so i think that speaker pelosi quite rightly realizes there s a messaging issue here and it needs to be explained in straightforward terms without any latin involved so that people can understand the alleged wrong doing on the part of the president. the only other thing i would say is i think she s probably mistaken in referring to this as bribery if, in fact, it occurred as they are presenting. it was probably extortion. hey, i have something you need. i m not giving it to you unless you give me something that i need. not by the way for my country, but for my personal plal objective. that s more extortion than it is bribery. but to your point, extortion doesn t appear in the text of the constitution. bribery does. i doubt, though, we re going to hear the it was only extortion defense from the white house on this. because extortion could easily fit into high crime and
