QMany 5,477 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 That should be ballgame, folks. If Senate Republicans don't call Bolton, they are accomplices in the cover-up. If they do call him, he (further) establishes the corrupt quid pro quo. They are between a rock and a hard place with growing pressure and public support of a real, fair trial with relevant witnesses. 4 Link to post
knapplc 39,720 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Seeing some people guessing that Bolton has resisted testifying so it helped out his book's presale numbers. What a peach. Link to post

The problem is, the Republicans I know, don't find that a problem because they firmly believe that Joe and Hunter Biden were involved in some horrible corrupt scheme so, Trump wanting them, specifically, to be investigated is just another example of Trump fighting corruption and draining the swamp. When I ask, "OK...why didn't he have his own intelligence agencies investigate it?", they come back with, "Yeah right...they are all part of the deep state." It's amazing what he has done to destroy faith in our own government. BUT....God forbid....if a black person dare protest law enforcement officials corruption by simply kneeling during the national anthem. 5 Link to post

The logic is just going to go in circles, It's a he says (Bolton) he says (Trump) with Trump saying there's a transcript that supports his side, but, to my knowledge, no full transcript having been released yet, so we go back to he says he says.

The "transcript" is only one small piece of this. It doesn't exist in a vacuum as much as Trump and Republicans want it to. Eventually they will have to face this reality but it may not happen during this impeachment 1 Link to post

Not if you are a Trump supporter in the alt-universe. There they try to hide evidence. But to the rest of us, Yea this is a big big story and the Senate better call Bolton to testify.

knapplc 39,720 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 So... when they work for trump they're Republicans. When they're called before the Senate, they're "Democratic witnesses." Link to post
TGHusker 5,558 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Funny - Knapp we were on the same page on that - as you were posting your post above, I posted the pic of Lindsey the weasel. Link to post
knapplc 39,720 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 Can we talk about how everything Ken Starr says in defense of trump is a wholesale lie? Bemoans that impeachment is a weapon used against a political opponent. Says, "the Senate would do well to return to our country’s tradition when Presidential impeachment was a measure of last resort." Be sure to commit crimes in or near an election year, kids! 1 1 Link to post

When I heard him say that, I thought instantly that Democrats need to constantly play Trump's quote on "I'm President, I can do whatever I want". Link to post
BigRedBuster 23,926 Posted January 27, 2020 Report Share Posted January 27, 2020 He actually said something like "Impeachment too frequently is being used punish political opponents". (not an exact quote) Well.....dude.....There have only been 4 and you were the one who led the last one. 1 Link to post
