Is it just me or are democrats not even using the term bribery in a correct manner? Shocking, I know.
Here is the definition I have.
Bribery
The offering, giving, receiving, or soliciting of something of value for the purpose of influencing the action of an official in the discharge of his or her public or legal duties
How is Trump matching this definition even by the charges brought against him?
I think the problem for democrats is that the vast number of American, educated by their fabulous government run education, have no idea what Qid Pro Quo even is. In fact, they are lucky to have any inkling as to what bribery actually is.
But this also works in the democrats favor, since most Americans will simply swallow their fake DNC run news as always by simply agreeing to the notion that Trump is guilty of bribery.

@whodey saidThink and say what you like, whodey. But whatever Trump's problems are, his main problem is not that poorly educated Americans are going after him.

Dear Whodey - Pardon me for nit picking, but It's Quid not Qid. It's amazing to me how you can make a mess of so much spelling here, even with spell check on this site.

No comment on the term bribery, eh?
Will the fake news ever stop?
My public education only taught me that I'm neither male nor female, I have only 12 years to end before climate change kills us, guns are evil, taxes and bans solve all our ills, and most importantly that phone number for a quick abortion if you are in a fix.
@mchill saidIs that YOUR definition?
Dear Whodey - Bribery is not complicated, even for us Liberals with government education. But it seems you're having trouble with it, so I left the definition below.
Money or favor given or promised in order to influence the judgment or conduct of a person in a position of trust
Where did you get if from?
I have not read that definition anywhere.
If that is the definition, throw all of Washington DC in jail. Even Obama had to bribe members of his own party to vote for Obamacare.

@whodey saidThere have been numerous instances of bribes relating to Donald Trump: the most famous is the bribe he paid to Pam Bondi to stop the case into Trump University in Florida, but he is also routinely soliciting and accepting bribes at the properties he still owns and controls. For example, certain Saudis have paid bribes by renting rooms in his hotels and never using them, and Donald Trump has been open about accepting such bribes to influence his decisions.

The Ukraine scandal, however, doesn't involve a bribe but rather extortion.
Poorly educated people are the only demographic where Trump commands majority approval. Since you have to be a moron to not realize that Clinton was the overwhelmingly superior candidate, this is not surprising.

Seriously, are you stupid?
He withheld funds already approved by Congress (something of value) until Zelensky publicly acceeded to Trump's demands (the action of an official). After the whistleblower came forward, the president did finally release the funds. But the bribery was already on record. White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney also admitted at a news conference that "Get over it! We do this all the time."
I see your normal lying has turned into denying reality.
Yes, it is BRIBERY. Identical usage as quid pro quo. Something for something.
Let's recap:
US Constitution, Article II, Section 4:
"The President, Vice President and all Civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."
The framers obviously believed bribery was so serious as to make it a prime cause for Impeachment. So you can give up your gaslighting now.
