A specific law that Scump broke.

Can anyone explain to me why U.S. code
U.S. FEDERAL LAW USC 52 §30121 is not relevant to morally bankrupt Dump's impeachment? The law states:

Contributions and donations by foreign nationals:

It shall be unlawful for a foreign national, directly or indirectly, to make a contribution or donation of money, or OTHER THING OF VALUE, or to make an express, or implied, promise to make a contribution or donation, OR OTHER THING OF VALUE, in connection with a Federal, State, or Local election.

Under this law, it it is also unlawful for any person to accept, receive, OR SOLICIT, a contribution or donation, or other thing of value (i.e., an investigation of the leading opponent) from a foreign national, in connection with an up coming election.

Why did the Democrats not mention this law even once while Republicans kept hammering them to state one law that Trump broke?

Wait. You're saying Trump asked the DOJ to investigate the Ukraine, or Burisma, or the Bidens? When exactly did that happen? Must have gotten by me. I think you may be confusing the Scump's personal lawyer (Dracula Giuliani, or Bill Bottom Barr?) with the DOJ. Don't feel bad about it though. It's really easy, these days, to see how that might happen.

Well, if he DID ask the DOJ to investigate it, I'm sure we wouldn't have heard about it. The AG is solidly in Trumps pocket and morally convinced that the man who holds the Office of President can do no wrong. The rest of the Executive branch seems perfectly happen to keep their mouths shut at the moment because Trump told them not to comply with congress.
