JustSecurity.org Headline: “The ‘Quid’ is a Crime: No Need to Prove ‘Pro Quo’ in Ukrainegate”
The debate over Trump’s “quid pro quo”
Is missing the point, you should know:
When the “quid” is unlawful
(And Trump’s “quid” is awful),
You DON’T need unfreeze-the-aid “quo.”
I was glad to see that at least some House and Senate Democrats want to take back the economic stimulus package concessions they gave Republicans in return for what turned out to be a grand total of zero votes. After all, as my latest limerick says, “No Quid? No Quo!”
No Quid? No Quo!
By Madeleine Begun Kane
The stimulus bill was jam-packed
With concessions the GOP backed.
Yet the whole GOP
Nixed the bill. Seems to me
That the Dems should those changes redact.
