In an article titled "There Is No Basis to Impeach Trump Over Ukraine", Adrian Norman cited the existence of a "Treaty Between the United States of America and Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters". See List of treaties.
Norman then wrote, "It's against this backdrop that the now-infamous July phone call between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should be seen for what it was—a perfectly legal and ethical conversation seeking cooperation on an investigation into corruption under a juridical agreement that was forged 21 years prior".
It looks to me like this treaty should be cited in the Wikipedia article titled "Trump–Ukraine scandal". Scott Gregory Beach (talk) 22:44, 16 November 2019 (UTC)
- You would need to find better sources than an Adrian Norman opinion piece. I'm not aware that major news publications have reported that the treaty somehow excuses Trump's attempt to extort the Ukraine government. - MrX 🖋 03:02, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
- I agree with MrX — The Epoch Times is not a reliable source, an Adrian Norman opinion piece in the Epoch Times is not a reliable source, and fringy pundit Gregg Jarrett is not a reliable source. I've reverted this addition. Let's keep this article fairly focused on the actual testimony and on high-equality expert analysis/commentary, which exists in abundance.

- Will you refer to Robert B. Charles as a "fringe commentator"?
- "Robert B. Charles served in the Reagan and Bush 41 White Houses, as Assistant Secretary of State under Colin Powell, and counsel to the US House National Security subcommittee for five years; a former litigator, he taught law at Harvard University’s Extension School, recently authored “Eagles and Evergreens” (2018), and consults in Washington DC".

Under the heading Whistleblower rules and hearsay in the section on Conspiracy Theories: "... Trump's claim was based on an article from The Federalist which incorrectly stated ..." the link for The Federalist leads to Wikipedia's article on The Federalist Papers. It should instead link to the article on The Federalist online magazine. This is easily confirmed by following the reference to the PolitiFact article which references The Federalist website.

It shows extreme bias to pretend that Biden is not bragging about something in the video https://www.wsj.com/video/opinion-joe-biden-forced-ukraine-to-fire-prosecutor-for-aid-money/C1C51BB8-3988-4070-869F-CAD3CA0E81D8.html MasseyTom (talk) 17:48, 19 November 2019 (UTC)
That video, and the quid pro quo that Biden brags about, is the essence of the issue. If you can't cite the video with additional citations that explain how Biden was correct or incorrect, then you are hiding the facts. MasseyTom (talk) 18:27, 19 November 2019 (UTC) Suggested addition: |
