None of that happened.
What's the term for a leftwinger still crying about getting their ass kicked in the 2016 election?

In order to bribe someone doesn't the person/government have to know that the money is being held up pending compliance? The Ukraine didn't know the aid was on hold at the time of the call. So much for bribery. or extortion, but nice Schiff shuffle.

More than money was involved. It was also a presidential meeting. Zelensky wanted the appearance of the US being in back of him. He was like Trump, a TV actor who got hit by lightning and became president of his country. He wanted to get some big deal done.
Zelensky was going to give Trump whatever he wanted. The missiles were a big point. Z knew they were passed by the house and he needed them badly.
