It is time to shift from "no quid pro quo!" to "OK, there was a clear quid pro quo, but so what. Get over it! Not worth impeaching!"
You can do it. I know you can, and will.

point out where the evidence of quid pro quo is from his statement. Doubt you even read it (you seldom read what you linked anyway). The only evidence is the conversation content he provided between Pence and Ukraine president, which is consistent with Trump admin stand on Ukraine aid holdout: 1 European need doing more 2 Ukraine need cleaning up more corruption. Everything else is just his own opinions, i.e. his suspicion that there is a quid pro quo, which he admitted other officials already explained it to him this is not quid pro quo. So, forget that call, forget anonymous whistleblower, let's just grab one diplomate's opinion as evidence for your narrative.

which is well within the mandate of the signed treaty.....and you know this. You breathlessly pretend that this is illegal. if only your understanding was better.
But this is all politics, and you said yourself yesterday that the outcome is already 100% assured before this testimony. Just have your vote (if you think you have the votes), and if you do, we will see the POTUS get a chance to defend himself in the senate and be acquited.

is a clear Orange quid pro quo. I’ll wait and see what develops there but it could be serious.
I suspect the whistle blower is a consortium of career servants, perhaps not one person.
Trump and his loyalists will spin it as a media/DNC/Deep State witch hunt and sell that to their rube shallow minded base.
But, the facts speak for themselves.
Our Government is full of Bill Taylor's -- good Americans who honorably carry out their oaths on daily basis.
Pompeo’s, Mulvaney’s, McConnell’s, and Graham’s of the world who put career and power first. They know how wrong this is but go along with it anyway.
Sadly, we see fellow posters (right here at uhnd) who have likewise lost their horizon.
Such posters, such Americans, are accomplices in every sense of the word.

Will there ever be a tipping point with this guy?
How can people just keep selling their soul for power, and pretending all is well?
Sad.
