we are seeing some republicans taking a half-step .....admitting Trump is an odd character, but not going so far as to say that he is a whack-job, unfit for office. Unlike those republicans who insist Trump has done nothing wrong, they are aware that more is going to be made public. Where Andy errs in this is saying Trump was fucking with the media in saying China should investigate Biden. Records of Trump saying China should investigate Biden in a phone call earlier have already been hinted at in the media.

Trump raised Biden with Xi in June call housed in highly secure server

Washington (CNN)When President Donald Trump suggested — without prompting — that China should investigate Joe Biden and his son, he thrust another political grudge into what was already the world's most complicated and consequential relationship.

The move startled Chinese officials, who say they have little interest in becoming embroiled in a US political controversy. And it amounted to the latest extraordinary effort by Trump to openly request political assistance from foreign governments.

Thursday's comments weren't the first time Trump has injected Biden into his relationship with China, though he said Thursday he has never pushed Xi to investigate the former vice president. Nor is it the first time he has sought to trade favors with Xi, who this week celebrated the 70th birthday of his communist state with a note of congratulations from Trump.

During a phone call with Xi on June 18, Trump raised Biden's political prospects as well as those of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who by then had started rising in the polls, according to two people familiar with the discussion. In that call, Trump also told Xi he would remain quiet on Hong Kong protests as trade talks progressed.

were watching the news both days this weekend. They kept saying, "Why doesn't (the host or someone on the panel) say or ask _____?" Eventually, I responded, "Because we do not have a Malcolm X to nail them, or an Abbie Hoffman to ridicule them."
