RE: Diplomatic quid pro quo — requiring certain actions, behavior or “conditions” in return for U.S. aid — is common, according to current and former diplomats
Yes, it is common, BUT ONLY if the conditions under which the quid pro quo are made are meant to BENEFIT your country not yourself personally.
Biden’s quid pro quo is clearly meant to benefit the BIDEN FAMILY. That is corruption.
If Trump demands that Ukraine investigate the Biden Quid Pro Quo, it “just so happens” to benefit Trump’s re-election, but the fact that there *IS* corruption there is within the purview of his job as President — TO ENFORCE THE LAW.
Is Trump’s motive a selfish one? ( not wanting to benefit the USA, but himself )? Well, this is not a matter for men like Adam Schiff to determine, unless they are God.
The democrats were using Ukraine to launder money for the DNC..
Proving motive, without insider testimony or a paper trail, is impossible.
That’s why the Dims continue to fish.
Quid pro quo is the essence of any negotiation. I'll give you a dollar. You give me a loaf of bread.You get out of my way or I'll give you a kick in your Schiff. The question is who benefits Trump or the USA?
And yes, you can buy bread for a dollar at Frys.
motive
Can’t there be a dual motive, as long as he is acting on behalf of the country first? {hard to prove}.
