Schiff talks about "quid pro quo": Problem is that's not in the articles of impeachment

There's a good reason that the Democrats articles of impeachment don't contain the phrase "quid pro quo"; there is no evidence that a quid pro quo every existed.

First both Trump and Ukraine President Zelensky deny that there was one.

Second the transcript of the phone call shows that there was no quid pro quo.

Third not one of the hand picked witnesses produced by lying Adam Schiff ever testified to first hand knowledge of a quid pro quo.

Despite that Schiff mentioned it a lot during his lies to the Senate.  He cited Ambassador Sondland who did say there was a quid pro quo.

But Schiff fails to mention that Sondland not only said that he had no first hand knowledge of a quid pro quo he simply presumed there was one but that when he, Sondland, asked Trump about it Trump emphatically stated that he didn't want a quid pro quo.

In real life in real courts hearsay evidence is never accepted despite the claim of one House Democrat that hearsay evidence is often better than first hand evidence.

Yet now Schiff is blatantly lying to the Senate and saying that Trump should be impeached not because of what's alleged in the articles of impeachment but because of Schiff's dislike of what Trump has done.
