A few takeaways:
The Presidents lawyers made the case for calling John Bolton, falsely claiming the President never told anyone the aid was conditioned on investigations.
They dont deny Trump sought foreign interference in 2020.
They smear the Bidens.
They have no defense.

None. Zilch. Zippo. No defense at all.

(9,674 posts)So Trump gets to walk.
We are each adjudicating a separate case. Ours is real and constitutional. Theirs is the greatest lie ever perpetrated on the American people, determined to redefine what it is to be an American person.
These are scary times.

(5,815 posts)On what sentence he gets for his treachery......or traitorous work.
Hope he gets to reside behind bars for quite a while. Will a crowd be on hand to scream Lock him up!????

(206,332 posts)And if there isn't a crowd on hand to shout it - you can be sure that both the news anchors, not to mention the late night hosts, will certainly bring it up!

(1,775 posts)But lots of name calling, American flags and some scantily clad women. Maybe lots of trolls. And not too many people following the negative comments. Perhaps rw telling trumpeter trolls to respond.
They do like to repeat what has been said by the predictable talking points, don't they? The pro Schiff tend to be factual and we'll spoken.
Maybe a lot of bots?

(21,673 posts)their defense is that the Biden investigation was justified. From that position, they will insist that if John Bolton testifies, then Hunter and/or Joe will have to testify in order to 'prove' why Trump told Bolton that he was seeking info on the Bidens.
It's a classic Trump maneuver to accuse someone else whenever he is accused of something. Diversion tactic.
