Bribery

2. It was really worse than that. It was extortion.

Ukraine did not want to do it because if the Democrats took power, it could be held against them.

But Trump basically said, you do it or that $400 mil to keep Putin out will disappear and the Ukraine as you know it will disappear with it.

If the President of the Ukraine didn't play ball, Trump was going to end his country. That isn't bribery where the President of the Ukraine was going to get a swimming pool or a bigger bank account out of it. It was extortion that had to be paid or the Ukraine was going to Putin.

That is the President of the United States disgracing his country by acting like a thug - for his own personal benefit. It's much worse than bribery and it put the national security of the United States at risk because Ukraine could have wound up in Russian hands - and still might with this buffoon in the Oval office.
