Foreign Influence and Double Standards

Democrats want to impeach Donald Trump for inviting Ukraine to investigate 2020 election rival Joe Biden.

Then why are they opposed to investigating whether Democrats used Russian disinformation to get the FBI to investigate Donald Trump in 2016?

How can you be appalled about one form of foreign intervention in U.S. politics while whitewashing another? Based on the public evidence so far, Mr. Trump wanted Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden's activities in 2016.

The aid did flow again starting Sept. 11, even though Ukraine never opened the investigation of the Bidens that Mr. Trump wanted.

By notable contrast, the Clinton campaign's invitation and payment for foreign intervention in 2016 against Donald Trump succeeded.

Mr. Trump's actions regarding Ukraine will be investigated to a fare-thee-well, and it seems inevitable that Democrats will impeach him.

Their double standard is impeaching the credibility of their impeachment of Donald Trump.
