I've always found it interesting that we have such strong difference of opinion..and yet our views seem to be the same..just out of different portal?
example...Joss could make Firefly on the backside of his perspective of a Bush presidency, I could watch if while under the Obama presidency and we both see the same picture of a biased, lying, racist, unethical, unconstitutional, cheating, wealth grabbing , etc, etc.

I haven't been following this story because I thought the facts have already been established with the transcript and corroborated by Zelinskiy but ...
"Quid pro quo" means ... literally... "this for that". Some kind of deal is struck where parties exchange something. In order for a deal to be struck, there has to be mutual understanding of what the "this" is versus the "that".
According to Zelinskiy, he didn't know that there was any funding delay, therefore it would have been impossible to pressure him into any specific action, therefore no "quid pro quo" could have been established. If you have any specific contrary information let me know.
It's kind of like the whole concept of "collusion" ... there has to be some sort of ongoing communication to establish joint responses in the face of changing circumstances.
It's not like these people can communicate by telepathy.

According to Zelinskiy according to Zelinskiy, that's funny. Surly Zelinskiy saying Trump was extorting him would endear him to Trump. Surly this would insure Trumps continued support. What a moron comrade sig is.
Anybody with any understanding of how the world works would recognize that the better play is to keep Trumps secret. To hold it as an ace card over Trumps head. It's leverage against any hesitation on Trumps part to provide arms in the future. Wanna bet Zelinskiy got his anti-tank rockets?
I say, enough Russian trolling in these threads. Go home because it seems the Russians can't ever tell the truth.

The word you're looking for THUGR is "surely" ... to act with assurances, to be sure.
The word you used was "surly" ...

Altho it's just a typo, you managed to hit on a word that means something and I don't think that's what you meant.
I read the transcript, did you? Zelenskiy starts out by saying he's looking forward to purchasing the Javelin. If he thought there was a hangup in funding, how could he be looking forward to something he wasn't sure he would get?
I dunno ... this whole "impeachment" thing seems just as cockeyed as the RUSSIA!RUSSIA!RUSSIA! hoax.

Talking to Fox News’s Chris Wallace, Mulvaney insisted, absurdly, that he did not, in fact, confirm there was a quid pro quo with Ukraine. Wallace did not buy the make-believe story Mulvaney was selling. Unsurprisingly, within hours of his briefing concluding, Mulvaney released a statement denying he said what he said. That unconvincing damage control operation continues.

Enough of your Russian trolling. Look at the photo dipshit. It says it all. Zwlenskiy knows he's sitting next to a crazy person and he needs to be very very careful. After all, Trump and his cronies have been extorting him for quite a while now.

TRUMP and his cronies??? Like ... Ivanka got a job with Energoatom (Kiev's nuclear power plant operator) for $50,000/ month and Trump got a $500,000 "speakers fee"? You mean ... something fact-free, like that?
Don't you mean Biden, his son, and a gaggle of DNC cronies and operatives have been extorting Ukraine for a long time?
