The Democrat Obama administration investigated the Republican Trump election people based on the possibility there was collusion with the Russians. This was done before and after an election to the opposite party, a major political event. Similarly the Republican Trump administration asked for investigation of Democrat ex-VP Biden and his son on the possibility they violated US law. This was being done before an election to the opposite party, a major political event.
This should be easy to clear and since you are honesty made man I am sure you will oblige to the facts and wouldn't want to stay stuck in some fantasy land, right?
- What Trump is being accused of is very specific and is dated July 2019 when he was president of the US. What he did or didn't do before is not relevant,
- This is in no way related to what Democrats did or didn't do before Trump was elected, you can make your life simpler and forget about that,
- Joe Biden is considered by many as one of the main potential opponent to Trump during the next election campaign for presidency. There is therefore zero doubt that he can be looked at as a major political rival
- What Trump did this summer, is that he clearly traded the release of committed defends funds (around 300 millions US$) against a public announcement by the Ukraine gov that the Biden (a political rival of Trump) would be investigated for corruption, which they were not at that point in time, and never were before, and still aren't
- This deal was proposed during a phone call that would have stayed secret had a Whistle blower not raised a flag, as the law of the US mandated him to
- This call followed many other transactions, managed outside the regular legal framework with the complicity of Trump's private counsel, during which pressure on Ukraine had already been applied in various ways to get them to investigate Biden
- This is a clear violation of the constitution and constitutes a text book example of what impeachment was designed for
Administrations can walk and chew gum at the same time. Just because there is political fallout does not make the investigation any less legal. That's what Democrats have been claiming about the Trump collusion investigation. That there appeared to be some nexus of a crime. So that made the investigation legal regardless of the advantage to Democrats. Same with the Bidens.
I am not following you here, this isn't very clear. Sorry.
But the bottom line is that what trump did stands on its own and is in now way related to political actions from the Democrats. All they did was to apply the law and the impeachment process defined by Republicans with clear involvement from republicans all along.
