SHARYL ATTKISSON <\/strong>— October 24, 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following is an excerpt from my latest column in The Hill.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quid pro no.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The current impeachment debate is being framed in terms of whether or not there was a \u201cquid pro quo\u201d\u2014 as if that is the bar that will determine whether or not President Trump did something egregious.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are big flaws with this framing, as well as with the use of the term.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diplomatic quid pro quo \u2014 requiring certain actions, behavior or \u201cconditions,\u201d in return for U.S. aid \u2014 is <\/em>common<\/em><\/a>, according to current and former diplomats I spoke with, and foreign policy guidance. \u201cUnder the <\/em>Foreign Assistance Act of 1961<\/em><\/a>, the President may determine the terms and conditions under which most forms of assistance are provided.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
