PLUS, since USA has a treaty with Ukraine for investigations, it would have been appropriate for PDJT to ask for help. And foreign aid is almost always conditioned on cooperation from the recipient countries.
In short, had he done what is alleged, he would have been perfectly justified and correct. He’s got nothing to defend on this one.
This is another example of the left wing news media reporting the exact opposite of what actually happened.
Is there something wrong with a quid pro quo? Isn’t it kind of done all the time, by many different people? It’s called leverage.
Yup... These Dem’s leak what they want, when they want. Unless our side stands up and says something contrary - the narrative is going to be negative against Trump. The truth will prevail... I just wish there was more light on truth.
Yep, more fantasy land noise from the Demcorat Facist Party toadies in the Fake News.
He “felt” something in a conversation. His feelings are utterly irrelevant. He assumed something that was not part of any direction to him by any part of the US Government. To try and manufacture a “bomb shell” out of this is ludicrous
Does so! Does not! Does so! Does not! Ad infinitum.
Today it has been reported that Sondland said that there was a “quid pro quo”.
More Fake news, distortions, etc? Let’s see what develops. Sondland might find his ass before the Sen. Foreign Relations committee, also under oath and possibly in an open hearing. Getting Popcorn and chips for this one.
So once again the Fake News Democrat Fascist Party noise machine is lying to us.
“PLUS, since USA has a treaty with Ukraine for investigations, it would have been appropriate for PDJT to ask for help. And foreign aid is almost always conditioned on cooperation from the recipient countries.”
That fact exasperates me maybe more than anything else about this particular witch hunt. Why waste time on arguing whether or not there was a quid pro quo when the bottom line is the president has the right to expect certain things in return for money given to foreign countries? Giving it return for investigating possible corruption is not only commendable but, one could argue, we are bound by a mutual agreement to do so.
This should be moved to breaking news! It makes the Sondland testimony very clear.
Sort of like, “I’ll vote for you if you promise to do my bidding.” There are specific legalalties that attend to how holders of public office conduct their affairs. The lawless ones inhabiting DC are not about to shed clear light on those legalities, but if justice has its way, a significant amount of prosecution will come about.
Thanks, but I don’t really think quid pro quo is even worth mentioning. First is was the Russia hoax. Now it is this one. What hoax will it be next week?
The Dems are just ticked off because someone dared to question the allocation of taxpayer dollars. How dare President Trump demand to know if our money was going into corrupt politicians pockets or to fight the Russian incursion
I agree. The fact that Biden happens to be a “political rival” (hahaha-as if Biden stands a chance) does not negate the responsibility to curtail self-enrichment by sale of national influence.
Yes, it was on video that he got some investigation stopped. He is guilty as sin.
As long as QPQ isn’t for personal gain,(see Biden Family) I can’t see the illegality.
Presumed? Law 101 mens rea
Trump said no quid pro quo. Mic drop
“when, why or by whom the aid was suspended.’.”
Find that out and I bet we find a dem operative.
Trump’s instincts to not arm the Ukraine were correct and he only did it because he was being smeared as soft on Russia and pushed to do so by the senate war monger GOP contingent like McCain.
I hope this issue does not take down Trump but I don’t trust the GOP congress which I view as backstabbers and only fearing the base for their Trump support.
I also hope this makes the future Republicans want to cut funding to the State Dept and CIA and Pentagon and FBI and police as organs of the Deep State.
