The President of the United States is no longer allowed to negotiate with other world leaders?

The Clintons are the masters at quid pro quo, and pay for play. They probably started it in Arkansas, but we saw it early on in the 90’s when they traded Lincoln Bedroom sleepovers, and held coffee klatches in the White House dining room for campaign donations. along with selling pardons to fugitives, and the list goes on, and on. Of course Clinton’s pardon of Marc Rich was on his last day in office, but there were plenty of other impeachable offenses over the eight years that were never explored.

Every negotiation in and out of government involves a quid pro quo. I give you something you want and you give me something I want. It's been part of my job for 35 years.

Yes, this whole thing is a sham, aimed at ignorant people, the products of an education by Democrat teacher unions.

QPQ statute? Is it next to the collusion statute near the “talking to foreign heads of state” statute? Over near the right to abortion amendment just past the no one NEEDS an AR15 clause?

Thank you for the common sense post, which makes the essential points. If anyone did anything improper with respect to the Ukrainian issues, it was the Bidens.

Why wait for, or count on, the Senate to look into Biden’s corruption? That is a job for law enforcement. Would not be surprised if it is already inprocess.

As for investigations in search of a crime, those tend to be on the increase. Is that not the same thing as a traffic screen for DUIs? We’ve gotten lost in the weeds with our jurisprudence, and it did not happen overnight.

Trial by media seems more effective. Why does the media have so much power?

Yep. wWat the ‘rats are doing is like the police coming to your house because you called to report a burglary, and instead of arresting the burglar, they arrest you for interfering with his livelihood. It’s an upside down world.

Reuters- “Was there a quid pro quo? ... the answer is yes,” Sondland said.

I am listening to the hearing and Schiff is closing. He claims he knows what Trump is thinking. Neat trick huh?

This obsession with whether Trump's dealings with the Ukraine involved a "quid pro quo" drives me nuts. Virtually ALL diplomacy involves a quid pro quo - you promise this, you do that, and we'll do something in return. It's called NEGOTIATION! It is what treaties are based on, it is what much legislation is based on, it is part of the essence of political maneuvering.

But somehow, conservatives have let themselves be put in the position where if some sort of quid pro quo existed between Trump and the Ukraine, this is considered evidence of corruption! Hannity has been one of the worst; I think he's an idiot.

Thanks for posting PreciousLiberty. Please take no part of the following critique personally.

"That is the charge against President Trump, that he asked for investigations into Burisma and the Bidens [??? emphasis added] that personally benefited him, rather than for other reasons."

The 12th Amendment does not recognize presidential nominees of constitutionally undefined political parties, Biden just another politically correct candidate for POTUS imo.

Excerpted from the 12th Amendment: "The Electors shall meet in their respective states, and vote by ballot for President and Vice-President, one of whom, at least, shall not be an inhabitant of the same state with themselves; they shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President [emphasis added], and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice- President, and of the number of votes for each, which lists they shall sign and certify, and transmit sealed to the seat of the government of the United States, directed to the President of the Senate; […]"

Next, treaty between USA and Ukraine promotes mutual support for investigating corruption.

Treaty Between the United States and Ukraine on Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters

Remember in November 2020!

MAGA! KAG! (Keep America Great!)
