Funnily enough Trump was caught by a reporter leaving The White House to board his chopper and was asked if he had asked Ukraine to investigate the Biden's... his reply as I recall was " yes" and he even said "maybe China should investigate the Biden's too "... So we have a leader of a country asking a foreign nation to investigate US nationals activities abroad yet goes very quiet when the UK police ask for the return of Anne Sacoolis for an investigation where there has quite obviously been a crime leading to a fatality !

I suppose the difference between the two is of course, any muddying of the water surrounding the Biden's equals a boost to Trumps re-election campaign while defending Anne Sacoolis from investigation looks like Trump is strongly supporting the interests of a US citizen which equals a boost to Trump's re-election campaign. Win Win ! luckily ethics don't feature too highly with The Donald !

Here's a decent overview of what you raised in regards to Trump asking a foreign government to investigate a potentially corrupt Politician.

It's nothing illegal in nature to do. Especially if they do it for nothing in return.

I agree that the woman should be sent back to Britain to face Justice. I don't however think that decision would have been any different regardless if Trump or someone else was in power.

I had more chance of shitting in the Queens handbag, than Trump had of being impeached. What he did was illegal, but the way the US have handled this is nothing short of atrocious.

Apparently Donald Trump’s approval amongst African Americans has doubled in a year to 42%. Black poverty is at its lowest recorded level; black employment has increased and Trump has increased spending on schools in largely black areas.

My prediction is that he will walk the next election and get another four years. But we shall see.

"....but the way the US Senate have handled this is nothing short of atrocious."

Fixed that for you. We're having our own version of the 1911 House of Lords crisis right now. The upper house can do whatever it wants, and there is no king to mass-create peers and bail us out.

Paywalled, I’m afraid.

I got paywalled once. I broke my nose on the credit card expectation year. They said my credit card was too old to handle the amount. I then banged my head against the window and hit my nose on the handle that releases the window lock.

Mitt Romney first Republican to announce he will vote for impeachment - at least one of them has some balls

Seems to be getting crucified for it!

If Trump's approval rating is 94% among Republicans and 7% among Democrats... Is he officially the most divisive person in the US??. And would the 94% agree that having someone so divisive as POTUS is a bad thing for the country?

False

It was the House that ****ed it up so badly that they made it incredibly easy for the Sentate to deal with.

If you want to blame someone, blame Adam Schiff. That's the clown that made an absolute meal of it all.

So bad they started out on quid pro quo and when they knew they were stuffed and couldn't prove that they changed tact several times just to get something before the Senate.
