Asking the question "If the Biden's are so obviously corrupt, as you claim, why has not Trump launched a DoJ investigation into them, given that he has the power to do so and would gain massively in electoral terms by getting a likely opponent discredited?", or variations thereof, is best seen as a kind of prophylaxis directed towards casual readers of Markk's posts. That question is particularly useful when put to someone who is likely to be impressed by the sheer mass of Markk's posts and the density of his links, and who, without reading them, might be tempted to think 'no smoke without fire'.

Chap, I have answered this question (LOL which seems to grow often, this time above with your answer) many times...what is my answer? I have expounded on it many times...provided back up etc.
Can you even explain to me what my answer is to the question?
After having performed the dreary task of skimming back through the previous thread, here are two versions of your reaction to the question:

Z was elected by the Ukrainian people to cleanup the corruption, that is what he ran on, and Trump is asking him to do what he was elected to do, why, because we were going to give them billions, and as the transcript reads, he asked Z to do "us" a favor, and I hope he does...and investigates any and all corruption including Joe and his son.
So there was plenty of evidence, but Trump thought it was more appropriate for corruption by a VPOTUS in office to be investigated by Ukrainians rather than the DoJ?
Riiiiight ....

Because he did not need to? (rhetorical), as I wrote in the beginning of this circle, "why is there air in a basketball?" It is equally a stupid but obvious question with a equally obvious answer. There is air in a basketball so it can bounce, and Trump did not ask the DoJ, because he did not have to, he is President and it is his job to make sure we, our country, are not giving money away to a corrupt Ukraine, and he acted accordingly, legally, and has been acquitted for any wrong doing, as accused by his politically enemies.
He had Rudy looking into the corruption before Biden announced his run for President. He then asked the President (Z.) of the Ukraine, in a transcribed phone call, who FYI, was recently elected by the the Ukrainian people to root out the corruption (see Sondland testimony) that had taken place under the Biden and Obama watch. Trump then asked Z. to look into it on "our " behalf, and told President Z. that both Rudy and the DoJ would look into it more, as the whistle blower testified. And as you are most likely unaware of (or refuse to acknowledge), today, the DoJ and others are looking into the corruption that occurred under Obama's and Biden's watch, which President Trump took the lead on, per his legal right.
In other words he did his job, and has no legal or constitutional requirement to ask the DOJ to first look into goverment corruption, but he did anyway after setting the table. There are other likely reasons I did not discuss much, like inheriting a "Washington" that has more leaks than Swiss cheese has holes. He obviously trusted Rudy enough to start the ball rolling, who is obviously more than qualified as a prosecutor...that is not even debatable given his record.
So once more Trump 'has no legal or constitutional requirement to ask the DOJ to first look into goverment corruption'. The first time we were told that he asked the Ukrainians instead, so that's OK, but now we are told as well that in fact 'he did anyway after setting the table'.
So Trump HAS in fact ordered the DoJ to conduct an investigation into alleged corruption by the Bidens? Really?
Oh sorry, I forgot: LOL
