It’s No Accident That Democrats Keep Accusing Trump Of ‘Bribery’

“Bribery” is the new “quid pro quo,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) made clear during her weekly press conference Thursday.

“The bribe is to grant or withhold military assistance in return for a public statement of a fake investigation into the elections. That’s bribery,” she said, noting that the term is “in the Constitution attached to impeachment proceedings.”

Pelosi is carrying out a new tactic also seen in the phrasing of House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) and committee member Jackie Spier (D-CA) this week.

Their word choice is no coincidence.

Article II of the Constitution reads: “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.”

Pelosi: Trump bribed Ukraine, makes Nixon's offenses 'look almost small'
By Mike Lillis - 11/14/19 11:48 AM EST

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) on Thursday accused President Trump of "bribery" in his dealings with Ukrainian leaders, linking the president's actions to the Constitution's impeachment clause even while emphasizing that Democrats remain undecided on whether they'll draft impeachment articles.

"That is in the Constitution, attached to the impeachment proceedings," Pelosi told reporters in the Capitol.


She then explained the basis for the charge, which stems from a whistleblower's complaint that has since been supported by numerous government officials, that Trump leveraged U.S. military aid to Kyiv to secure political favors from Ukrainian leaders.

Comical isn't it that a President rich enough not to need money is accused of bribery.

He inherited or earned his wealth, whereas the vast majority within Congress get wealthy by stealing it either on the job with kickbacks etc. or afterwards.

A reporter asks Speaker Pelosi why the legal rights of the whistleblower should prevail over President Trump's right to confront his accuser.

Pelosi calls the reporter "Mr. Republican talking points" and adds that the whistleblower is there to "speak truth to power."
