Q: And when you say that, this was the first time I heard that the security assistance—not just the White House meeting—was conditioned on the investigation, when you talk about conditioned, did you mean that if they didn’t do this, the investigations, they weren’t going to get that, the meeting and the military assistance?
A: That was my clear understanding, security assistance money would not come until the President [of Ukraine] committed to pursue the investigation.
Q: So if they don’t do this, they are not going to get that was your understanding?
A: Yes, sir.
Q: Are you aware that quid pro quo literally means this for that?
A: I am.
In the real universe, even the GOP would be calling for trump to resign after something like this. Alas, we are not in that universe.

What's even worse is how many of them, a month ago, were saying that if there was ever evidence of a quid pro quo it would be impeachable.
Now, bygones...
