The only difference is I think you would be critical of Trump doing so, but are apparently perfectly ok with it in this case?
Is that more or less correct?
I lack an exhaustive memory of all the hilarious things Trump has said and done in his time in office, but I'd bet money that he's probably tweeted at Republican congressmen at some point demanding they need to launch investigations into his political opponents.
And that's fine, as far as the "Trump asking Congress to do something" part goes? Like, they're separate bodies, Trump is free to
ask them to do his bidding for them, but he doesn't have any actual power. The reason liberals might (correctly) object to that is because of the part where Trump sees Putin arresting Alexei Navalny and says "our country should be more like that", not because of the "Trump asked Congress to do it" part.
As always, liberal hypocrisy is limited only by Kelhus' imagination.
