quid pro quo /ˌkwid ˌprō ˈkwō/ noun a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something. Zelensky: We are ready to continue to cooperate for the next steps specifically we are almost. ready to buy more Javelins from the United States for defense purposes. Trump: I would like you to do us a favor though
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2...gain-it-illegal-solicit-election-help-foreign yes it is illegal to solicit election help from a foreign nation. next...
It’s not election help. It’s for the fraud and corruption you guys care so deeply about. Biden has no chance at winning anyway.
Favors are not illegal and In Fact, that is how deals are done. Already moved on from the text though? Lol Further, you left out pages of that call. Better to quote the full context. Would help your TDS.
you said it wasn't illegal I never said he did. What odds would you put on it, though? I posted the definition. Literally the second word of the definition is the word 'favor,' which is funny because that was exactly how Trump characterized it in the phone call....a "favor." So, are you saying deals are done by holding financial relief over Ukraine's head until they do your domestic political bidding? Nope. They are still part of the conversation. Which reminds me that you haven't answered my question yet...why didn't Trump ask our own intel services to investigate these matters? Why did he ask foreign countries to do so? Why was Trump telling the Chinese, in yet another secret phone call that was hidden on the private server, that he wouldn't speak up about the Hong Kong protests while they were negotiating? Do we stand for what is right or not? Again, Trump selling out America and Democracy to meet his own personal agenda. Answer the question, dude.
