Dana Milbank: The quid pro fiasco

Et tu, Mulvaney?

Three weeks ago, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unveiled the impeachment inquiry with a Latin phrase spoken by Julius Caesar when he crossed the Rubicon. "Alea iacta est," she said. The die is cast.

Since then, President Trump has absolved himself by repeating — ad infinitum — some Latin of his own: "There was no quid pro quo." No this for that.

In a sense, Mulvaney is correct when he says "we do that all the time." Trump's tenure has been one big quid pro. He decreed Thursday (before backtracking Saturday) that next year's Group of Seven gathering of world leaders must be at the Doral resort he owns in a clear quid pro cash flow for the Trump Organization. His funneling of government business to Mar-a-Lago has been a quid pro chateau. Having the U.S. military patronize his Scotland property is a quid pro Glasgow, and Vice President Pence's hawking of Trump's Ireland property is a blatant quid pro brogue.

This benefits not only Trump but his sons, in what might be called a quid pro slow (or a quid pro I dunno). Donald Trump Jr.'s protests about Biden family nepotism this week, while ignoring his own, can only be termed a quid pro bozo. - Montana Standard

I would pay to hear this read into congressional record on the House or Senate floor.



Bash republicans over the head with their blatant unpatriotic behavior, ad nauseam.
