Biden is on video threatening to withhold aid to Ukraine unless they do what he wants, and you don't think that shows that Biden did anything wrong. (that is textbook definition of "quid pro quo")
NEWSFLASH: Quid pro quo is not a criminal act. It's Latin for "this for that". In this impeachment case, the reality seems to be, it was "do this, or else". That's extortion, which is form of bribery.

Seems to me that Schiff's two "star witnesses" have basically admitted they don't actually know anything important. (Didn't one of them admit a few days ago that he only read about quid pro quo in the New York Times?) I hope we can all agree that disagreeing with president's foreign policy is not a high crime or misdemeanor.

Determine if Trump's re-election in 2020 is affected at all by these hearings.
His re-election is already guaranteed, these hearings are just adding to the landslide impact.
Yes, that is simply my opinion...

Biden witholds aid condition on benefits owed solely to the US without partisan bent.
Trump withheld aid because they didn't investigate his upcoming political rival.
Its pretty simple to me.

Biden was very clear that he said you have six hours, if you dont agree to fire shokin, you get no money.
Thats "do this or esle"
So you admit he committed extortion.

Ooops, now they added that Obama did not give military aid to Ukraine AND THEN told the Russian president that Russia would have more flexibility with Ukraine in the future (which turned out to be an Russian invasion of Crimea), that testimony did not look good for Obama
(not that it had anything to do with the Impeachment hearing but still interesting)
