He went where the corruption was and it was in Ukraine.
Especially after the Ukraine President said he wanted to drain the swamp also.
It's really not complicated or shocking when you're not eager to be shocked.
The Department of Defense certified that Ukraine had taken action to root out corruption.

We know that there is absolutely zero basis for any kind of reasonable estimation that either Ukraine wasn't doing enough to battle corruption, or that aid should be withheld as a result.
Further, if one looks at the pattern of behavior it's clear that this had nothing to do with corruption. If it was about corruption, why wasn't it widely announced as Biden had done so earlier? Why was there an attempt to hid the call record? Why isn't there any corroboration in the government that this to be the case; indeed, why was the rest of the government stating the complete opposite? Why were anti-corruption advocates on the American side such as Yovanovitch pushed aside?
We also know that, according to George Kent, this extortion scheme was specifically about Zelensky announcing an investigation into Clinton and the Bidens and had nothing to do with corruption:
"POTUS wanted nothing less than President Zelenskyy to go to microphone and say investigations, Biden and Clinton."
George Kent is the Deputy Assistant to Mike Pompeo.
We have the testimonies of Bill Taylor, Marie Yovanovitch, Gordon Sondland and others that corroborate Kent's testimony, which were all made under oath.
