Did the House allege criminal bribery?
Yes.
@RepJeffries made a mess tonight, but the House Report was clear:

Trump's "conduct here was criminal. In this section we address the federal statute banning bribery; in the next section we address the wire fraud statute." p. 120.
@RepJeffries 2/ p. 121 of House Judiciary Report:
"President Trump’s violation of both statutes [bribery and fraud] is further evidence of the egregious
nature of his abuse of power."
@RepJeffries 3/
p. 122:
The House Report goes through all 4 steps.
Here it concludes steps 1 and 2:
1. Solicitation/Seeking
2. Anything of value...
@RepJeffries 4/
Step 3:
"In return for an official act": Check.
@RepJeffries 5/ And finally, Step 4, "Corruptly."
Four for four.
They explicitly alleged criminal bribery in writing.
There is something very weird going on, and Schiff's clean-up still made no sense.
@RepJeffries 6/ You can read these six pages on felony bribery yourself.
I'd suggest the House team should read their own report, too. Or have better answers tomorrow.
