I never liked the no quid pro quo defense. Every agreement has quid pro quo. In fact, it is a legal requirement for a valid contract. It is called CONSIDERATION. In a treaty, it's all about the quid pro quo.
It's only bad if it involves someone elses (usually taxpayer's) quid for personal quo which makes it BRIBERY. Biden guilty. Trump not guilty.
