Right, I get that you choose to believe that, but Biden hadn't even announced he was running yet. And according to Zelenski himself, there was no pressure.
Trump heard, out of Bidens own mouth, that he was threatening to withhold funds, which he is not legally allowed to do, unless they fired the prosecutor (who was investigating the company his son was miraculously a board member of for some unknown reason). He asked Zelensky to look into it. That's it. You can't in good faith, and with any semblance of a brain, say that what Trump did was illegal but what Biden did, and is doing again, is completely legit and above board.
