Democrats are trying to manufacture a crime, They failed with the quid pro quo angle, so now they’re moving on to bribery!

They’re panicking and getting desperate because nobody’s buying impeachment.

The problem with trying to call this bribery, is that both Trump and Zelensky were discussing things that were proper functions of their elected office.

Presidents have the authority and responsibility to conducts investigations of corruption; they also have authority and responsibility to provide monetary aid that has been approved by Congress.

So, the conversation really comes down to two leaders discussing the ways they are going to do their jobs.

Have the dems been able to delete the video of Biden squeezing the Ukrainians for $1B?

So, they decided to go after Joe Biden now, since he admitted on video to extortion and bribery...

The marketing arm strikes again. Quid pro quo is a definite non-starter with the majority of normies. No doubt they market tested and bribery and extortion rated 1-2 so I expect these words will be the new “This is Extremely Dangerous to Our Democracy” among MSM.

Their stated "crimes" against Trump have evolved as their witnesses are destroyed and the verbiage quid pro quo has become synonymous with Joe Biden, their own guy.

So they just keep hunting and pecking around in that dark star chamber in the basement of the capitol trying to come up with something, anything they can nail Trump with that will sound credible to the American public.

I'm sure SchifftyEyes, if he hasn't already done so, will change obstruction of justice, when the WH tells witnesses to not come forward to testify if called.

I heard Alan Dershowitz on the radio that there is no such thing as obstruction of justice with congress. Obstruction of congress is not a crime he said.

The longer this joke goes on, the more likely the punch line will fall flat with the American voter audience.

Quid pro quo is just as other way of saying bribery. I think changing it to bribery is a mistake by the Dems. People understand what a bribe is. This ain’t one.

I’m pretty sure bribery is meant as taking a bribe for personal gain in which case 95% of congress is guilty.

The reason the Democrats are moving on to bribery is that "bribery" is literally a part of the Constitutional requirement for impeachment ("Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors").

"Quid pro quo" has been understood as a common foreign affairs (or even state affairs) tactic for a long time when aid is involved. Calling it "Bribery" makes it "Constitutional" and lets them hawk it to the masses as legitimate.
