The issue, again correct me if I'm wrong, is the assertion that Trump asked for assistance in investigating a rival with the intent of hurting them politically. Putting conditions on receiving our aid is rather normal. The idea that quid pro quo is inherently unethical or a "high crime and misdemeanor" is simply not true.
you are correct.
It's why I don't like that the Democrats leaned on the term Quid Pro Quo for so long.
They really should have emphasized that the impeachment was not because Trump did a QPQ. It was that he did a QPQ that was not in the interest of the American people but rather him and his political campaign in 2020.
The second they did not emphasize that and the Right pointed out that Biden used a (legal) QPQ to get the prosecutor fired was the point at which the Impeachment was destined to fail.
