Jim Hines doesn't like the term, 'quid pro quo' because it's an old Latin term that confuses people.

He wants to change the narrative to 'extortion'.

It certainly does require something, you Putz.

You pay me money and I’ll be quiet.
You pay me money and I won’t expose what you have done.
You pay me money and I won’t kill your family.
You pay me money and I won’t kill you.

Still, there is a much bigger crime there. Billions of taxpayer money disappeared in Ukraine. Even Repubs seem hesitant to bring this up.

They can’t prove wrongdoing and their case is already taking on water. This impeachment farce is tantamount to rearranging the chairs on the decks of the Titanic.

It isn’t going well for the Democrats.

Himes is probably confused by many “...old Latin terms...”

For example, the “logo” for Harvard (Himes’ college) is “VERITAS”.

Does Himes even know what “VERITAS” means?

Or even worse, does he even know what “TRUTH” means?

in a way that damaged American national security,”

HOW SO? The claim is there, but what’s their definition of ‘damage’?? And HOW does their definition fit the fact that while Congress knashes their teeth over a 4 month vetting delay by the President, it is Congress itself that is holding up hundreds of million of ‘aid’ to Ukraine by tabling the defense bill? And, btw, where is the congressional tracking of the hundreds of millions we’ve already given Ukraine that have somehow disappeared? Doesn’t money that disappears down a giant corrupt hole of a country that isn’t an ally affect our ‘national security’???
