Is Quid Pro Quo a crime? If so, then virtually all Executive decisions and Legislation passed by Congress is also a crime, because they demand some sort of performance in exchange for a benefit (usually money).

However, demanding a personal (or family) benefit in exchange for performing a public duty is a crime.

Can you tell the difference?
 
We do it to every country we give aid to. That’s the purpose of the aid. We also do it to our own states to make them play ball federally.

Everyone needs to just be patient and pray on it. If you don’t have a relationship with god, now is the time.
 
Aww, Augustine thinks it's funny but is unable to come up with a rebuttal. Poor baby.
 
You mean - doing something in exchange for a favor? Is it similar to bribery? I have a low IQ like Donald Trump! Someone please answer this for me. I'll wait...

a) It can be
b) Yes

If the Mayor of the small town tells the police chief that the police department's budget will be slashed if he doesn't have a press conference to announce that the Mayor's political rival is being investigated for child sex abuse- that is illegal quid pro quo.

Do you need to pray to god to know that asking a foreign government to find dirt on your political rival is wrong?

I pray to god for a number of different things. You should give it a shot sometime. It could change your life.
 
no more foreign aid and call it a day. For any foreign aid, there is a quid pro quo necessary. there is no other means for giving them money. I'm all ears for how it can be handled differently. Hey mr. PM, whoever the fk you are, you want a billion dollars, we need this in return. every mthr fking dollar spent was done in that manner. so, unless you got something else, stop the funding.
 
For the majority of republicans the term "quid pro quo" is just some kind of incomprehensible lawyer talk commies made up to make them feel stupid.

it's what happens in every administration since federal aid has been given to a foreign country. You know this right? We the US will give them money for some favor. for fking ever. Or, are you saying that the dems only give them money for no reason? here's 1.5 billion enjoy!!! is that what you're insinuating?

Every dollar given to a foreign government was a quid pro quo. every single dollar.
 
It doesn't have to be. Depends on the circumstances don't you think?

When you were young, your mom must have thrown you out with the bath water.

so we hand out money for nothing? is that what you're going with? money for a service is a quid pro quo. unless of course you're a fked in the head demofk who doesn't understand anything.

No. It doesn’t. Every country can finance their own needs, and if they can’t and we want to voluntarily step in and help them PRIVATELY then that’s fine. But our tax dollars should never have been used as a geopolitical weapon.

fk, I'd impeach any president who didn't get something from a dollar spent to a foreign fk.

Jesus you guys are too easy.

Because you can't use Foreign aid as leverage to aid you with political rivals, doesn't mean we have to do away with using foreign aid as leverage for things that are good for America and American business interests.

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Not in itself

However, when an elected official uses his office to offer military support in return for personal gain

That is illegal

But in the real world we have use that tactic and many times. We give you aid and you have pro American business policies
