Granted - we're looking for motive. Biden is a joke as a candidate but can we establish Trump thought otherwise? That Trump feared Biden? That Trump even cared about 2020 at the time instead of 2016 (2016 being far more likely)? That Trump even cared who the Dem front runner was?
If we can't establish Trump was concerned about Biden then the whole case collapses - the President has every right to ask another leader to look into a matter of corruption before we send more money. ONLY if Trump acted for personal political gain is there a case.
So far, no witness has established Trump's motivation - only one could even give direct evidence and that testimony undermined the quid pro quo argument and didn't even mention Biden that I recall.
It's the kind of case where you need the defendant's attorney to be fresh out of law school and more interested in real estate law than criminal to even have a chance...
