Everything Is Just Peachy

He said he didn't do "quid pro quo", he just asked for something in exchange for something. It's not a Rorschach test, it's a question of whether you can use Google translate.

Yep, ask smokin' joe about that: he's proud of how handled them ewe-crane folks.

"he just asked for something in exchange for something"

That's the opinion of some folks, yeah. The proof of it, well, that's what the hearings are about, yeah?

Embezzlement is using company funds to pay for a personal product, gain, or favor. Does it really matter that the company, this time, is the government?

He (and his father Fred) have been doing this sort of thing his entire adult life. Only real question: is it flagrant enough (are the crimes broad enough) to justify impeachment?

An author has little relevance. A sentence relevant to the topic is quoted.

The quoted sentence is an example of what can be called embezzlement. And an example of how what The Don has always done.

Please only post rational thoughts.

Embezzlement involves money, anything else is just theft.

He used public money, structures, and staff for private gain. That is embezzlement. And theft. And conspiracy.

Clearly crimes. But it may not be enough for impeachment.
