It's almost like Trump took over as CEO of a company where the norm was employees stealing from the company.  Now, that he's trying to expose said employee theft, the rest of the gang is trying to get him thrown out.

We’re in the philosophical argument now behind the impeachment: is it abuse of power to use your office to benefit yourself in an election. That has been debated at length here with overwhelming evidence showing a lack of concern with corruption itself from Trump and repeated insistence on just the announcement by Ukraine with no concern over a fleshed out investigation.

So that said, do you have any examples of another president asking a foreign nation to investigate their electoral opponent?
