Biden and I quote: What you know, son of a bitch, the prosecutor was fired.
Look up the video as Biden explains this on a campaign stop.
Yes, Biden and the Obama Administration participated in a quid pro quo.

Biden was acting on behalf of the official policy of the united states government at the time.
This is not about threatening to cut off a country's aid. There is nothing wrong with that. Its done all the time. I would hope that Trump regularly uses his power as POTUS to exert pressure on other world leaders to support America's interests.
The difference here is that, in this case, if the allegations are true, Trump would not have been acting on behalf of the United states official policy towards Ukraine. He would have been using his power for PERSONAL political gain.
This is the difference. Whether you agree with it or not, do you understand that part?
