Wow.
To date Republicans have managed to write the impeachment off as deranged Trump syndrome on behalf of bitter Democrats who are furious he won in 2016. They say no one can conclusively claim Trump purposely held back military aid from the Ukraines for personal gain, right up until now…
Bombshell book: What we know about John Bolton’s allegations about Trump and Ukraine
In his upcoming book, former national security adviser John Bolton writes that President Donald Trump told him he did not wish to release military aid to Ukraine until that country helped with investigations that could be damaging to Democrats, including former Vice President Joe Biden, according to media reports.
…Bolton is a hard right hawk who loves the smell of napalm in the morning and who never heard an invasion plan of Iran that he didn’t love, but even for a merchant of death like Bolton, Trump’s naked abuse of power was too much.
IF Bolton can be a witness, and that is still a fine line of process that is being thrashed out now, he will be devastating and is the only chance for the Republican establishment to actually rid themselves of the curse that is Donald Trump.
Trump will not be sleeping easy for the first time in a long time.
As interesting is the Trump defence that removing someone from office (for abuse of power) is overturning an election result. An argument for dictatorship/tyranny – where the electors choose “the unaccountable for the duration of their term in office” dictator/tyrant.
Given the whole point of constitutional government is to prevent tyranny, and the POTUS is supposedly to uphold the constitution, it can be argued that Trump has outlined the argument for why he is unfit to hold office.
So let me get this right Martyn. bolton the war hawk who never got within a thousand miles of a war ” i have no intention of dying in a rice paddy” or words to that effect, ” in 2019 we will celebrate in Tehran” wrote it in his book, so it is obviously true?
No this is the republican establishment this time trying to end Trump. The whole left right establishment The CNN, The Fox, Both New York and Chicargo are trying there best to end Trump but at the end of it I still believe cough*trump*ahem.
The only outcome that means anything is the senate vote to remove him or not in other words convict or acquit.
Up until now i thought this whole thing was a waste of everybody’s time because the republican controlled senate would not vote to remove him no ifs no buts.
They weren’t even going too allow for witnesses too testify , so much for a trial.
It is also stopping elected senators like Bernie and Warren from campaigning in the important Iowa caucuses next Monday because of the impeachment hearings allowing Biden a free run.
The game changer will be a number of agitated republican senators who are alarmed at Boltons evidence and what that means for the presidency.
If and it is a big if Trump was convicted and removed it would mean Mike Pence would become president.
Mr Pence is NO Donald J Trump.
The 25th Amendment, Section 1, clarifies Article II, Section 1, Clause 6, by stating unequivocally that the vice president is the direct successor of the president, and becomes president if the incumbent dies, resigns or is removed from office.
What a relief that Pence would be Prez for well under a year. A man with all the charisma of a rabid wolverine has zero chance of winning the GOP nomination, let alone the Presidency. Although if US voters were left with a choice between Pence and Biden, I guess anything is possible …
Be careful what you wish for. Hopefully most of TDB’s readers are aware that pence, pompeo, bolton etc. are believers in the rapture?????
