(1,513 posts)That is, by definition, quid pro quo.
If Trump agrees to this then he has accepted a bribe.

(383 posts)If Clinton had made a similar bargain to cover his legal fees during impeachment he might have been removed from office. That's real cause.

(7,220 posts)After 5 years of being forced to look at a frog-faced can of spam*, I say we all deserve some eye-candy as POTUS in the very near future!
*including 2 years campaigning and, unbelievably, 3 as POTUS

(3,145 posts)Surely someone with his much talked about financial prowess and big time success should have more than enough to cover any legal fees from this.

(10,667 posts)This is so damning for both the NRA and for 45's crime syndicate that I have to wonder how and why these two ever entertained such a notion.

(11,513 posts)I think Trump May be in denial about the seriousness of the impeachment inquiry and is conducting business as usual.

(9,999 posts)He tried to make a deal with Nancy on Gun Control in exchange for forgetting about this latest little inconvenience for him. She shut him down and then handed him his ass. So he found someone who would, as he likes to say, "play ball with him". Oh and, this is illegal, you dimwit.

But I have a little favor I need in return.
That's why you don't do that you fucking dumbass!

(15,805 posts)Quid Pro Quo. Something for something. Trump promising to kill any gun legislation in exchange for a large sum of cash to pay for his legal defence is accepting an outright bribe from the NRA.
