Nadler Threatens To Subpoena Bolton After Trump Impeachment Acquittal
Fox News ^ | January 4th, 2020 | Ronn Blitzer

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., warned Wednesday that investigations into President Trump's dealings with Ukraine may not end after the Senate's afternoon vote in the impeachment trial, and that he may issue a subpoena for former national security adviser John Bolton.

Bolton, who was said to have referred to dealings between the Trump administration and Ukraine as a "drug deal," received a request from House Democrats to testify during the impeachment inquiry. After the White House instructed him not to cooperate, however, House Democrats opted not to issue a subpoena and said the president's instruction -- based on an assertion of privilege -- was evidence that could be used to justify an obstruction of Congress charge. When asked if it was likely that his committee or others would subpoena Bolton, Nadler said, "Yeah," and indicated that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has given approval.

After President Trump is acquitted, he needs to call together all of the GOP members of the House, Senate (minus Romney, Collins, and Murkowski) as well as Attorney General Barr and IMMEDIATELY start making sure that heads roll for this ATTEMPTED COUP.

Prosecutions against: - Eric Ciaramella for Conspiracy to Overthrow the US GOvernment, Soliciting the Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information (in the pursuit of the charge above), Fraudulently filing a Whistleblower report, and Corruption for criminal dealings/bribery over Burisma since he was in a meeting (along with other Biden staffers) with Burisma executives just before Hunter Biden landed the Burisma job.

- Court Martials for Alexander and Yevegeny Vindman for Unauthorized Disclosure of Classified Information (Alexander for when he passed info to Ciaramella, and Yevgeny for leaking parts of the Bolton book to the media). - Adam Schiff, Nancy Pelosi, and Jarod Nadler for Conspiring to Overthrow the President, Perjury in Senate during Impeachment trial (along with all of the other House Impeachment Managers), and Abuse of Power.

- Multiple persons within DOJ, FBI, FISA Courts, NSC, NSA, and CIA for conducting illegal surveillance on the Trump campaign prior to and in the months after the 2016 election - especially Obama era personnel like Brennan, Clapper, and Comey.

My one gripe with our otherwise OUTSTANDING President Trump is that he has so far been to hesitant in laying down the law and firing and/or prosecuting those whose acts of "resistance" threaten our nation's security, stability, and peace. That has to change - no ands, if's, or but's about it. It's time he puts some heads on pikes or it will be no time at all before we find ourselves in a 2nd bloody Civil War.

Trump will claim executive privilege.

The whole thing will go to court where it may make it to SCOTUS in two years or so.

In the meantime the Dems will wave this as a bloody shirt and scream “OBSTRUCTION!” again. Maybe even use it to do another impeachment.

All the more reason to work hard for a Republican House and Senate with Trump.
The Rs claim they will expunge the impeachment if they take the Housevin 2020

We’ll see about that. Impeachment was less about removing Trump than it was about damaging the GOP’s chances to re-take the House and retain the Senate. The DEMs could take both while losing the presidency, and Trump’s plans, which includes judges, would come to a screeching halt.

If what Bolton had to say was so important, then the Democrats should have called him to testify during the House hearings.

Your list is a good start, too!

Nobody who is a Trump supporter was influenced by this schiff show . In fact, it increased his base of support.

Conversely, many people who did not initially support him can now see what a train wreck this was and will vote Republican this November.

The democrats lost a lot of voters due to this fiasco.

Bolton’s book will hit the stands in the mark down bin. He is pretty much useless to dems now anyway. I’m sure Doug Collins has a few questions for Bolton once he should get him under oath.

I am tired of these obstructionist democrats.

Is there nothing we can do? I am ready to go up to these stinkbug halls of the Pelosi castle with my own pitchfork!

This insanity has to stop, like seriously has to stop way beyond a ballot box.

I think Trump is waiting after he is re-elected.

Then he may be renamed Don The Impaler.

You go, gurl.

Bolton has the fluffy mustache and bends over for bucks so the two of you should get along just fine.

Nadler, it’s over, he’s been acquitted. Double jeopardy ought to apply. You should have done your job better if you thought there was any evidence to support your ludicrous accusations.

Go ahead fat boy.

And the Senate should hold it’s own hearings into the Ukraine corruption and election interference in 2016 and call EVERYONE involved.
