Here's a Biden quote from when he was Vice President. He was very clear in his quid pro quo. Fire the prosecutor or Ukraine doesn't get their money. The prosecutor was investigating his son. Trump wanted Biden investigated for this, which was an admission of guilt. So of course, the Democrats don't want Trump to make progress on this investigation. It would make their guy look bad and probably land Biden or his son in jail. So they accuse Trump of doing what they themselves did, as the Democrats always do when they are in trouble. buzzfeednews.com And then he told a story.
