So Chuck Todd and Peggy Noonan last hope is John Bolton

John Bolton will not tell them anything that will make them happy.

Unless it's "Trump told me word for word he was giddy at the thought of the oppo research on Biden he'd soon be receiving" there's really nothing he can help em with.

Maybe John Bolton can identify the section of the Constitution that says anyone other than the POTUS gets to set and direct US foreign policy.

Or the part that says he MUST listen to his NSC advisers, or ambassadors.

Or the part that says he can't have private citizens engage with foreign countries on his behalf.

Or the part that prohibits him from conditioning foreign aid to the performance of certain actions by the proposed recipient.

BECAUSE NONE OF THE OTHER WITNESSES HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION.

Its almost as though Trump believes that he runs the executive branch of the government or something!

Eye witness.

You guys will be calling him.swampy.

I will be extremely disappointed if he does. IN fact if Bolton lays out anything significant against Trump = I will give a LOT of credibility to it.

Bolton has always been on of my favorites - Never seen him say anything that sounded inauthentic to me.

I can respect that he got at odds with the POLICY of Trump in some significant way and resigned/fired as a consequence - but I do NOT believe he will try to make a mountain out of a molehill in EITHER direction.

Policy differences are not impeachable or criminal - make your case and either support the decision-maker or resign = that simple.

Bolton comes forth with his "I'm a supporter of the President, but I must tell the truth."

Senate Republicans love John Bolton.

Do you have inside information or is this your opinion? Seriously not a good look for John Bolton, like him or not, he appears to be a straight shooter.

and then only if he demanded it from Ukraine in the first place

There is not one thing wrong with Ukraine volunteering it.

"Oh no, President Long Name I can't Pronounce, even though you have irrefutable evidence of high level American officials being corrupt to the core I cannot listen to it."

That's bullshite. Somehow the democrats have criminalized (or are trying to criminalize) finding out about anything criminal they did.

That goes back to the bitch's emails. All the concern was about who had them, not the fact that she was selling influence and laundering money through the sham foundation.

The quickest way for the Ukrainian president to gain favor and prove he is fighting corruption like he said he would is to help clean all this shite up.

That's an interesting theory. There is a much simpler and plausible alternative theory that takes into account the House Dems' continued pursuit of the matter even in the face of a flimsy case:

House Dems have sought to confuse voters by piling on witness after witness who merely give personal opinion and interpretation, then Schiff, MSM et al follow it all up each and every available instance with the ominous conclusion, albeit not even close to being proven.

But most voters, unless they're a lawyer, don't grasp the level of non-credibility and unreliability of the Dems evidence thus far in terms of the satisfactory level of proof.

But Schiff, Pelosi et al can conclude their efforts with selling the perception to the public that the evidence is beyond rock solid....which it wont even be watery diarrhea - yuck.

Away it goes to the Senate where they correctly vote it down with ease. Dems then attribute that to mere politics and "Republican allies of Trump let him off the hook even in the face of rocl solid evidence."

And therein lies the goal....voters' uncertainty about Trump's innocence and take that into the voting booth with them.

**But that plan would/will fail, regardless of how complex it is. Voters see through it.
