they will look like they are part of the coverup because they fucking are part of the coverup. Assholes.
Bolton set to interview with any major media outlets? Would be good book PR. Would make it much more difficult for GOP to bury it
Yes, but in the post I was responding to the letter from the lawyers mentioned his NDA, which is different.
They want to finish by the Super Bowl so that Trump can launch his acquittal commercials. It is all really that simple. They don't mind being called unfair. They have been unfair for as long as they have controlled the Senate.
Does it feel like suspect timing that this news leaked AFTER Schiff had the floor for his opening statement?
“We’ve been backed into a corner on calling Bolton to testify about the President’s crimes...that means we get to out a whistleblower!” - Lindsey Graham, at the vanguard of democracy
Hard to imagine there was not some planning involved in all of the leaks, including the Parnas stuff, but all is fair in this sham. That said, I'm not sure who the deals are with as many people have known about the contents of Bolton's book and could have leaked it to the NYT.
Was morning thinking it was leaked after, by whom ever, so Schiff couldn't talk about it. Also, kind of good bc it drowns out Trump's rebuttle and focused on his guilt
There were reports when he resigned/fired that he said he would get his revenge and that he had more to say on what happened. Surprised more has not been made of those reports.
He told the House last month he’d testify if subpoenaed - and the WH wouldn’t block it. That last part is out the window if the Senate calls him now.
I could see that, but can also see the side that says the timing was meant to keep adding doubt to the GOp case while it was being made. Could be both if it was Bolton as he is not looking for the Dem's to win as much as he is looking for Trump to lose.
This would be insane but is it possible that this leak isn’t actually content in the book? And that this is a set up to put Bolton on the floor who will be the piece of shit he is and lie about everything or claim that he has no information?
To me, the timing seems to give the white house one last chance to try to clear the record since today is their last presentation. Maybe bolton thought they'd have done that instead of lie, since they had the book?
I’m willing to sacrifice Hunter and Joe for everything Schiff and his team have requested. Ensure the conviction of Trump or reveal to the American public that all GOP senators are involved in the cover-up. Fuck all of this.
If I thought having Hunter and Biden help I would agree, but considering they are acquitting anyway, I think it best that they don't get the benefit of those talking points and the Democrats still have Trump as a lawbreaker and the party as covering things up and not wanting to know the truth. The truth is coming out anyway, and will only make them all look bad.
If they were actually paying attention and not attacking anyone in the media or anywhere else who asked them questions about his conduct, they would have seen this coming. Instead they buried their heads and followed the company lines and their going to look even more incompetent and soft. Fuck em
The truth is going to take down about 4 senators that were possibly going to lose anyway. I still have no faith in the electorate to do the right thing.
I hope they don't smear my beloved Hunter Biden, who I assume is off getting some married woman pregnant and getting paid 450k a year as a golf course consultant or something.
I've heard the defenses for the 1st article of impeachment as ridiculous as they are. I have not heard anything though regarding the 2nd article. Has Trump, his lawyers or any of the other R's in the House or Senate given any sort of defense to obstruction?
