In a last-minute move, Democrats are shifting their impeachment rhetoric and talking points just days before the first public hearings into President Trump’s handling of foreign policy in Ukraine.
The televised hearings mark a crucial phase in an investigation conducted thus far behind closed doors, as Democrats seek to swing public opinion — and by extension, that of Republicans — behind the central inference of their impeachment inquiry: that Trump broke the law and should be removed from office.
The article goes on to state the following:
As part of that outreach effort, many well-placed Democrats are dropping the opaque Latin phrase that has dominated the seven-week impeachment investigation — “quid pro quo” — and embracing distinct legal terms like “extortion” and “bribery” that are explicit in their reference to criminality and easier for the public to digest.
House Intel’s Rep. Eric Swalwell: “We have enough evidence from the depositions that we’ve done to warrant bringing this forward, evidence of an extortion scheme.”

Extorting a foreign government for your personal political gain is not the same thing as carrying out the foreign policy of the United States. Just Saying. pic.twitter.com/ZJteIXgFsd

Rep Jim Himes thinks dumbing down the term “quid pro quo” used at the center of impeachment proceedings against Trump will help average folks understand the process better. https://t.co/2mdX6gTx1F
