• Quid Pro Quo

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to ALAN IANSON on Monday, June 19, 2023 09:41:00
    Yes he was. That was what they wanted. That was a success.

    Quid pro quo, which is considred wrong if others try it.

    Quid pro quo is not always a bad thing, unless you are doing something
    llegal

    Which they were.

    The Government of the USA wanted that prosecutor fired, and he was fired.

    That administration got him fired by threatening to withhold money which,
    he
    others do it, is considered wrong.

    Why is it the "Government of the USA's" business who is a prosecutor in another country?

    I don't remember now. It was long ago. It wasn't just the USA that wanted the osecutor fired.

    The correct answer is that they don't, yet Biden has admitted (in order to impress upon people that he had power as VP) to threatening to withhold promised funds until the deed was done.

    This is not something he should have done and he should be held to account.

    It is what the US government wanted.

    That does not make it right.

    The correct answer is that the gov't of USA (others also) wanted it to happen the way it did. It was a success.

    This is not something he should have done and he should be held to account.

    It is what the US government wanted.

    That does not make it right.

    The president and his vice president work toward the goals of the US gov't, no?

    Hello Alan,

    [..]

    The president and his vice president work toward the goals of the US gov't,
    no?

    The duties of the president are clearly specified in the US
    Constitution. I'll let you and others read them at your peril.

    The duties of the vice president are also clearly specified in
    the US Constitution. Since there are none, I'll simply leave it
    at that.

    BTW, we all know Vice President refused to do his duty by
    defying Trump's order to defy the certification of electors
    on January 6 ...

    For Life,
    Lee
