The point he is making is that we hold funds all the time while we working with countries for political decisions. If a certain country isn't upholding to the nations standards, it is common place to hold money while you investigate the issue or work on reform. This was even a thing with Venezuela not long again. If NATO was taking advantage of money, you hold the money while you investigate. The democrats are just upset that he was asking to investigate one of their own and consider that abusing power to have political influence in the elections. The democrats are already guilty of that, look at the celebrities they utilize to try and reach millions. The media companies they utilize to push the same talking points. It's a pretty even field if you ask me and if Trump is looking into how far the DNC is corrupt, he should be able to within the realm of not uttering the words that would violate law. He needs to threaten and then hold. You never got the threat. Quid Pro Quo in law refers to "A contract must involve consideration: that is, the exchange of something of value for something else of value."
There was never a verbal, written or any form of agreement.
