Hey, anybody, when anyone asks YOU for a favor, have you EVER felt they were not expecting to owe you something in return?
That's what a favor fucking IS! We DEFINES favor as something done to earn or discharge a debt.
That's why my boss never asks for a favor when she wants me to do my job. Coworkers do not ask for a favor when they need me to open the safe and give them access to classified. When my wife feels poorly, it's not a favor to drive her to the ER. I vowed something about sickness, or whatever. And no officer ever asked me to do him the favor of saluting.
When they do ask a favor, it's for something that is not my job, my concern, or traditionally mine to provide. Asking for a ride after work, to go to a meeting in their place, to let them give the presentation i wrote, to make a cake for a birthday.
And always there is the underlaying agreement that they will owe me a favor in return.
Asking for a favor directly SAYS there's a quid pro quo.
Is there anyone who has not felt this to be true, atleast up to summer, this year?
if trump was aware of actual wrongdoing, and no one else could follow thru, he would have used different language. 'Something you should know...' or 'your AG should talk to mine, about this Biden thing....'
'I'm sending you ssome files on this Burisma thing you should look into....'
