That is not a crime; the crime is President Trump’s demand for
something that will benefit him personally. But using this neutral
phrase — which means simply ‘this for that’ — as synonymous with
criminality is confusing to the public. It makes the case more
complicated, more open to question and more difficult to plead.
Please use words that refer only to criminal behavior here. Use ‘bribery’ or ‘extortion’ to describe Mr. Trump’s demand to President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, making it very clear that this is a crime. The more we hear words that carry moral imputations, the more we understand the criminal nature of the act
