How could we answer this question? Hmmmm?

Ask Bolton? Nah, that’s crazy talk.

Well the NYT claims to know but for some unknown reason have declined to include it in their reporting.

That doesn’t make you skeptical?

If the names of those other individuals changes the context of Trump’s purported statement, then it sink its purported value to the House managers.

In my opinion, Trump didn’t do anything wrong. Call these “witnesses” :eyeroll: and put these Dims in there place.

I really do believe if Bolton testifies it’s going to be like Pantangelli in The Godfather (minus the coercion). Bolton has his book deal and financial security. He will show up to Congress and drop a turd in the Democrats lap.

Tough shite. Dems delivered their case to the Senate. They are owed nothing.

And even if Bolton testified to this, Trump still gets acquitted, because no matter how hard your buddies beat this dead horse, presidential candidates are not immune from investigation. If they were, Obama would be fricked.

Hank, we could ask Bolton anything and everything, and should that not bear the fruit Dems are seeking.....no doubt in my mind they will simply move on to a new "Bolton". Sure, we could say cross that bridge when we get to it, but at wherever the line is finally drawn, be it with Bolton or the next one or the next one, there the Dems will be, crying obstruction and cover up.

Read the story, the Times is quoting sources at NBC that are saying that they heard what was in an unpublished manuscript


That NBC won't verify?

It bears repeating (for the fiftieth time)

The Democrats are not going to let the President's lawyers have any media time. They have planned these "bombshells" weeks ago to be released when the President makes his case.

The only question is, are the Romney Republicans in on it?

Can McConnell get 51 REPUBLICANS to end this shite?

When Bolton signed his book deal for an announced $2 million I knew right away he was going to undermine Trump.

No one is giving John Bolton $2 million to talk about how great Trump is.

Every single thing that happens from the Dems side is orchestrated.

You’re right. The Swamp preservation crew has been working overtime lately, Bolton obviously was tapped to do his part. Lol!

Such a sad state of affairs. The democrats are destroying our democracy at an alarming rate.

Democrats are radical fascists and will lie, steal and cheat to maintain and gain power.

I feel for the next presidents, R or D, because congress will take Pelosi’s playbook and wage war...and it will happen over and over unless the Republicans end it now.

Interesting! This is from the foxnews article

Additionally, Bolton's representatives made clear he was not denying the Times' claim concerning the Ukraine aid holdup and the possible investigation of the Bidens.

I’m writing a book about Nancy Pelosi trying to sell child slaves to Schumer for a case of vodka and some crank. Everything in the book is real. It’s a tell all.

Uncanny timing. This gives Romney a reason to call for more witnesses with the other assholes joining him. It also fits right in with Burr, who said the trial would last 6-8 weeks months ago,. (Burr NC-retiring & Warner are covered up by Wray --so far-- as being a part of the original dossier)

This is sadly playing out just like I suspected...

quote:

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump told former national security adviser John Bolton that nearly $400 million in frozen security aid to Ukraine would not be released until that nation offered assistance with probes into Democratic targets, including the Bidens, Bolton alleges in an unpublished book whose contents were reported Sunday night.
quote:

Hill Democrats on Sunday said the new report highlighted the urgency of a Senate request for Bolton's testimony — a move which would require several GOP votes.
Urgent, they say it's urgent, emergency it's urgent... Romney & at least 3 other GOPe cucks man your battle stations this is not a drill find your nearest reporter to call for witnesses as if it is a brand new idea... (As if it wasn't planned for awhile)

quote:

"John Bolton has the evidence," tweeted Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. "It's up to four Senate Republicans to ensure that John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, and the others with direct knowledge of President Trump’s actions testify in the Senate trial."
Right on cue.

quote:

In the unpublished book, Bolton reportedly alleges that other administration officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Attorney General William Barr and acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney, were made aware of Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani's unusual involvement in a shadow foreign policy in Ukraine well before it became a central element of the whistleblower complaint at the heart of the impeachment inquiry.
And now we begin them going after not just Trump, but Pence & AG Barr. It will be worse than what they did to KavBaw. It will make Muh Russia look like a walk in the park.

It will come out when it is far too late that Bolton maybe didn't say it quite this way in his book, we will be into month 2 of the impeachment trial by then.

They won't stop, ever. They think holding Trump up in trial with waiting for courts replies and bashing Pence and Barr will make their crimes all go away, and gain them some seats too boot. If some freak thing happens and Pence is called for to resign because of his involvement-- they could have President Pelosi.

At the very least they gain some seats because of pissed off people with the GOPe; just as Gowdy already somehow already knew.
