My guess is PDJT already knows whatever it is Biden’s threatening him over.

But if we pick up Manchin, it's an even swap with perhaps a more reliable Senator.

And if Manchin has to leave for some reason, West Virginia is more likely to vote for a Republican than Maine is.

McConnell won't put on the pressure, though, because Collins is the "senior female Republican Senator," and McConnell would run away from the MSM accusing him of getting rid of the senior woman, no matter how unreliable for the caucus she may be.

What if the paragraph in Bolton's book says: "Trump wanted to condition release of the aid on a promise by Ukraine that it would investigate possible corruption regarding Joe Biden's threat to withhold aid unless the prosecutor was fired. However, after we discussed the matter further, Trump decided that although that is what he wanted, he would not put such a condition on the Ukraine aid."

The NYT could be omitting necessary context that destroys the implication they have put forward.

On a related point, how can Bolton discuss conversations with Trump in his book without violating various privileges that Trump holds, without a waiver by Trump?

Also, why would Bolton submit anything to an NSC that is infiltrated by anti-Trump forces?

You are probably right, but Lindsey need to go to him and be open about it.

"Don't forget that Biden threatened Lindsay on national tv. Lindsay must be up to his eyeballs in some kind of mess."

Hmmmm....Lindsey's behavior is a bit bizarre at times, like how he praises Biden as " a good man"...perhaps he succumbed to the devils temptation at Epstein Island.....

I am now starting to think that Bernie may well become the democrat nominee if this continues. Not sure how he would fare with real democrats or if the party would force feed them Bloomberg or Hilary.

I like this from Ray: (paraphrasing)

Article 1: We don’t like Trump
Article 2: We can’t win the 2020 election

Ray is good but not as good, IMHO, as the earlier presentations today -

He is making good points but not really good “gotcha’a” as Bondi and Herschemann had.

Or course, it doesn’t really matter to the fake news media - they are ignoring ALL the facts presented today....instead going after the “call Bolton” hysteria.

Maybe Dershowitz will wrap it up nicely tonight.

Saying assertions of executive privilege isn’t an impeachable offense.

I’m thinking the defense won’t mention Bolton. Why bring him up and make him relevant?

FOX constantly plays clips of Schumer, Schiff and Romney. I’m so sick of FOX.

Every day Juan Williams claims that the Dem-heavy-sample Fox poll says that removal of Trump is more popular than acquittal. He assumed that none of the Fox people would challenge the Fox poll. But today Dagen MacDowell corrected him on air, saying the poll aggregate shows that conviction is under water.

MacDowell is funny. She said one of Hillary's tweets was like posting a butt selfie.

What if the paragraph in Bolton's book says: "Trump wanted to condition release of the aid on a promise by Ukraine that it would investigate possible corruption regarding Joe Biden's threat to withhold aid unless the prosecutor was fired...

And as I suggested in this scenario, what if what really happened is that President Trump asked Bolton "What would happen if I conditioned the release of aid on a promise by Ukraine to investigate corruption," and Bolton (or his ghost-writer) hyperbolized that (for dramatic effect) in his book by saying that Trump "wanted" to condition release of the aid, but that Bolton talked Trump out of it?
