Yes, this is more like it. Trump team finally unleashing some krakens. I hope PDJT is sitting back in his recliner, sipping soda and laughing his socks off.

We need an angry 100k patriot protest outside each and every major MSM HQ.

Jeepers! Listening to Martha on Fox is so irritating, she’s just not quick on her feet and has difficulty interviewing her guests....too worried about following her script. She still has a long way to go before she’s a stellar pundit.

Hmmmm...in case of a tie, does the Vice President get a vote during an impeachment trial?

I think it’ll be 50-50. Motion will fail and Senate would then take up the articles of impeachment.

They’ll both go down 53-47 and then the court of impeachment will adjourn sine die.

Everything we’re hearing about Bolton is to sell his book. If there wasn’t a hype it wouldn’t sell..he’s just not that interesting.

Dems need to flip 4 GOP votes. So GOP can only lose 1 more. It’s going to be tight.

Dems will get about 6-7 votes from the rinos, if not a couple more.

Robert Ray is doing a great job and he's speaking for all of us now that voted for President Trump, and confirms he voted for him as well. They are trying to overturn the results of the 2016 election and steal the 2020 election!— Shem Horne (@Shem_Infinite) January 28, 2020

“Would Bolton lie for $15 million? Maybe.......”

Is Bolton feeling butt-hurt by Trump?

No - the Chief Justice has no vote and if there’s a tie, motion is considered defeated.

I agree its going to be tight.

How many times can the evil ones impeach a president? Is there a limit to this? I envision them hiring people to go thru every shred of paper to see if something is illegal in their eyes.

I think Bolton said something last night when this all was “leaked.” . It wasn’t a formal statement but he said that he had never said anything about Trump’s phone call with the Ukrainians but simply that Trump told him that he would have preferred that the Ukrainians begin the investigation before he released the money, They didn’t but he released it anyway.

A lot of this distortion comes from the NYT and subsequent media sources.

That said, the “leak” obviously had to come from the NSC, where Vindemann’s brother is employed. So how is this not both criminal and treasonous?

“C-SPAN2 is covering the Senate uninterrupted.”

It’s the only way to avoid newscasters talking over the presenters.

There is probably immense pressure on Manchin and Jones to vote with the Democrats to deny President Trump the talking point that it was a bipartisan vote to acquit him.

They will not call Bolton unless he is deposed and has an answer the democrats want.

But mostly, I don’t sweat the small stuff

Good point. During an impeachment, the Chief Justice presides, not the Vice President, and does not have a vote.
