The grounds for impeachment are straightforward: The POTUS abused the power of his presidency to personally bribe Ukraine by withholding aid they were already entitled to, unless Ukraine agreed to meddle in the 2020 election by opening sham investigations into his political rivals
In fact, the Founders had a broader conception of bribery than what’s in the criminal code. Their understanding was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholder’s abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trump’s conduct—it practically defines it. - Ben Berwick, Oct 3 2019 [10]
