It’s called soliciting bribes. And really really damaging to have our government run in this kind of transactional impact.

    Here’s what’s going to happen:

    1. Trump will come right out and say on camera that these are quid pro quo deals
    2. The media will say this will finally be the thing that gets him put in prison
    3. Trump will be acquitted.

      He’s got to be charged with something in order to be acquitted. That won’t even happen.

        And when it doesn’t the media will just say “I guess that’s a non-story after all” and let it go.
