The House managers said that even if the act was done 99% for the good of the country and 1% out of selfishness then it would be grounds for impeachment.
The reason this is important is that despite all the lies that Schiff, Nadler and the rest of the dishonest House members have been spewing forth the Article of impeachment admits that Trump did nothing illegal. Instead they're saying that Trump should be impeached because his motives weren't completely altruistic.
Despite all their yammering about quid pro quo the actual articles of impeachment don't mention that since in fact no quid pro quo existed. Ukraine got the aid and the meeting with Trump but didn't open any investigations. That's a matter of public record.
But Democrats say that the fact that Trump was tempted to hold up the aid because it would help his 2020 campaign is enough to justify impeachment no matter how good it would be for the country if Trump investigated the blatant corruption of the Biden family.
As many have pointed out this would mean that anything any President ever did would be impeachable.
For example Trump cut our taxes which has resulted in an economic boom which will help him get reelected. Hence there was component of selfishness in Trump driving down unemployment and putting more money in the pockets of hard working Americans.
Which, according to Adam Schiff, means that Trump could be impeached for cutting your taxes.
What's really bizarre is that the whole American system depends on politicians doing what the people want and if they don't the people being able to throw the politicians out of office.
Hence when Democracy is working in the US the politicians are viewing every decision they make through the lens of "is this what the people want because I want to do what the people want so that I get reelected". Which means that according to Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Nancy Pelosi any politician who actually represents the people is a criminal since they're doing things that are in their own self interest, ie helping themselves get reelected.
