Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team overflowed with partisan Democrats, and their report could have been entitled "Roadmap to Impeachment." While they faced complications in making a case against the president, the prosecutors were not inhibited when it came to other subjects of the investigation.
They'd have loved to nail Donald Trump Jr. But the only thing they had was the notorious Trump Tower Meeting of June 2016, when Don Jr. orchestrated a meeting with a Kremlin-tied lawyer in an effort to obtain Russian dirt to be used against Hillary Clinton.
The campaign-finance offense that Napolitano urges be charged against President Trump appears to be the same one Mueller considered charging against Don Jr. The Mueller team's analysis is thus on point.
The Mueller report is also worth considering because the campaign-finance charge the prosecutors rejected is stronger than would be any similar charge against President Trump arising of the Zelensky call.
Trump detractors hyper-focus on the president's request that President Zelensky provide Attorney General Barr with any information Ukraine might have about Biden twisting arms to quash an investigation involving his son's cashing in on dad's influence.
If you think there is an indecorous heavy-handedness to the way Donald Trump and Joe Biden conduct foreign policy, that's fine - go vote against them on Election Day.
There is at least as much basis for opening an FCPA investigation against the Bidens as for opening campaign-finance investigations against the Trumps.
