What was the timing of that call? Was Quid Quo Pro being talked about in the media before that call? If so - was the call a set-up so that Trump could say he didn't want Quid Quo Pro just for PresZ to do his job.
It just sounds very fishy to me. Quid Quo Pro as a phrase doesn't seem like something that Trump would come up with by himself. It almost sounds like he was told to say it so it could be used as an excuse.
Does anybody know? What was the timing of that call?

(5,269 posts)So the phone call does not exonerate Trump since by then he knew about the whistleblower complaint and Congress launching inquiries, so he was being defensive in denying what he knew were allegations against him.

Tell me he wasnt just looking to have something on the record that would be repeated to get him Off the hook. It sure looked that way.
