The Trump Phone call to Ukrainian President looks to be a dud
I have been wondering if it would be a crime for a US President to request another government to look into corruption charges, whether of a political opponent or anyone else.  Is it?  Can anyone cite a statute?

When will Trump start calling Uncle Joe Ukraine Joe?
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Fauxahontas or Bernie might beat him to it.

Sure, Trump will skate on this one. He's totally innocent. We know he's innocent because everybody else is guilty.
Hit and run James. At least CB stayed on line one in a while to discuss.

I think that a president can ask  another country to look into crime and corruption charges that happened on their soil, why not?

If there is evidence, which there is in this case, the President would be obligated to make that request.

If it's illegal, fine, cite the code, if not, then, well, it's not.  This is simple.

Usually, the President waits after elections. This way he has more leverage.  Rolleyes

A president can't use his power to benefit himself personally.  So, why does the US care if Joe Biden's son got paid for a job, in another country, for which he may  not have been qualified?

Nepotism is a real problem, and if the VP, or any elected official, used his office to benefit his family, it is wrong. I read another one just this weekend where a congressman had his MIL on salary as part of his staff. That's wrong as well. what made that case especially egregious is that she is in a nursing home with dementia.
