| #7 These morons haven't figured out that if you want to railroad someone, the best way to do it is on a very narrow and obscure legalistic charge. Even in their sinister attempts to ruin people, they're incompetent morons. |

| #6 Extortion is too legalistic and quid pro quo sounds like some sort of calamari dish. You need crimes your constituents are familiar with. Indeed. Just make shit up, and use the simplest, crudest allegations you can think of. Anyone can play. Here we go: Kavanaugh: gang rape. Covington Catholic Schoolboy Nick Sandmann: punk assaulting a poor innocent old minority man. Oberlin's Gibson Family: racist shopowners who profile and harass minority shoppers Trump: treason. And with RUSSKIES!! |

| #2 Buried the lede-- from the bottom of the article: Several Democrats have stopped using the term “quid pro quo,” instead describing “bribery” as a more direct summation of Trump’s alleged conduct. The shift came after the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee conducted focus groups in key House battlegrounds in recent weeks, testing messages related to impeachment. Among the questions put to participants was whether “quid pro quo,” “extortion” or “bribery” was a more compelling description of Trump’s conduct. According to two people familiar with the results, which circulated among Democrats this week, the focus groups found “bribery” to be most damning. The people spoke on the condition of anonymity because the results have not been made public. |
