Breaking….
Reports are that McConnell has told fellow Republican senators that he does NOT have the votes to bypass having witnesses….
I reported that Trump knows this already…
Almost assuredly John Bolton IS headed for the trial….
The next fight should be over Biden and his son as witnesses…
There should be no reason for Trump’s people to use Hunter Biden as a diversion …
This means a longer trial that could bleed into Democrats Super Tuesday….
It also adds some uncertainty to things …
This IS a plus for Democrats and Republicans up for tough re-election races….
And a minus for Trump and McConnell who thought they could ram this thru the Senate real quick…
This is developing story ….
More to come….
This will bouncing around among Republicans for the next few days…
McConnell and Trump will be working their people to try shut down the trial by the end of the week…
A witness swap would NOT have Biden agreeing to….
Polling supports the public wants witnesses to be called ….
Jack shouldn’t be happy in that media talking heads ARE using the term ‘moderate Republicans ‘…..
Hmmmm?
Based on your posts as to Republicans subservience to Trump?
I would think you might not be “happy”
Uh
Hmmmmm,
If Bolton is called as a witness, Trump might assert executive privilege.
That could tie things up in Court for weeks.
If you don’t call witnesses, then how will history treat you, But if you do call witnesses, then how do you then ignore what the witnesses say and acquit?
As John Thune essentially said, we kind of know what the witnesses will likely say, so do they really add anything to the conversation?
The witnesses will reinforce the ILLEGALITY of what Trump has done and will most likely continue to try to do derail Joe Biden’s campaign….
The same thing worked on Hillary with the emails…
Trump’s method of operation isn’t a secret….
Agreed Jack….
And if Trump does claim executive privilege and there is a court fight?
He’s screwing HIMSELF because the trial will be extended, something Trump does NOT want to keep suffering thru…
In a way?
This about the bad karma Donald J. Trump has brought on HIMSELF….
There you go again, James, blaming the poor victim (a.k.a. The Most-Persecuted Man in American History). :—$
What did he do wrong? That was a perfect phone call !!
Yea….
Just do what I say to help ME fuck Joe Biden and ya get the money!
BTW?
Holding up the money helps my main man Valimir….
