2) Evidence for Shokin dragging his feet? When was he charged?

BTW, the only Barr seems to be dragging his feet on is bringing the FISA conspirators to justice.

3) USA Today glorified opinion piece fails to explain anything. Why do you think it was wrong for Trump to ask the Ukrainians to investigate the DNC's election violations of their own laws, or the Biden crime family?

So, you 've got nothing.  Just as I thought.

-Obama's on tape, promising the Russians to chuck Eastern European defenses if they go easy on him in 2012. Quid pro quo. Sheesh. Meanwhile, the transcript between Trump and Zelensky shows no quid pro quo, but that's an impeachment. Whatever.

Obama did tell Medvedev in 2012 that after Obama's re-election he could be more flexible in his negotiations. I don't remember any specifics being given (I see David says he showed you some). Meanwhile, the quid pro quo given by Trump to Zelensky could not be more clear, along with what was told by a number of witnesses. But that's an acquittal, Sheesh. Whatever.

It may be ironic, but Russia could get better deals that stuck with Obama than Russia could get with Trump. The difference isn't that Obama is more pliable; it is instead that deals that Trump and Putin make can omplode because of weak connection to national interests. 

Dirty dealings may look more attractive at the outset, but honest dealings -- good for good -- can readily have more lasting value.
