.BarbMcQuade discusses what impeachable offenses she thinks Pres. Trump has committed: 1. Demanding an investigation into a political rival for personal gain. 2. Withholding and leveraging military aid.

As the impeachment process moves into a public phase, Democrats push to draw attention away from framing the impeachment argument around the term "quid pro quo"

and instead stake their claim outright that President Trump criminally extorted Ukraine for his political benefit. Barbara McQuade joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss.

BarbMcQuade 1- He “demanded”nothing 2- No aide was withheld

BarbMcQuade The exchange itself,even if Zelensky had agree (which he ended up doing anyways) is bribery.If pressure was applied so that Zelensky was doing it unwilling, then it rises to extortion. Without either,the request to investigate political opponent in future election is also illegal
