Romney, Collins say Bolton revelations strengthen case for witnesses
NBC ^ | Jan 27 2020 | Allan Smith and Dareh Gregorian

Posted on 01/27/2020 11:01:13 AM PST by rintintin

A pair of moderate Republican senators said Monday that the major revelations from a soon-to-be released book by John Bolton strengthen the case for calling witnesses in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial — and even a top ally of the president said Bolton would be a "relevant" witness. Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, said it's "increasingly likely" there will be enough Republican senators to vote in favor of calling witnesses in the president's ongoing trial.

"I think, with the story (about Bolton's book) that came out yesterday, it's increasingly apparent that it would be important to hear from John Bolton," Romney told reporters. Romney said he hasn't fully made up his mind on calling witnesses, but what Bolton has to say is "relevant" and "therefore I'd like to hear it." "I think it's increasingly likely that other Republicans will join those of us who think we should hear from John Bolton," Romney said. "I've spoken with others who've opined upon this as well."

"I've spoken with others who've opined upon this as well."

Hmmm. To "opine" on something just means to offer an opinion. It doesn't indicate which way the opinion went. Is he well-educated enough to know this? That is, is he trying to give the impression that those "others" agreed with him when some (or all) of them didn't?

BS-er. I know a lot of Utahns who'd love to see him drop into a canyon somewhere and stay there.

Is this why he was wandering around alone on a street in Doha, Qatar recently? Calculating what it was worth to him and book sales if he squawked.. one more parrot for the Left that, in the end, will leave a pile of crap on Pelosi’s shoulders and the faces of all Dems.

Any question why I wanted Mitch to simply poll the Senate to see if they could reject the articles as not meeting the bar?

The longer this goes on, the more it blossoms.

Romney, Collins, anyone else who can’t quite grasp adult matters, name the high crime or misdemeanor Trump has broken.

If you can’t, stand down.

A news reporter said someone told him that someone else leaked an unreleased manuscript of something Bolton might have said.

WE MUST HAVE WITNESSES~!!!!

A majority of Utahans believe that their deity lives on a planet near star Kolob.

Their political acumen may also be affected.

“Romney is always the conniving prick”

I am glad Obama beat him. I voted Third Party that year, proudly so. Romney might still be president today if he had won in 2012. We dodged a bullet.

it’s an odd jury that gets to hear every single thing that goes on in the world including excerpts from an unpublished book without being told by the judge, at least, that they can’t consider it as evidence

“Is this why he was wandering around alone on a street in Doha, Qatar recently? “

I don’t know, but Trump asked for this when he appointed Bolton. I like Trump, but not his personnel decisions.

Would this be an issue if we had “jury sequestration”? These RINOs are allowing unsubstantiated outside comments to influence their decision and aid Democrats by continuing this charade. I would encourage them to stick to the facts, not a script written by Schiff. And, by the way, how do I get a refund for my contributions to Mitt’s presidential campaign? After all, I believe he committed fraud by running as a Republican.

Mittens better pray I never run into him in public, because I'll be the last thing he ever sees. I'll super-glue his eyes shut and stuff...

Romney isn’t up for re-election this year, but Collins is.

And sticking us with four more years of Obama? I despise Romney as much as anyone here, but I would have voted for the Devil over Obama.

The best idea Bolton ever had was to just lop the top 20 stories off the top of the UN HQ building while still occupied. I added the occupied piece. ;-)

The Frolls are out in force today, I cannot believe how may duplicate and related posts on the same thing are here on FR

Smells like desperation for the Never Trumpers and wolves in sheep’s clothing here on FR for them to post so many copies without looking to see if it already has been done

By Your Words (and repeat posting) shall you be known
