A bank robbery doesn't need to be successful to be illegal. Neither does extortion of a foreign country.Right, because Trump planned that his conversation with Sondland would be public in the near future, that's why he said it.
Yes, Trump did withhold funds, just like the many Presidents before him including Hussein.
You won't find the word "investigation" once in that phone transcript.

Yes, he wanted an announcement. That's an impeachable offense?Yes, Trump did withhold funds,
Yes, he wanted an announcement. That's an impeachable offense?
That's a QPQ, dope.
It is? So what did Trump get in return?
Quid pro quo's are not illegal, nor an impeachable offense even if that's what Trump wanted. Remember the last guy that used a quid pro quo? He's running for the Democrat nomination today.
If that's your definition of extortion, then please riddle me this: Is Joe Biden guilty of extortion, yes or no?
Of course not.
Bribery and extortion require corrupt intent.
No, it doesn't matter what the situation was. The act is either extortion or it's not.
