The Impeachment of President Donald J Trump

[The Brain]

Does any of this matter? It has already been established that the POTUS can do what the fuck he wants and no one will give a shit until maybe years later when it's too late. It has already been established that the GOP takes its orders from the Kremlin. It has already been established that the US is a fucking joke.

Ok but there are still some hearsay objections to be resolved.  Priorities, man.

Fair enough.

Its a good point.  And especially since there will be no evidence.  It is all just argument, opinion and political judgments.

There is an enormous amount of evidence. The House filed their trial record yesterday. 

I thought I read a couple of days ago that the Senate was not going to allow the filing of the evidence that was obtained during the impeachment inquiry.

The resolution was changed - the House impeachment record will be presumptively admitted subject to the right of defense to raise evidentiary objections to exclude.

During the impeachment Republicans kept demanding the whistle blower to testify.  I haven't heard anything from the Senate indicating they want the whistle blower to testify.

What I don't get is if Bolton is willing to testify, why he doesn't just tell his story on air.

Maybe there are national security laws that say people can't discuss classified matters with the media, but can if subpoenaed by Congress?

The man has a sense of drama and decor. Just look at his mustache.

That and he wants a big pay day on a book deal.

Romney says we should hear from Bolton.

Roose? Ramsay? Michael?

It might impact book sales?

That was certainly the vibe I got from the denial about the NYT story being coordinated:

"Ambassador John Bolton, Simon & Schuster, and Javelin Literary categorically state that there was absolutely no coordination with the New York Times or anyone else regarding the appearance of information about his book, THE ROOM WHERE IT HAPPENED, at online booksellers. Any assertion to the contrary is unfounded speculation."

Walrus.

Note to self: never tell Shelf you're writing a book.
