Top Diplomat Testified That Trump Request Was “Literal” Definition of Quid Pro Quo

Except for the fact that the President of Ukraine says that nothing happened.

Here’s the problem as I see it. Nothing ACTUALLY happened. Even if Trump asked for something to be done, nothing was ACTUALLY done. Asking isn’t a crime. Doing is a crime. If you ask someone to kill your boss, that isn’t illegal. If they ACTUALLY do it after you ask, that would be illegal. Trump held back the money, but then he gave it to them without them actually doing something for it. Close but no actual cigar. I think the Dems jumped the gun on this one. They’re so intent on impeachment, they started investigations before the crime actually happened. They should have waited and recorded him actually doing it and THEN impeached him for it.
