1. Democrats Are Running on Fumes

-- Can't investigate Hillary Clinton, because she is not running.
-- Can't investigate Joe Biden because he is running.

Isn't every living Democrat politician either running or not running?

2. Democrats Object to Seeking Investigative Help from Foreign Countries

If calls for such help are illegal, why the heck do we have treaties with the same countries for just this kind of help? Next!

3. Democrats Say You Can't Investigate a Presidential Candidate of the Opposition Party

These are the same people who were perfectly happy with Obama deploying the full apparatus of the federal government to spy on Presidential nominee of the opposition party.

4. Democrats Say This is Election Interference

How so? Oh, because this may improve Trump's re-election prospects. Really? It will only help Trump if Biden is guilty of something, otherwise it will backfire, wouldn't it? IOW, what will help Trump is a successful prosecution.

5. Folks, everything, and I mean everything, a first-term President does either helps or hurts his prospects of re-election. It's not election interference to strive to do a good job as President. If this is election interference, then so was killing Osama Bin Laden.

6. The criterion for election interference is not whether an act helps a sitting president's chances of re-election. It is whether such an act is helpful to a sitting president at the cost of hurting the nation. Investigating real crimes in high places is good for the nation.

7. If it turns out there was no crime but Trump just made up an investigation only to improve his chances of re-election, then it should positively HURT his re-election chances, and voters should throw him out in 2020.

8. The key is public visibility and accountability, not some fake outcries of calling every damn thing 'election interference' or 'investigation' depending on which term suits Democratic purposes at any given time.

The End
