There was quid pro quo Adam. He just didn't use those exact words.
Ironically, people are responding to the troll with convincing arguments and solid evidence. It's probably made this thread more informative to the random reader with incomplete knowledge.
I think trolling only works when it lowers the discourse through volume and generates circular arguments and frustrations. There aren't enough trolls here, this story is arrow-straight, no one's getting frustrated.
Nah man, he is just surrounded by complete idiots now. All the smart ones jumped ship or got "YA FIRED!"
Let me post this one more time
...don't get caught up in all the quid pro quo stuff, that's exactly what the Trump admin wants, to set the terms of Trump's guilt to a subjective argument that's difficult to prove. Simply focus on what's proveably illegal and ignore the noise.
It keeps getting better and better.
Damn if this isn't gonna be a great story some day
Whoa really?? This is the first I've heard about that... and here I was, about to give ol' Moscow Mitch props for doing something decent.
My favorite part is that he might have sunk himself in an effort to sink Biden, when the best way to sink Biden is to let him talk.
Clearly they didn't have the 30-second Undo Send option on Gmail set up yet - rookie mistake.
He will never do anything decent. There's always a fucked up reason.
What is Rudy Giuliani's official designation with the White House and Trump?
Trump sounds like he wanted Rudy to craft something with the Ukraine. Almost as a go-over-the-head of the DoJ and AG Barr with this goofy Biden investigation thing.
Is Rudy a NSA? Or just a lawyer?

Definitely agree. It's the same thing with Mueller--keep repeating "collusion" (since you know that specific word is unlikely to appear in the report) and then claim victory.
No one here is going to pull up the exact law and your response after most of those helpful replies was still "show me where he broke the law" as if we're members of Congress. If you don't get it by now, that's something else.
In some email systems you can actually recall and email and remove it from users mailboxes.
Their base loves the 'deep state' crap. Any day now Q is going to have all the Democrats and Deep State arrested.
OK, so, let's for the sake of comparison say your boss freezes your next paycheck. Two days after he freezes it, he calls you into his office and says that you've had a good relationship, that he's done a lot for you, but you haven't reciprocated. He then segues into telling you to fudge some accounting numbers for him. He doesn't mention your paycheck in exchange, but the implication is there.
Like, this is what the situation with Trump is:
The chyrons I saw earlier today we're hilariously just saying that the transcript was released but not mentioning anything in it. Meanwhile every other media station was breaking down Trump's quotes in theirs.
he is an informal cybersecurity adviser and part of trump's legal team
yup, just crazy to think he had his personal lawyer and the DOJ ask a foreign government to dig dirt on a possible election opponent lol
So how the fuck does Trump give Rudy the power to assist in some international investigation ahead of the DoJ?
They want an investigation so that they can invent all sorts of stuff that this investigation means. Look at Benghazi. They don't hope for crimes. They need an opportunity to invent some.
Rudy is Trump's personal lawyer, which is a blatant conflict of interests. Its just another the GOP won't hold him accountable for.
I genuinely don't think that person was trolling... Why does this happen so often on forums? I think the guy was seriously asking what the crime was. Some people aren't 100% informed on this stuff. I would imagine to the average person, they don't really understand the gravity of what is in this "transcript"
Ahahaha I love it when people are being optimistic about being able to recall an email... I still remember back when I was working at a place that used Outlook for email and it just pops up the dialogue "SoAndSo would like to recall this email, Yes/No" and you can just click on No and keep it lol.
Apart from that, nothing would give me more pleasure than if that asshole Barr also gets caught up in this.
The obvious answer is that he just likes access. He'll do anything for it.
There's a really revealing interview where the interviewer just straight up asks him why he changed and his answer is basically "He's the president, so I want to be the guy the president counts on."
Here's the original but you need an account: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/25/magazine/lindsey-graham-what-happened-trump.html
I don't think anyone in the WH knows what the POTUS office is all about
probably thinking of a monarchy form of government
LMFAO, oh, wow.
First with him & Rudy Giuliani admitting to it on National TV, then with Trump himself revealing this transcript.
He's dumb as a brick. Trump is his own worst enemy.

Trump: now I want you to tell the fake news that I didn't say quip pro pro
Ukraine president: um...you didn't say quip pro pro which isn't even a term or saying?
Trump: see? Fake news again people
UP: you did ask us about Biden though
I would ignore 99% of those emails but 100% of people read 100% of "recalled" emails.
May as well call it Streisand Effect Mode.
Tori better start cleaning out her desk and start applying for a job at Fox News.
its basicaly a testimony from people inside the WH its reliable,
Like you said he's just a lawyer. Meaning it's pretty hard to defend the whole affair considering how much Rudy looks like he was going to be involved.
He really can't, which is what makes this even worse.
you can easily find the linkedin with a simple google search to laugh at her nazi fuck face
If you watched the conference he did, he clearly said there was quid pro quo. This was a response to a reporter that asked him to respond to this Republican talking point and he was like, yes there was, but, even if it wasn't directly stated...
Schiff did a fantastic job at explaining why this is bad. I hope he becomes the front speaker on this at least for now.
He's a fucking dumbass surrounded by fucking dumbasses. I don't think anyone in his orbit has a clue about anything. Barr pushed for this memo that links him to all this mess to be released over objections by Pompeo. It's just.... a bunch of dumfucks walking into walls I guess.
