Just to get this straight?
We KNOW Donald Trump tries to extort the Ukrainian’s with the money their where supported to get…
Even Trump’s lawyers are NOT contesting the fact…
Because Trump owns the jury?
All this noise about Bolton testifying is just THAT….
Noise…
It won’t make a difference…
Boltons revelations include Sec of State Pompeo , Rudy Giuliani and Attorney General Barr among others in what Bolton seems to be indicating IS a ‘cover-up’ by the highest level officials of the current American government . The people involved have been ordered by Donald Trump NOT to tell their stories, which ARE known, to Congress or the public…
The jury’s Republicans are AFRAID of the defendant and his supporters…
Trump OWNS the jury…
All THIS will have consequences down the road…
But for the trial itself?
NOPE…
Impeached…
Donald Trump will NOT be convicted unless the sky falls…
President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton.
The president’s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense: that the holdup in aid was separate from Mr. Trump’s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office.
Mr. Bolton’s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, the third in American history, was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates. He also sent a draft to the White House for a standard review process for some current and former administration officials who write books.
Multiple people described Mr. Bolton’s account of the Ukraine affair.
The book presents an outline of what Mr. Bolton might testify to if he is called as a witness in the Senate impeachment trial, the people said. The White House could use the pre-publication review process, which has no set time frame, to delay or even kill the book’s publication or omit key passages.
Over dozens of pages, Mr. Bolton described how the Ukraine affair unfolded over several months until he departed the White House in September. He described not only the president’s private disparagement of Ukraine but also new details about senior cabinet officials who have publicly tried to sidestep involvement.
For example, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged privately that there was no basis to claims by the president’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani that the ambassador to Ukraine was corrupt and believed Mr. Giuliani may have been acting on behalf of other clients, Mr. Bolton wrote….
