Did I seriously watch a trump lawyer try to confirm the Ukrainian conspiracy theory in front of everybody?
lol Jesus......
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
LOL Trump's defence has NOTHING! This is horrible representation. It's a good thing the fix is in or Trump would be gone.
But unless a handful Republicans grow a spine it won't matter because Moscow Mitch is trying to make this a sham.
Of course it could change in the next couple days over closed door lunches, but Collins and Romney are open for witnesses and Toomey is ok at this point for a one for one witness deal
I don't see what ocd posts, unless someone quotes him.
Rocket quoted him. I saw what he said about me. That's just great. Between him, and a certain few others on here and their opinions of me, it's best I just be done for the most part.

Read something at lunch where trump is all up on Mitch to get the vote done and over by this Sunday; why-because trump has an interview with Hannity just before the super bowl to proclaim his vindication. And the the cluster next Tuesday in the state of the union where he will rail against the dems, Bidens, NPR and CNN. Some real lcd stuff there
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Monday he wants to see former national security adviser John Bolton's forthcoming memoir and indicated the White House should hand it over.
The New York Times reported on Sunday that Bolton, in his yet-to-be-released book, will claim that Trump tied aid to Ukraine to the country helping with investigations into Democrats, including former Vice President Biden and his son Hunter Biden.
Graham on Monday said that Senate should be "evaluate" the manuscript.
"I think what we have to do here is evaluate the manuscript. ...I want to know what's in the manuscript," Graham said.
Graham waffled between questions on how senators would get a copy of Bolton's pick, which was handed over to the White House National Security Council as part of a standard pre-publication review.
Some Democrats have floated trying to subpoena Bolton's manuscript. Graham hedged when asked if he would back a subpoena, but argued that it shouldn't be "hard" for senators to get a copy .
"Apparently the White House has it, you can ask for it," he added.
The report on Bolton's book has injected new life into the debate within the Senate Republican caucus over calling witnesses.
Democrats need four Republicans to vote with them to successfully open the door to witnesses. After that both sides would be expected to make motions for specific individuals and the Senate would vote on them.
Asked if it changed his calculations, Graham responded "I don't know yet."
"The White House said there was no direct evidence of communication, maybe this suggests that one person said there might be. What I've said all along is if you're going to add to the record, we're going to do it in a balanced way," he said.
"If we add to the record, we're going to call Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and all these other people," he added.
Bolton told Barr he was concerned Trump did favors for autocrats: report
Former national security adviser John Bolton reportedly told Attorney General William Barr that he feared President Trump was granting personal favors to the leaders of China and Turkey.
Bolton recounted the episode in a draft version of his upcoming memoir, according to people familiar with the manuscript who spoke to The New York Times on the condition of anonymity.
Bolton reportedly wrote that Barr responded that he was worried Trump may have created the appearance of having improper influence over investigations involving companies based in those two countries during personal conversations with the leaders of China and Turkey.
It was not immediately clear what "personal favors" Bolton reportedly referred to in his book. In recent months, the Trump administration has faced criticism for allowing a Turkish military invasion of areas of northern Syria held by U.S.-backed Kurdish forces, and the Times noted that Bolton wrote that Barr specifically singled out Trump's conversations with Chinese President Xi Jinping about the Chinese telecommunications firm ZTE as a cause for worry.
Bolton, in a joint statement with publisher Simon & Schuster said Monday that they were not involved in leaking transcripts of Bolton's book to the Times, though Bolton has not yet denied any revelations reported by the Times.
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment from The Hill.
On Sunday, it was reported that Bolton wrote in the book that Trump had told him he wished to tie $391 million in aid to Ukraine to his requests for Ukrainian investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden (D) and other Democrats, a charge which Trump's lawyers immediately denied.
Trump personally lashed out at his former aide on Twitter after the Sunday report, writing that he "never" told Bolton that aid to Ukraine was linked to his desire for a criminal investigation into Biden, a 2020 political rival.
"I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens," Trump tweeted. "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."
"It certainly doesn't have to be a crime if you have somebody who completely corrupts the office of president and who abuses trust and who poses great danger to our liberty, you don't need a technical crime...”
Alan Dershowitz, 1998
“I did say that then, and then I’ve done all the extensive research,” “I’ve been immersing myself in dusty old books, and I’ve concluded that no, it has to be crime.”
“Even if the factual allegations are true -- which are highly disputed and which the defense team will show contrary evidence -- but even if true, they did not allege impeachable offenses,” “So there can’t be a constitutionally authorized impeachment.”
-Alan Dershowitz, 2020
So, his 180° turnaround had nothing to do with the previous prez being a Donk and this one being a Pachyderm? Just like Lindsey Graham's 180° on witnesses?
Seeing this, one really must ask Mr. Dershowitz, Esq this question:
"Were you a partisan hack back then, or are you a partisan hack now?"

“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that 49% of Likely U.S. Voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. Fifty percent (50%) disapprove.
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”
Oh that poll that the sexual predator O Reilly associates with?
Yuck.

These dems senators that "may" side with Trump and vote to acquit must not understand how bad their dem base wants Trump removed. I watched both side argue for over 40 damn hours and can not see how any democrat could even think about voting to acquit at this point. I know I'm jaded, but it's not even close. Schiff put on a master class in laying out the case against Trump, and the defense was sophomoric at best.
hiding evidence ..and covering up deplorable acts. Pfft.
