    The word I’d use is “shakedown.” It is really puzzling to me why this term isn’t used to describe what Trump did.https://twitter.com/rjblaskiewicz/status/1196835673690529795 …

        9/ Trump's Ukraine shakedown agents: VOLKER—the official looking at how Ukraine could achieve its main aim (ending war with Russia). SONDLAND—the official looking at whether the US would aid Ukraine's second-greatest aim (EU admission). GIULIANI—his 2016 election-theft fixer.

        Extortion seems most descriptive. IMO

        That’s basically what a shakedown is: Do this, or something bad will happen to you. “Nice military aid there. It’d be a shame if something happened to it belle it got to you.”

        I expect it is because the constitution mentions bribery as an impeachable offense, and is strangely silent on shakedowns.

        Yes, but there’s no reason they can’t use both terms. It’s very easy for the average person to understand that what Trump did was your basic shakedown, less easy to see the bribery.
