saw in the transcript.

For purposes of this statute, a “contribution or donation” is defined as “money” or another “thing of value.” So a prosecution of Trump would hinge upon whether the opposition research Trump sought on Biden constitutes such a “thing of value.” Barr and Giuliani, meanwhile, could be considered accomplices in Trump’s effort to obtain opposition research from Ukraine’s president.

When you're a dim, you project your own wrongful behavior onto your opponents, it's what you do.

Riddle me this... if Ukraine did the investigation, regardless of Trump's motive for seeking the investigation, and there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter and Joe, and nothing was ever said about the investigation, would it still be a muh campaign finance violation?

Ironically, it was the dim whistleblower hoax and the Schitts/dim/MSM collusion that has turned a perfectly legal request and exercise of foreign policy that has turned this into a campaign-related issue.

Good thing that never happened

In that case, any such articles of impeachment will not result in Senate conviction.

The OP asked what statute would be used, and EuroCat identified it.

In thinking about this further, it should be pointed out that primary question is a bit of a red herring.

Impeachment is not defined by the US Code. It is limited by the constitution to actions amounting to "bribery, treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors" and left to the house to define those circumstances.

If the dims can convince their members [and thus their constituents] that the transcript (which is now their "confession" according to Kamala) amounts to bribery or treason, then their 60 year assault on education has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

Whether the alleged solicitation of assistance from another country to investigate a past official's potential abuse of office is a high crime or misdemeanor, well that's going to set one hell of a precedent.

So does that mean that future presidents are obligated to turn a blind eye to or take active measure to ensure that foreign countries conceal past corruption? Honk.

Shouldn't that thought process cut both ways? If asking a foreign entity to investigate corruption and abuse of office perpetrated by a US official is kosher, wouldn't you expect Congress to investigate allegations of corruption and abuse of office perpetrated by a US official?

So you want Congress to investigate Joe Biden? Seems a little redundant, no?

He booty hurt em

Not really what I was driving at, but why would that be redundant?

If this is accurate, how is this different from the spying done to Trump before and during his run for office with Muh Russia? Are politicians now immune from committing foreign crimes because it could benefit their political opponents? Also wasn't this already being investigated by the Ukraine government? They might have shelved it, but it was still previously investigated, correct?

They have all been investigations in search of a crime.

Yet Hunter Biden becoming rich off of Dad who lied multiple times about his Ukranian connections / conversations / meetings / golf outings is just fine with you.
