Quote from POTUS a few minutes ago:

"I am currently at the United Nations representing our Country, but have authorized the release tomorrow of the complete, fully declassified and unredacted transcript of my phone conversation with President Zelensky of Ukraine. You will see it was a very friendly and totally appropriate call. No pressure and, unlike Joe Biden and his son, NO quid pro quo! This is nothing more than a continuation of the Greatest and most Destructive Witch Hunt of all time!"

We already know that the money Congress wanted to give the Ukraine was being held up by POTUS.  Literally the exact situation described by Biden years earlier.
Either both situations are quid pro quo, or neither is.

The next question is one of motives.  Both Trump and Biden may have done what they did with pure motives, but it's highly unlikely Trump did, and only slightly less unlikely that Biden did.

Then the next question is of harm.  A prosecutor was harmed by what Biden did, and perhaps the Ukraine's justice system as a whole.  No Americans were harmed.  But Hunter Biden, an American who by all accounts did not break American laws, could have been harmed by what Trump did.

There you go again...  

Funds beong held up in and of themselves isnt unusual or illicit especially with a new government coming in.  In order to establish a quid pro quo relationship you have to demonstrate the funds were being held soley in connection with this alleged incident.  The decision to hold the funds happened before the call and the decision to release the funds happened after the call without a corresponding investogayion by the ukranians.  

Moreover, joe biden was the point person shifting 1.8 billion dollars in tax payer money to the bank owned by his sons employer for the benefit of the economic sector his son worked in.  Trump shouldnt have to ask for an investigation.  He shpuld have been disqualified from participating in the transaction in anyway let alone extorting the prosecutor to be fired shortly before his son was to be interviewed!!!
