As the hours of transcripts of witnesses in the Ukraine impeachment inquiry rack up and continue to underwhelm, Democrats and their allies in the media have seized on a new tactic. The old, archaic term “quid pro quo,” is about to go the way of the Dodo. In its place the terms “extortion” and “bribery” will fly about like hot air balloons in California wine country.
Here we see the new terms in action from Rep. John Garamendi, D-Calif., yesterday on CNN. The supposed justification for this ramping up of the rhetoric is an amendment that Ambassador Gordon Sondland made to his testimony before the impeachment inquiry in which he said

Hey, if they can falsify charges to crucify Jesus, they can make anything up about Donald Trump. I always have to laugh when someone thinks the Bible is ancient and doesn't relate to today. It is my hope that more and more people will read the Bible from beginning to end. The parallels are uncanny and scary at times.

All they're doing is accusing Trump of all the things they themselves have been doing, since about the 1960's.

They are obviously changing this language as the details of Biden's real extortion and bribery crime to have the prosecutor fired to protect his son's company start coming out. Anyone who has followed what John Solomon has documented that closes the loop from Burisma's email to State for help to Biden's trip to Ukraine to force the firing of Shokin with the aid money understands this is a classic payoff.
The question that remains is can the MSM cover up this story the way they covered up the Epstein story for 3 years to protect Hillary's presidential campaign to drag Joe over the finish line.

Low information voters are big on Latin so they had to dumb down their play. Wait till they find out that 'impeach' doesn't mean anything and President Trump is still.. PRESIDENT TRUMP. That will be funny.

There must be a quid pro quo for extortion or bribery to exist

I keep saying the Dems are missing a slam dunk for impeachment and Senate conviction. Just get one of his hotel maids to flip and admit that Trump told her to tear off those "Do Not Remove Under Penalty of Federal Law " tags off his hotel mattresses.

If one thing doesn't work, we can try something else...these butt wipes need to stop this crap and do something meaningful besides trying to 'get' Trump...don't they ever ask what their voters want? Don't they ever do that?. They get free mailing and when was the last time you EVER got a questionalire from one of them?

So to put it another way.....the majority of stupid democrats don't really know what quid pro quo means and the leftist focus groups said the slogan wasn't working so now it's "extortion and bribery". Democrats are much better acquainted with "extortion and bribery" as it's part of their daily business.
Having come up with their new slogan the DNC quickly called the useful idiot media to give them their marching orders and daily talking points. Another nasty job well done by the party of evil.

Agree with #3. Just hope Mitch McConnell doesn’t turn into Pilate when this mess is dumped on his hands.

Hey dims, why not change your rhetoric to say, "Trump is right, we made the whole thing up and hope that some of our team goes to jail for the crimes they committed, Trump/Pence 2020."

The dems "hand" is all jokers. Now they are ramping up their propaganda media to spin PR but no matter what you call it, nothing is still nothing.
Besides the rabid Left, I think most Americans are tired of the dems game. Dems accuse and pontificate endlessly on how bad Trump is to have done these bad things but they NEVER have any proof. They look like fools. So do they get better information or real evidence? Nope. They get secret. Secret rooms. No Republicans allowed. Anonymous witnesses. Secret testimony. No counter questioning. The purpose is to drag out the theater and maintain the drumbeat. It worked for 2018. Mueller hadn't done his face plant yet. People thought there might be something there. Schiff promised us there was. But THUD, there wasn't. Not only was Trump innocent, NO AMERICAN colluded with Russians. There was NO crime. No one was prosecuted except for the classic bullying process crimes that is all the the "special" prosecutor seems to be good for.
The American People know this and are now highly doubtful that Trump has done anything wrong. Meanwhile it is clear he has done a lot of good. It is also clear the Left/dems/media are unbalanced and hate, hate, hate Trump although it is quite unclear as to why? Simply because he is following a Conservative policy direction? That is no reason to hate someone.
At some point, the dems are going to have to MAKE A CASE with real proof, not political hot air. Their problem is that there is no case to make. Their time is running out.
