I wish the various media would stop using the word "investigation"

[thucythucy]

when they discuss the plot to force the government of Ukraine to make a statement about the Bidens.

It wasn't an effort to force the Ukrainians to do an "investigation."

It was an effort to force Ukraine to become complicit in a plot to SMEAR Vice President Biden and his son.

Using the word "investigation" makes it sound like there was a genuine wish to uncover something.

There wasn't.

It was an effort to smear the vice president and his family, and facts be damned.

It's an important distinction, and one that needs to be emphasized at every opportunity.

1. Fabrication sounds more like it.

2. Absolutely.

Fabrication, smear... but NOT an investigation.

3. the public announcement was the point

Traitor Trump wanted Zelensky to *announce* an investigation. He wasn't interested in an investigation actually taking place, because that would ultimately lead to the conclusion he already knew to be true -- that there was no wrongdoing.
