A pivotal witness who was in the president's inner circle had stepped forward and offered to testify in Trump's trial.

There's a lie right there. Bolton was asked if he would testify and he said he would if compelled to do so. He didn't step forward. He's not champing at the bit to testify. If called to testify, the President would likely invoke executive privilege. But, the Democrats don't actually want him to testify because they are no more sure than we are what he would say. They want it to appear that he is the smoking gun and that the President and his team are suppressing his testimony because it would ice the case for the Dams.

He was never in a bind. The Democrats simply didn’t understand who they were dealing with.

Machiavellian, like secret meetings and partisan party line votes?

LOL!
Don’t remember s4eing this view when Nancy and Schiff ran their Star Chamber.

They need to cut the cameras until the trial starts.

If I could wish one dead person would be alive today, it would be Saul Alinsky. Just for him to see how dangerously close we got to his demented vision for our country. A look at the likes of Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Booker, lundgren, Waters, Obama, etc. The MSM WHORES, the corrupted judges, Soros, education, the Milennials.

And when his grin cannot get any wider and his eyes start to tear with joy...

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

The wailing and gnashing of Alinsky when realizing this ONE MAN stands between the death of our country and the beautiful spacious skies of our freedom.

And when he looks at TRUMP, I hope his last vision is PDJT praying. And thanking God for the GRACE He shed on America.

The authors of this piece are hysterics. Machiavellian would be having the House managers killed. This is just politics as usual - both sides get their say, and a verdict is rendered, based partly along party lines.

[Nateman]

...If the Senate passes McConnell's resolution on Tuesday, each side will be given 24 hours to argue their case over three trial days. During former President Bill Clinton's trial, each side was allowed 24 hours of argument over four days.

Oh how unfair! Unless you realize the Clinton impeachment had 4 counts and not just 2. Amazing how that little bit of information was left out, right?

[rdcbn]

John Bolton did not say he would testify.

He said he was prepared to testify if The White House did not assert executive privilege or if a court order overturned the assertion

Neither will likely happen

Executive Privilege has already been asserted and, while the Supreme Court has determined that executive privilege cannot be used to conceal criminal behavior, every witness in the House impeachment hearings denied any existence of criminal conduct

[SuperLuminal]

My opinion of Bolton is that he is a fire-breather that would promote the bombing of every communist/terrorist in the world as the best diplomacy... A view I agree with...

He may be pissed at the President for being fired-for-reason, but to think he would say anything to support the communists in control of the House is, IMHO, a ludicrous stretch...

It is hard to believe that the demoncrats actually want him to testify... It's the dozens of other wing-nuts that it would open the door for testifying that the communist scum are angling for...

Everything the communists are doing is a delaying action (they have always known there was almost zero chance for a guilty verdict), for as long as possible, and hoping for some event or catastrophe to give them some sort of foothold going into the election...

[TigersEye]

Short version: The author is whining that the House has a lousy case that they didn’t do any due diligence on and McConnell outsmarted Schmuckey Choomer.

Boo hoo!

[Callnote]

I’m convinced yahoo is a part of Babylon , lol

[Maris Crane]

I am so glad Yahoo is treating Mitch just like they treated Adam, who led the sneakiest, slimiest, secretist investigation.

OH, WAIT, YAHOO DID NOT TREAT ADAM LIKE THAT.

EVERYTHING POPEYES DID WAS AOK WITH THEM.

This is really rich....

"Absent national-security concerns regarding classified information, the depositions should be public," he said. "The entire check on the process is that the public has a chance to vote for senators who are up for reelection. But if the Senate is hearing witnesses behind closed doors, the machinery of representative democracy starts to break down."

.....Says the Dean from Cornell Law.

Apparently, only Schifforbrains and his fellow cronies are allowed to hold hearings behind closed doors in this process

[Boomer]

Uh... no. It was the job of the House to prove there was an indictable offense made by the President and they could NOT so now they want the Senate to do their job of prosecuting an innocent man who is doing wrong but great things for America across the board.

I firmly believe every dem who voted to impeach Trump should immediately be removed from office, by force if necessary, when Trump is completely exonerated AGAIN.

These are criminal actions by these traitorous dems and they should be treated as traitors when the time comes.
