Latin is just too hard

Comment:

These jokers are really straining themselves now.  Evidently the term "quid pro quo" is just too hard for the public to grasp, so they say they'll use other words that are easier for dummies to understand.  Trouble is extortion or bribery generally involves an exchange of monies that one receives, not what one gives.  You extort a sum of money, not a non-monetary favor.  Bribes are received in exchange for a favor.  The only thing that Trump would get would be an investigation of Biden, not any money.  The Ukrainians get the goods, but the Congress has already appropriated the money anyway.

If an investigation of Biden is the cause, the POTUS is already well within the law.  There is a probable cause of a crime, for which an investigation is called for.  Calling this investigation a "good" received is a very big stretch.
