Watching #facethenation and @RepSwalwell referred to extortion in the #Ukraine scandal. I may not be a trained lawyer, but how is it extortion to withhold your own money?

it's taxpayers money that Trump was using to extort personal campaign favor. From a lawyer:https://twitter.com/tribelaw/status/1192801869942398976 …

Laurence TribeVerified account @tribelawBribery & Extortion are 2 sides of the same impeachable coin. Trump was: (1) EXTORTING Ukraine: “No defense aid unless you smear Biden & clear Putin re 2016” AND (2) soliciting a BRIBE from Ukraine: “If you help me win 2020, I’ll help you defend your country against Russia.”1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Doesn’t extortion require the “victim” lose something valuable they already possess, Representative Swalwell?

Rep. Swalwell, doesn’t the USA have a treaty with Ukraine to cooperate on investigating crimes, such as political corruption?

Michael McFaulVerified account @McFaulIf Trump , per Pompeo's claim, was really interested in fighting corruption in Ukraine or U.S.-Ukraine relations, he would have enlisted the DOJ & FBI to act & have used our MLAT treaty with Ukraine to do so. If there any evidence that these channels were used? I've seen none.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

Sometimes leaders discussing an issue beforehand will break any logjams created by bureaucrats.
