Regarding the scheme where Trump sought to use Ukraine to create phony claims against Hunter and Joe Biden...
Who do you think came up with this scheme?
All three should be investigated. All three are hiding the truth. All must be thoroughly investigated.
All three are lying and all must be called out. No need to defend any of these assholes.
I can only think it was Trump himself with the help of the people on his reelection campaign. It is not hard to imagine that Trump asked his people to dig up (or manufacture) dirt on his opponents (that's the way he rolls). And since Trump surrounds himself with "Yes" men (who probably operate on the same moral code as Trump), it is also not hard to imagine that they just go along with whatever Trump wants. Trump either believes himself to be above the law or he is too stupid to know when he is crossing the line.
Given historical corruption in Ukraine, the idea for fomenting "fake news" stories by/from Ukraine is kinda politics-as-usual.
