So he did in fact work for the Obama administration and as I said, he had an axe to grind because of Guiliani working behind the scenes to get Ukraine to investigate the Russian collusion hoax.  You can fault Trump for taking that route if you want, but I don't.  How could he possibly trust the State Dept, CIA or DOJ to push this given that there are likely more than a few current admin employees in both those departments that are culpable and are lawyering up?  The only one he trusted was Guiliani, and I don't blame him one bit.  Trump went to DC to change how things are done and is at war with the bureaucracy and there is no sane person who would argue he could trust them to get to the bottom of the Russian collusion hoax.  We paid Mueller and his merry band of Democrats $30M to investigate the President but now Democrats want to impeach the President for wanting to investigate the hoax.

But here's a couple of questions for you to consider.  Is it wrong for a politician to ask for something, even a quid pro quo, even if it benefits them politically?  Is it wrong for the chief law enforcement officer to ask for a foreign country to comply with a treaty signed by a former President to investigate corruption, even if it also benefits them politically? 

Because if you answer yes, you have indicted every politician from the beginning of time because it has always and will always happen.  Just ask Ukraine when it comes to Biden if it happens.  To say this is different because it's Trump is hypocrisy.
