It appears Bolton's book undercuts Trump's defense

So they very well might vote to block witnesses on Friday afternoon and immediately vote on the 2 impeachment charges on Friday night, almost certainly acquitting the President without ever hearing from a witness or receiving documents.

Wow.

In a just world version of when this is all over, they should all serve time, some of them very serious hard time.

Wow.

GOP offered to get the manuscript. Schumer said no. Why?

What manuscript? Another “manuscript” edited by the chumps and dirtbags in the Trump admin? No thanks.

Instead you trust anonymous sources

The frack are you taking about? I, like 75% of the country wants some damn relevant witnesses interviewed! That’s not anonymous sources.

...Who is anonymous in this entire situation? Besides the whistleblower (who by definition has an identity that is shielded)?

Of course, our opinion doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is the Cult of Trump, which the GOP seems hellbent on upholding.

Eyeroll thinks anonymous sources are making up the contents of Bolton's book. Well eyeroll, there's one way to find out.

Did Bolton or his attorney deny the reports about the contents of his book?

Wow.

Citizens should rise up and protest. Shut D.C. down

PP here. I'm actually planning on taking the day off on Monday and going into DC if they vote to acquit him. I'll join whatever protest is happening.

I'll see you there! Be prepared they may shut down the subway.

It was clear to Senate Republicans on Wednesday after a morning meeting between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) that the question of having additional witnesses is settled, and the Senate will vote Friday to wrap up the impeachment trial of President Trump.

There was no discussion of witnesses at a Senate GOP lunch meeting Wednesday, which was held a couple hours after McConnell and Murkowski met for about 20 to 30 minutes.

That was seen as a sign by several senators that Democrats will fail to convince four Republicans to join them in calling for witnesses. Without a vote to hear from witnesses, the trial could end as soon as Friday.


“We’re going to get it done by Friday, hopefully,” Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said following the meeting.

Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), emerging from the lunch, said, “I think I can say the mood is good.”

Braun expressed confidence that McConnell will be able to keep his conference unified enough to defeat a motion to consider subpoenas for additional witnesses and documents.

“If I had to guess, no witnesses,” he said.

“We’ll be in a place where I think everyone is going to have their mind made up and I believe that we’ll be able to move to a verdict, and the witness question will be clear at that point,” Braun added.


Murkowski did not attend the lunch.

Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah), who has been the most outspoken advocate for calling additional witnesses, declined to comment as he left the lunch.

Romney and Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) are both expected to back witnesses. Murkowski has been seen as a third possible vote, though she had not announced any decision.

Instead of discussing the possibility of having former national security adviser John Bolton appear as a witness in the trial at Wednesday's meeting, lawmakers talked about voting Friday to move quickly to an up-or-down vote on two articles of impeachment.

How do you have a fair trial without calling witnesses when there are witnesses? Didn't Trump complain about not being able to call witnesses? Now he has the chance to do this, but he doesn't. Seems.. odd.

Not odd so much as deliberate
