It was revealed today that President Obama had asked the Ukrainian Government (sarcasm alert)

for help in the 2012 election.

It was further revealed that President Obama had implicitly threatened to withhold money earmarked for Ukraine if the help was not provided.

What if, in an alternate universe, that had been revealed about President Obama in 2013.

What would the right wing pundit corps have said?

What would the US corporate owned media have said?

What would Trump have said?

What would Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, or any other sitting GOP Congressperson have said?

Of course this is speculation, and sarcasm, but given the GOP's well known double standard....
