Is this legitimate? Why hasn't it got wider attention?
ZitatA 1999 treaty with Ukraine, signed by Bill Clinton, provides a rock-solid basis for President Trump’s request for Ukrainian President Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden for alleged corruption.
The Bidens are in up to their armpits with regard to a potential renewed Burisma Holdings natural gas probe … an overdue investigation that was in fact initially stopped by VP Biden while he was in office … a fact that he subsequently bragged about.
On Thursday, Jesse Watters revealed on “The Five” that he found the treaty that provides solid legal ground for President Trump’s appeal for investigative assistance from Ukraine.
“I have found from 1999-2000 a treaty with Ukraine signed by Bill Clinton,” said Watters. “And the treaty with Ukraine on mutual legal assistance in criminal matters, which basically establishes a range of cooperation between the two governments of Ukraine and the United States about making testimony available, making people available, making documents and records available and assisting in the cooperation of mutual criminal matters. And they don’t even have to be criminal. They can just be allegations.
“So, there is a firm legal underpinning to the request, the commander-in-chief to a country, an ally who we have a treaty with about criminal procedure to say, ‘Hey, can you look into some potential corruption allegations involving a U.S. Citizen?'” he added.
Ok, Algernonpj, this I know: it doesn't support the narrative of orange man bad. But that doesn't explain why our side isn't making an issue of this treaty every moment of every day. That Trump supporters don't is why I ask if it's legitimate.

I had not heard of this treaty before, but I am aware that there have been multiple agreements that integrate law enforcement and investigations of criminal conduct world wide.
Perhaps Trump supporters just are unaware of the treaty. Yet I would have thought that pro Trump experts in foreign relations would be aware of it.
If aware of this treaty signed by Clinton I don't know why the info isn't waved in the face of the progressives.
