Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo., one of the seven Democratic impeachment managers prosecuting President Trump before the Senate, accused Trump of attempting to commit bribery in his dealings with Ukraine, but when asked why this was not one of the articles of impeachment, he did not appear to have an explanation.
Bribery is one of the specific offenses mentioned in the Constitution’s discussion of impeachment. The House impeached Trump for alleged abuse of power -- itself is not a statutory crime – and obstruction of Congress, but Crow insisted Sunday that the president was still guilty of attempted bribery.
“Yeah, specifically he did attempt to bribe and coerce a foreign government official, in this case, the president of Ukraine,” Crow told CNN's "State of the Union."

“Then why isn’t that an article?” asked host Brianna Keilar.
“You know we have to look at the entire context of what happened here,” Crow responded. “That’s what this is about. This is about the abuse of power...

“Those clowns are going to embarrass themselves.”
It’s next to impossible to embarrass a Democrat. They just look around to the first person near them, and point the finger of blame. Anything embarrassing becomes non existent, and they just go on as though nothing has happened.
Nobody outside the House of (unrepresentative) Representatives thinks that, Jason.
It's all about dethroning the duly elected President of the United States.
Something the Dems have been busy with right after the 2016 election didn't turn out quite as they expected.
They are pushing their luck with this latest tactic, as a number of less-partisan observers have recently noted.
(What has not been discussed in the mainstream media, but here and there, is the possibility of violence were this impeachment charade get carried to the Democrats' hoped-for conclusion. Politics can be a rough game.)
Do the dems really think they are going to shut the President up? He will be told to not speak of such as ordered, but he will. What will they do, hold the President in contempt?.
Orange man good. That’s their problem.
Exactly!
” We don’ need no sinkin’ laws. “
just for optics trump should park a wood chipper in front of the u.s. capitol...
these idiots are going to get shredded...
One must have a sense of shame and at less a small measure of ethics in order to be “embarrassed” ... the Democrats have neither.
Just so. I’ve never understood this part of the rat narrative. If it were a crime it would be extortion, that is threatening to withhold appropriated aid, bribery would be the offering of something you’re not already entitled to. Maybe it’s just that the focus groups were even more dim that your typical democrat
We share the same sir name, I certainly hope that POS isn’t a distant relative.
This political game is being played for the low info crowd who don’t know the difference between an allegation and material evidence.
You are exactly right. They have no shame so they cannot feel embarrassment.
The evil spell that’s over them is increasing in power. I’m serious.
Sorry, pal if he didn't do the crime, he ain't got the time.
DISMISSAL!!!!
Dearest Jason: You are such a pathetic, dishonest, integrity-free putz. Are you in mental health treatment for these apparent character flaws, you loser?
Bump!
It’s so sad how utterly inept and stupid these clowns are.
Crow is an ex combat veteran ranger officer turned loathsome, anti Constitution, gun hating, oath violating traitor bastard POS.
“.....the focus groups were even more dim that your typical democrat.”
My Lord, that’s a stretch.
