The Ukraine bombshell revealed in former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s unpublished manuscript has made it more difficult for Republican senators to insist that additional witness testimony is unnecessary.
BWAHAHAHHA…
They are so fucked and they know it.
They either call him as a witness, or give up the senate, the house, and the White House in the next election.
Enough Americans still value basic fairness to ensure that these dumb bastards are voted out.
How will this satisfy the need to question the witness?
Also, it’s hard to believe that Bolton and Trump were the only ones in the room. How will this satisfy the need to talk to those other people, as well?
As long as they make the manuscript take an oath first, and then allow both parties to ask it questions.
So in other words after 2 months of complaining about secret proceedings the Republicans are calling for…secret proceedings.
And if Lankford got his way and Bolton stepped in front of that microphone and implicated Spanky these same repubs would be saying Bolton was lying because he was not under oath. What a bunch of two faced bastards.
Jurors in the murder trial urged the judge not to call the eyewitness to the murder, insisting instead that he stand on the street corner outside the courtroom and tell passersby about what he saw. “We could probably maybe hear him fine through the window, your honor,” the jury foreman said. “But for God’s sake please don’t bring him in here.”
What are they hiding? What the hell are they hiding?? /s
Tom Cotton will want to torture the manuscript.
Looking at you, Joni
So in a classified setting for senators but unclassified for the rest of us, huh?
And, now do Mulvaney.
Oh, FFS.
Just so the “no one with first-hand knowledge who spoke directly to the president has testified” defense continues to be operative.
And, so as not to go against the commands of the most corrupt president in the nation’s history.
Because, we’re so afraid and gutless, and empty of ethics, values, and even a shred of patriotism.
I know it wouldn’t be simple, but why not start a second impeachment inquiry in the House based on the new information and the Senate’s refusal to call witnesses? Sure it would be nutty, but so is not calling witnesses—fight nutty with nutty. Can’t look good for Republican senators to have the president impeached a second time because they wouldn’t do their jobs the first time.
Republicans losing/lost all credibility, running around like chickens with their heads cut off for the Orange menace. Blindsided is the new catch phase for the demise of Republican Senate unity.
Graham showing some of his amazing lawyerin’ skills. A legal revolution! Who needs courtrooms. Juries can just binge watch
They should and it would have monster ratings.
Do it. Doooooo iiiiiitttt.
Tom Cotton made a complete ass of himself on the Sunday shows. Reason: He IS an Ass.
And if they are so fucking stupid and unaware so as to be blindsided by the obvious and expected ‘revelations’ in Bolton’s book manuscript, then they should really be engaged in an occupation at about the temporary assistant manager level or below (no offense to assistant managers intended - you’ve helped me out many times).
