Bolton pegging Floridaman

Since it looks like Bolton is gonna spill the beans will the Trumplicans in the Senate willingly accept roles as co-conspirators, enablers or will they fulfill their constitutional duties?

Pegging is a cribbage term, isn’t it?

Desperate tweet from Floridaman, testimony trumps tweets
The Democrat controlled House never even asked John Bolton to testify. It is up to them, not up to the Senate!

And the mouthbreathers continue to defame the Biden's with no proof they did anything wrong. How scummy is that?

how do we prove whether or not he did anything wrong, unless we investigate? who’s the mouth breather? there’s obvious evidence if biden’s family benefitting from his position, so let’s look into it. your side has no interest. gee, i wonder why that is?

In the US until there is credible proof someone did something wrong, we generally don't investigate. You claimed nepotism previously and I am not sure you know the meaning of it.

TRUMP Bolton's only looking to sell books

He loves them till they leave Him..

And his answers about the troops with the concussion injuries...
heard that they had headaches and a couple of other things, and I can say and report it is not very serious," said President Trump.

Veterans group demands apology from Trump over comments on brain injuries

He'll dismiss that criticism as fake media

A horrible connection if it pans out: On Dec. 30, Trump learned what Bolton’s book would say. Bolton has been pushing war with Iran for years. Iran’s General Soleimani was in US sights for years. Trump suddenly ordered his assassination on Jan. 3, four days after seeing the book.

Some GOP senators reportedly pushing White House for information on who at administration had visibility into the manuscript over the last month. Senators downstream feel blindsided.
Cipollinni's office had the manuscript since December 30th, he claimed before the Senators that there was no direct evidence.

Hope the Senate has hip boots, soon they are going to need a boat.

What does Biden have to do with Trump's impeachment?
Are either Bidens fact witness's?
If there is an actual predicate for the investigation, the FBI will gladly do it.

Meanwhile, Romney says it’s “increasingly likely” more GOP senators vote to call in Bolton and has spoken to other senators about it.

And Floridaman just put out a tweet that likely removes any vestige of executive privilege he had over his conversation with Bolton.
I think he's starting to smell the cell.

i hope they do call in Bolton. If you think i’m terrified of the truth coming out regarding trump, think again.

the biden’s actions only get to the validity of trump asking for an investigation. and that there is benefit to everyone, not just Trump, to finding out what the Biden’s were doing there.

The charge against Floridaman is not that he wanted an actual investigation of corruption in Ukraine, but that he did not care if there was an investigation at all. As all of the evidence in the record shows, what Floridaman asked for was the announcement of an investigation, and Floridaman had no interest in combating corruption of any kind.

The argument for impeachment and removal is that Floridaman engaged in the sort of conduct that the founders identified as justifying including impeachment in the Constitution: Using the nation's foreign policy as a tool for personal benefit, and thereby betraying the public trust, aka abuse of power.

The announcement of an investigation into Burisma and the Bidens would benefit Floridaman's personal political ambitions, yet there is no plausible argument that the mere announcement of an investigation could or would do anything to advance any legitimate anti-corruption agenda.

If there is evidence that Floridaman was actually seeking a genuine investigation, and not merely an announcement, where is it?
Those who might be able to back up that claim, Ambassador John Bolton or OMB Director Mick Mulvaney, have not been allowed to testify, and Floridaman has refused to release documents or other materials that might support this characterization of events.

Joe Biden lost his wife and daughter in a car crash shortly after being elected to the Senate, he lost one of his two remaining children to cancer.
Did he push some for his remaining child, I assume he did, I would also.

But you still have no predicate for the investigation of either of the Bidens.
Being on a board is not an indictable crime or even worthy of investigation, you might wonder what expertise Nikki Haley brings to Boeing if you think it is.

And if you have concerns about emoluments and nepotism you probably should look closely at the current occupant of the White House.

here is the latest conspiracy form thoses seeking the truth....

Source: Alexander Vindman’s Brother, Yevgeny, Clears Publications by NSC Officials

so he leaked Boltons Book

https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...nsc-officials/

and here are some of the most popular comments

both should be arrested as double agents of Russia. 251 likes (PS their not russian LOL)

I have been telling you guys for a long time, the left is playing for keeps. They mean to enslave us or genocide us. Nothing else.I f you can identify antifa cells, leftists in your area, john browns or any of those folks. Be ready to react when the bugaloo happens.

FYI bugaloo is the new code word for Civil war

or I still believe Trump will achieve all this in his second term. We must get control of the House. If the indictments do not begin and if these traitors and bastards get away with their crimes there will be hell to pay.


For everyone defending Trump non stop. ^^^^^ These are the people your to standing next too. and the ideas they embrace .. even if you think your not ...

Senior level White House sources tell ABC the president’s legal team is preparing for the possibility of witnesses in the impeachment trial. Sources tell that the legal team is preparing aggressive, drawn out legal fight to block testimony of potential witnesses.

Any attempt by the White House to silence or censor John Bolton by going to a federal court would run into the quadruple buzz saw of the Senate’s “sole” power to try impeachments, the First Amendment, the Speech and Debate Clause, and political reality.

Search the transcript of Saturday’s impeachment trial, as President Trump’s lawyers began their opening arguments, and you’ll see there’s a name nowhere to be found: John Bolton, the former national security adviser.

The president’s lawyers made no mention of him. And now there’s no need to speculate why. Because the news about what’s in Bolton’s forthcoming book is out — and it shows that his testimony would be devastating to Trump.

The New York Times reported Sunday night that Bolton submitted his manuscript to the White House for pre-publication review four weeks ago. Which means, in all likelihood, that at least some members of the president’s defense team have known exactly what Bolton would say if called to the stand.

Isn’t it interesting how Floridaman’s lawyers are desperately trying to convince us that Floridaman was obsessed with corruption in Ukraine? Yet, Floridaman has never ONCE expressed even a passing interest in corruption in Russia. Or anywhere else for that matter

Putin's puppet

ANTIFA beats the sh*t out of senior citizens. Now, because they vote the same way you do, what do their actions say about you? The answer, of course, is nothing. Absolutely nothing.

"The right" isn't defined by the lunatic fringe, any more than the left is defined by cop killers.

Harvey Weinstein was a very, very prominent democrat. What do his actions say about you, since you vote the same exact way he does?

How many examples do you want? Anthony Weiner, the democrat governor of VA in blackface, etc...We could both go all day. But it would be stupid.

How much do you want to bet?

Yet again, NOW we have the smoking gun. We didn't have it before, but NOW we do...Pete, how many times do you get fooled by these people, before you'll stop listening to them. I actually think Bolton should testify. For the same exact reason the Bidens should testify...it's good that we know what these people are doing in our names.
