This Bolton thing is red herring. OF course he will testify is subpoened. EVERYONE will IF the subpoena is proper and goes through the courts.
Does that make Schumer a wooly bully?
How likely? Why?It would "likely" be damaging because Bolton knows so much more than everyone else, is a career diplomat and the President is just a no-nothing slack-jawed rube. Doncha know?
It’s way past time to stop this Rat bullshit.

Bingo. Of course it gets spun as a Dem win of some sort. really dumb.
Yes, that is the key question. If the answer is yes, these were good changes for Trump and the Republicans. If no, then its a bad deal—but will allow the Republicans to turn around and claim that it is now the Democrats who are suppressing evidence.
Trump isn’t going to let Bolton testify.
He’s already said so.
The Senate has to try the Articles that passed the House, not theoretical or proposed Articles that didn’t.
“Obstruction of Congress” should obviously be dismissed for want of basis.
Key to what drawing this fiasco on longer than necessary.
Put this thing to bed, yesterday
They should be given a maximum time of 2 hours. How long can we listen to Dem lies?
Thought of that line many times during the last few weeks.
Yes the House should have issued subpoenas to Trump cabinet officials if they had wanted that testimony. That was just stupid of them not to ask questions from the people who were actually in the room when the deals were being cut.
So now Trump gets to present Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and all the Sunday shows will be offering a preview... meanwhile the Dems get a Friday.
Probably a win for Trump.
“The Senate will also automatically admit evidence from the House investigation into Trump last fall.”
What evidence would that be? I’m just sayin’
Agree.
Keep informed and be prepared
Kavanaugh II
Look to see women Trump has never met or talked to.
It also gives Collins, etc., something they can claim as a victory for having “stood up” to McConnell. Perhaps it was even staged for their benefit, so they can run for reelection and claim not to have been just McConnell’s lackeys, something of which they undoubtedly be accused.
Do they really think many people are going to watch this? I am very interested in politics and I will be watching almost NONE. If something pops up that is interesting, I will hear about it.
Those aren’t key changes. They are absolutely minor. The second in particular is likely a good thing.
