Could stop Donald Trump from keeping his job?
Most likely not...
BUT?
The guy former Donald Trump national Security advisor that got fired was there on the inside thru the Ukraine money holdup caper by Donald Trump….
While Trump and others HAVE managed to try to cover up things?
Several lower level people have sung about it to the House impeachment investigation…
John Bolton would be the first high-level Presidential assistance to ‘tell all’ against the wishes of Trump and his handlers…
The media reports point to worries among Republican lawmakers due to Bolton’s books leaks…
Trump’s defense is NOT based on HIS actions…
It is against the Democrats in the House and has come under intense ridicule by almost every legal expert except Dershowitz, who has also been ridiculed for his point of view also…
While Senate Majority Leader McConnell has his parties senator in line?
There have been mumblings about having Bolton come in from the cold and testify….
If he does?
Others would have to be called , something the defendant Donald Trump does NOT want to happen…
John Bolton is currently a media bonanza and probably a BIG assed headache for Trump and McConnell…
Bolton’s Surprise Scrambles GOP Strategy
Before last night’s report on John Bolton’s forthcoming book, Republican leaders were confident that they would defeat the vote on subpoenaing witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trail this week, CNN reports.
But now, it is less certain, according to three GOP sources.
GOP Senators ‘Feel Blindsided’ by Bolton Allegations
Some Republican senators are privately pushing the White House for information on who in the Trump administration had visibility into John Bolton’s book manuscript over the last month, the New York Timesreports.
The senators “feel blindsided.”
The Nightmare Scenario for Senate Republicans
Aaron Blake: “The nightmare scenario for the GOP is that they give Trump the quick and witness-free acquittal that he apparently desires, but then information like Bolton’s keeps coming out. Bolton now suggests Trump was indeed telling people privately that the withheld military aid was part of a quid pro quo — a quid pro quo which European Union Ambassador Gordon Sondland testified that he communicated to the Ukrainians. This is something Trump’s team has strenuously denied, including at the impeachment trial. What if Bolton isn’t the only person Trump told this to who might suddenly contradict them?”
“However closely this has already been tied to Trump, it can always be tied more closely. Bolton’s upcoming book is a great example of how the hastily assembled walls the Trump team have built around its defense can quickly crumble — and in some cases already have.”
Romney Says It’s ‘Likely’ Bolton Will Be Called
Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) to the Washington Post: “I think it’s increasingly likely that other Republicans will join those of us who think we should hear from John Bolton.”
Trump Falsely Claims House Didn’t Seek Bolton Testimony
President Trump falsely claimed that House Democrats never sought testimony from former National Security Adviser John Bolton during their impeachment probe.
Said Trump: “The Democrat controlled House never even asked John Bolton to testify. It is up to them, not up to the Senate!”
The House Intelligence Committee did ask Bolton to testify, but he declined to testify on instructions from the White House.

Is jack still demanding this end as soon as possible?
We’ll see today if the ‘Bolton Effect’ has legs….
Yes
The HHR comment section is in a full and complete panic. I cannot even bring myself to jump into the fray there.
The fear is palpable and the lengths they are willing to go to excuse anything away for Donald Trump is nothing less than a tragedy.
Seriously….
Trump HAS to be working the phones….
We’ll see….
I KNOW Jack said this is bull shit…
But right now?
Ouch😳‼️….

Toomey floats a one for one witness deal….
