No conspiracy theory there, it’s fact, and….a quid pro quo which is illegal.

My memory of that period is that Biden was Vice President, not President, at that time and thus did not have the authority to "allow" aid to continue.
I also recall that the prosecutor in question was a pro-Moscow figure who himself was known to be corrupt and was identified as such by several European intelligence agencies, as well as the U.S. Embassy in Kiev. Firing him was a no brainer for the government of Ukraine.
Trump, of course, was caught in a true quid pro quo, for which he was impeached.
