ujm – Trump was impeached because he conditioned military aid legislated by Congress on a foreign government announcing an investigation into a political rival. He admitted it, and said it was OK. Of course, there was nothing to investigate. Trump just wanted the announcement of an investigation to it would hurt Biden’s chances in the upcoming election.

And, as I’ve told you in other posts, Biden did not do the same thing. During the Obama administration, it was the policy of the United States, as approved by the REPUBLICAN Congress, that Ukraine had to get rid of corrupt government officials, including the attorney general who WOULD NOT investigate Burisma. This was the policy of the EU and NATO. This was the policy voted on by Sen. Ron Johnson and every other Republican in the Senate. There was not condition of helping in a domestic political race.

In 2018, it was not the policy of the United States that Ukraine has to investigate President-Elect Biden in order to receive military aid. Congress passed the aid without that condition. Trump tried to use the aid as leverage for a domestic political advantage. This is the WORST form of presidential abuse and corruption of power, short of taking bribes for pardons.
