I believe the word quid quo pro means..... Giving/getting something, in return for something ( usually negative), which in our local parlance means..... Scratch my back, I scratch your back... Don't this conote bribery/corruption?.

Biden/Archer were paid about 3.5 million by the energy company, and in essence were lobbying the USA government to end investigation into the energy company. Reporter John Solomon secured emails using the FOIA detailing what happened. Someone here posted links to this.

The question is, was there quid pro quo in the conversation between Trump and Ukraine's president?.

CTPlayer:
Not from what I read in the 2 transcripts. All politics is quid pro quo, like foreign aid. We give $$$ to Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Israel and then they use that money to buy USA manufactured military weapons systems. Trump said early on give me money to build a wall and I will work with you on DACA. Dems said no and Trump EO'ed DACA.

Like I said before if you want to put political opponents in jail for process crimes, lying etc., enjoy that government.

There is no significant offensive as well...and the fact that Schiff refuses to let even unrecognized republican congress members speak will be the democrats undoing.
Every witness deyve brought so far had 4th hand information.

This is the president of the United States and you are charging for bribery lol what happened to the extortion or quidproquo

When that came up I was just confused how, when? It wasn't until Schiff said dey will now build a new case around witness intimidation that I realized the donkeys have nothing infact dey are grasping at straws.

Look if this hearing remains like this and sondlsnd and vulkner don't squeal then I'm sorry.

This is the Potus and he ain't going nowhere

Why would anyone think Trump is involved in crimes just bc his lawyer Michael Cohen is in prison, his BFF Roger Stone was convicted of 7 felonies, his campaign manager is in jail, plus his asst campaign manager and former Nat Sec advisor are going to jail?! i wonder...

Flynn was a holdover and got set up by the FBI. Stone same deal regarding the witch hunt. Trump had like 4 campaign managers. Manafort has been around forever. The Deep Staters are next up.

It might be hard, if not almost impossible to "push back" with "objective defense" that doesn't exist.

Trump, as usual, shoots with an air gun!.

You are a joker. How was Mike Flynn a holdover from Obama administration?

He was fired from his post as the Director of Defence Intelligence Agency in 2014. After that He was a senior advisor to Trump on National Security issues during the presidential elections in 2016.

Stop putting forward false information in a public forum.

please this is just too stale. Don't be deceived by qanon, i was about to be roped when Obama was president believing all these conspiracy nonsense. But it's just too fake. And whats surprising is that you with no knowledge of how the US foreign policy work talk about deep state, why don't you listen to the testimonies of these officials under oath and determine who really runs the deep state? isn't it surprising the irony, Rudy subverting career officials to further trumps PERSONAL bargain? Dense

hotwax:


The deep state are those people who obtain fake fisa warrant to be spy on trump campaign...they plant anti Trump wakos in trump cabinet.

They are looking for trump sex videos everywhere...

Rudiguliani is trump Attorney who understand the dirty politics and is ready play them...

You can't be a nice guy to fight the deep state..they fight dirty...

For example, I saw a CNN headline saying "Trump sex video may have been found". I can assure you if Obama sex video is released CNN won't cover it.

That's deep states in action..get that in ur head

You cannot be a personal beneficiary of a quid pro quo whilst in govt service. You cannot do it for personal monetary gain AND most especially for personal political gain (POWER) just because you are occupying the office of President.

To make matters worse, the aid Trump was threatening was not economic aid but security aid required for Ukraine to defend itself from Russia.

This orange buffoon will resign. I dont think he will wait to be impeached

All I can say tho is that if dey fail to impeach him he is going to run another 4yrs

Flynn will never serve a day in jail.

doitforyou:


I don’t think he’ll be impeached either. Republicans control the senate and senate Republicans are scared of their base who are overwhelmingly Trump supporters. The rep might vote to impeach but it is DOA at the senate ala Bill Clinton. However, Trump is definitely going in November. Dems are numerically more than Republicans but Dems don’t vote. However, Trump is a rallying cry for the Dem base.
