John Bolton Agrees To Testify At Trump Trial, Defying WH

Color me skeptical: now that Donnie's given Johnny the strike against Iran he's been jonesing for since forever, I have my doubts than Bolton is gonna say anything really negative about the Pumpkin.

1. I think he only agreed to testify AFTER

Moscow Mitch got the needed 50 votes to run the trial the way Putin and Trump want it run

4. Great Point

And now I'm even MORE skeptical of Bolton!

2. Bolton's gonna fuck us.

I would have bet ALL My monies on it yesterday, because it looked like we were going to war with Iran and that's what he wants.

Today, maybe 50/50 fuck us, or fuck the white house, because war hasn't broken out with Iran yet.
It's what he wants. It's all he wants. The man wants war with Iran, and any residual loyalty to trump from Bolton will be contingent on how hard Trump fucks Iran.

5. definitely

3. he'll probably try to exonerate trump et al

6. I don't think he'll testify at the Senate "trial."

As a matter of fact, I don't think anyone is going to testify, nor will a single document be presented. It will be a sham trial with a foregone conclusion, and then Trump will shout, "I've been exonerated! It was a hoax by Pelosi, Schiff and Obama (it's always President Obama's fault)!"

Susan Collins will wring her hands, and rest of the Senate Repugs will hold their noses and vote as Moscow Mitch tells them to.

What are the high school civics students going to be taught? "You can get away with anything if you're president."

9. Free from constraints like the rule of law and the U.S. Constitution

Trump can do what he said he would do - try Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler for treason. That will shake up the election just like assassinating an Iranian general shook up impeachment. Prepare for big events! With Trump big things have to happen, no sense messing with minutiae, and he's got Bill Barr to back him up!

7. Fuck that asshole. It's obvious he's doing a strip-tease. . .

. . .with the Congress and the American public.

8. Total theater pabulum for the public

All parties to the contract would do nothing but support one another, they'd do that before uttering a word of truth or honoring their oath. Don't read their lips, watch their actions and compare their testimony with independently verifiable evidence.

10 Liars don't make truth

10. It stinks that he's only willing to testify in the chamber that he favors.

Why not the House? What is he afraid of? Questions that he isn't expecting or doesn't want to answer?

This is going to be the biggest sham of a trial ever. I hope the dems have a plan.
