Questions raised by a reported draft manuscript of a forthcoming book by John Bolton give Democrats hope in their call for new witnesses to testify at the Senate impeachment trial.

on Sunday, President Trump told him he wanted to continue holding nearly $400 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped investigate Democrats including former Vice President Joe Biden.

Sen. Mitt Romney talks to reporters before heading into the weekly Senate Republican policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol, Jan. 21, 2020, in Washington, D.C. "I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. In fact, he never complained about this at the time of his very public termination. “If John Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book,” Trump tweeted.

In this screengrab, Deputy White House Counsel Mike Purpura speaks in the Senate Chamber at the U.S. Capitol during President Trump's impeachment trial on Jan. 25, 2020 in Washington.

Doesn’t anyone else find the “anonomous” source, the timing & use of The NY Times suspicious? Use to be the call for witnesses. Now all you hear is Bolton. Seems like a pressure move just to get Bolton out there under oath w/o any proof the book comment is even true.

The NYT lied about leaks for two years regarding Russian collusion, and now everybody wakes up in a whole new world where the Times is credible. sheeesh! morons

TheView will trump demand her head on a pike?

TheView There is NO logical reason or justification for Senators NOT insisting on pertinent documents & witnesses (made to DEFY Subpoenas for Testimony)be Persued! Trump blocking info. is in itself, incriminating & subverts the US & Democracy! We, the People are entitled to WHOLE Truth!

Burnt toast is speaking....

I don't trust her. Remember she put Kavanaugh on the SC.

TheView Hey Trump, you gonna threaten them some more today. Wait, 'if you hear Bolton testify your head will be on a pike'! Lol What time does the freak show start today RemoveandIndictTrumpNOW Liars

The Senates role is to weigh the evidence, not fill in the blanks the House, in its Haste , chose to leave empty.

BFD - just more propaganda from the Democrats media handmaidens. It’s Kavanaugh 2.0 and everyone knows it!

wsbtv Suckers falling for another partisan attempt to “Kavanaugh” this process. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Guess the MSM just wants to keep the status quo of taxpayer dollars and debt being funneled from the US to other interests with little to no oversight...

TheView WE WILL TAKE OVER THE SENATE THE FCKEN BLUE WAVE IS COMING!

Democrats been talking about Bolton for threes months! Were they waiting for his book to be ready to ad to more 2020 election interference? YES YES YES YES

TheView Well 'bless her heart'

How about Schiff release the IGs deposition which he’s still sitting on. Oh and if witnesses are called how about the GOP calling Schiff, the whistleblower, the IG over Intelligence, Schiffs staff since they coordinated with the whistleblower

Targeting US aircraft in Afghanistan and killing 100 US intelligence ... Monday, January 27, 2020

Doubt it, don't worry, there's plenty of people, reticent & ready to feign indignation online about why testimony is a conspiracy.

Democrats been talking about Bolton for threes months! Were they waiting for his book to be ready to ad to more 2020 election interference? YES YES YES YES

Bombshell? President said in August, after the aide was released that he wish they would have investigated Biden before releasing aide. Yeah, we know that already. He wanted to investigate possible corruption before sending aide. So...

For Bolton’s book to get printed it will have to be vetted. What better vetting than sworn testimony in front of the Senate? Ka Ching!

Question is if it will be sold in the fiction or nonfiction section?

Message to All politicians and Trump haters. The funds were sent without strings. 1000 people can testify Trump intended to do something but his actions were different. That is like a robber intends to rob a bank but instead, he withdraws money from his account. Do you convict?

Susan Collins has no backbone. Just playing with ignorant folks hoping to get re-elected.

You don't say 🙄 The American people are on to these 👿Shills, ..GreatAwakening MAGA2020

If dems want witnesses lets do this open the whole can of worms dirty dems like Biden Schiff let's drag this out for another year

GOP: Let's huddle up and see who we can pin this on. Now they don't want to talk about anything at a press conference. They had to convene the brain trust.

They should be careful what they wish for.

It’s no bombshell. The aid got there. There was no quid pro quo. Tired of this circus. The world is laughing at us!

Three years of investigations and all they have is he sent the aid early, but it wasn't early enough. Seriously, give it up Democrats. The media is playing you for click bait fools.

oh please she will still side with trump and the gop she is all words

TheView She thinks that just by saying it, it will be enough. 'Conversations among my colleagues'...what a joke.

WE WANT THE TRUTH nothing else

Just like I said before the only way to get the Intel out in the public was to make it known to the public. Bolton knew the Republicans were knee deep in a cover-up.
