Showing Original Post only (View all)Biden in Des Moines: "Trump's doing this because he knows I'll beat him like a drum" [View all]
VIDEO at the URL.
On Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa, former Vice President Joe Biden furiously laid into President Donald Trump amid reports he tried to strong-arm the Ukrainian government into digging up dirt on him and his son.
Heres what I know, I know Trump deserves to be investigated, said Biden. He is violating every basic norm of a president. You should be asking him the question, why is he on the phone with a foreign leader trying to intimidate a foreign leader, if thats what happened? That appears to have happened. You should be looking at Trump. Trumps doing this because he knows Ill beat him like a drum and hes using the abuse of power and every element of the presidency to try to do something to smear me.
Depending on what the House finds, he could be impeached, but Im not making that judgment now, continued Biden. This appears to be an overwhelming abuse of power. To get on the phone with a foreign leader who is looking for help from the United States and ask about me and imply things if thats what happened, that appears to be what happened we know thats what Giuliani did. This is outrageous. You have never seen anything like this from any president.
I know what Im up against, Biden added to reporters asking whether it changes anything for his campaign. I know what Im up against, a serial abuser. Thats what this guy is. Abuses power anywhere he can, and if he sees any threat to his staying in power, hell do whatever he has to do. But this crosses the line. This crosses the line. Im calling the president to release the transcript of the call, let everybody hear what it is. Let the House see it and see what he did. Thats what Im calling on.

The press has investigated this story and have found that any claims about Biden are bogus
