It leads back to Trump's personal lawyer. While this is less specific, it feels more on point. Their entire purpose of attorney/client privilege is obfuscation.
Trump cannot pardon Guiliani because this has to do with President’s impeachment. Read the Constitution. The Trumpster can’t pardon any of these. Maybe this will make them talk and cop a plea. If I was Donald, I’d be worried.
Go for it, if the DEMs think they can prevail on removing an elected president they should move on impeachment and be prepared to except the consequences in 2020
We all know he did it. Question is whether GOP has a shred of integrity left. The answer is No. TraitorsSupportTraitorTrump
Thank you for YOUR service.
I give this a BS award!
All fake news, best damn President we’ve ever had
Bribery and extortion you mean. Be precise and clear.
No need to read past 'closed-door depositions.' Americans should resist this Soviet-style thuggery and the Pravda-esque reporting by NPR.
How would you know? leaks
Mostly, ha
Acnowledgement of extortion and abuse of power.
And NPR continues to tweet unproven things as facts.
FakeNews
SuhithaE Trump and his corrupt White House has to go
Do not need a fancy Latin phrase-just call it extortion
Someone should tell the Ukraine PM.
This Ukrainian shakedown is part of the long destruction of our Democracy. It started with Russia. It is all in the Mueller Report and now it is out in the open. All roads lead to Putin, money, corruption, Manafort and now Giuliani.
Where is Ollie North?
Why the focus on the quid pro quo? Just the ask was a violation of his oath of office. The rest just compounds the offense. Why isn’t the press making that clear?
Ukraine . The country , refuted everything that’s being presented by the democrats! Everything ! This another attempt to unseat a president. This will have lasting effects. Civil War is coming
All roads lead back to TRUMP. I think people are underestimating Giuliani.... I think he’ll throw Trump and Barr under the bus when push comes to shove....
Giuliana is becoming the scapegoat.
LIAR NPR Read the darn phone transcript
What were the Bidens up to over there?
Lock them both up!
There will never be a coup
EdDarrell Wow , talk about delusional !!!
Does anyone at all in the media, care about the 7 billion of our tax dollars that the Obama administration lost in Ukraine? And does anyone in the media care that two people in Ukraine were TRIED and CONVICTED of colluding with the DNC and Hilary Clinton in the 2016 election? 🤷🏼♀️
So how do we fuck this up? We’re Democrats! We snatch defeat from the jaws of victory!!
… from the public hearings set to start Wednesday in the House we'll see if your loose interpretation of what you perceive is the truth is shared by the public … nytimes nytpolitics CNNPolitics nprpolitics washingtonpost
Stop saying quid pro quo and use the real terms of hate and difference of opinion ... your clueless bot will lap this up though.
Our government have always had conditions for giving a country aide. ALWAYS. And for Ukraine, WAY BEFORE TRUMP, the condition has been about wiping out corruption. EXCEPT on Joe Biden’s watch because his son was being used to influence the Obama admin and stop investigations.
Four words: We have the transcript. Seven more words: We are about to get another one.
No it doesn’t enemy of the people
Stop saying “quid pro quo” — the proper tens are “extortion” and “bribery”
DebbieMayf It is really important to emphasize that a quid pro quo is not even necessary in order to be an impeachable offense.
Total BS
No there is not transcript call shows no crime . Whistleblower which charges was brought on is fake and does not match due to.he was not on call. So hes out now a big coup
Second, third hand testimony reveals quid pro quo. 😂😂😂
😂😂😂 Nope. READ THE TRANSCRIPTS!!
Even though President realDonaldTrump denies a 'quid pro-quo', in a phone call conversation with the Ukrainian president, the actions of his personal attorney RudyGiuliani says otherwise. Remember... it is the action(s) of the official; not what they said.
STOP using the phrase quid quo pro - use language the POTUS CAN ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND: bribery, corruption, extortion!
I am just waiting for the President to say 'I don't that Giuliani guy. You'll have to ask him. I don't know nothing about him or what he did. Talk to him'
Nope. None of these are true.
NPR, you're no better than CNN. You're bought off too. Thousands of pages of 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. hand accounts of he said/she said. My interpretation is.... I believe he thought..... Thousands of pages of smoke-filled, barroom BS. Still no smoking gun. Still, the only
What a complete joke! This article cannot be serious!
LIAR
EXTORTIONIST
Find a cry closet.
I’m getting very tired of the mealy mouthed NPR reporting & I wear Birkenstocks. Call it extortion.
We still need to hear Hunter testify as to why he was selected to serve on the board and did he use access to his father to gain favorable positions for the company.
It saddens me that today in America half the population is so misinformed that we need to repeat “Crime was committed” a million times in a thousand different ways hoping that that half will finally listen or care.
Stop saying 'quid pro quo'... and call it what it is 'bribery and extortion'.
So Joe Biden uses the power of his office to orchestrate 50k/month pay days and billion dollar deals for his son and brother. And Trump asked a question about it. And Trump is the bad guy? NPR has really thrown out objectivity the past couple years.
Some of the trolls here haven’t gotten the memo and are still using GOP’s talking point from last week. You guys, the GOP now says it was quid pro quo, but they don’t care because it’s not as bad as a consensual blow job.
realDonaldTrump RepAdamSchiff He must not escape this time.
Not a quid pro quo: who the hell came up with that term. Extortion and bribery. Extortion. Bribery. Abuse of power. Cover up.
news flash: Trump is dirty. He's always been dirty. There isn't anything about this so called human being that isn't corrupt. Personal life? corrupt. Businesses? corrupt. Political behavior? CORRUPT. Who DOESN'T know this? Who HASN'T known this?
Hey. Stop using “quid pro quo”-it’s bribery and extortion
Questions carefully crafted ONLY by Democrats. Remember the difference between the questions at any other public inquiry since President Trump has been in office? Hmmmm.
Just say extortion and bribery. Please. Cease the Latin!
Please stop using quid pro quo. It’s EXTORTION and BLACKMAIL!
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing republicans to vote for him
Rudy will take the fall. The narcissist will continue to be Putin's puppet.
RudyGiuliani will be realDonaldTrump fallguy on Ukraine . Guaranteed.
Call it what it is, BRIBERY & CORRUPTION. Trump needs to go.
I can’t wait.
The Ukrainian President didnt seem to be on board, which decidedly means this is not quid pro quo. It's extortion.
and on to public hearings 😊
We have the transcript....thousands of pages of innuendo, supposition peppered with hate and orange man bad complaints are irrelevant.
Say bribery. Extortion.
Hence, the new GOP defense of “Yes, he did it, but he commits crimes all the time, so, it’s ok.” GOPTraitors
