I don’t think the mandate was to find if there was ANY bias. It was to conclude if the entire predicate for starting the investigation was biased. He concluded that the investigation itself was justified.

Hunter’s involvement in Burisma was a train wreck. The question is was Joe Biden complicit in any improper or corrupt activity. Joe’s insistence of the firing of Shokin was in alignment with US foreign policy and the international community (the EU and the International Monetary Fund). If there was corrupt behavior there, Trump should have ordered a investigation through proper channels… in other words the justice department. However, we know that would have raised all sorts of red flags, given the Joe Biden is a political rival. Asking a foreign government to investigate an American citizen is NOT was in conflict with US Foreign policy (getting a foreign power mired in US politics) and is NOT Trumps Job. As far as “hearsay”, the only reason we do not have first hand testimony is that Trump blocked it and any cooperation with the impeachment inquiry, hence the obstruction of Congress charge. These are the same arguments that have been going on in the House of Representatives for the last month. I’m sure you’ve heard them.

My problem is with your original post. “Utterly Retarded” is an offensive term JUST BY ITSELF. Characterizing the views and opinions of half of the US this way is the very essence of what is wrong in our country today and Trump is the embodiment of it. Personal attacks, insults, gas lighting characterize today’s political discourse. Trump is constantly engaging in personal attacks and deflection. You admire him so you emulate this behavior. It’s very sad.
