      - Where are we on all the subpoenaed House witnesses who wouldn't testify until there was a SCOTUS ruling? -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 16:05 3
        
        No change. Bolton is different because he said he's willing to testify. But, Trump will assert executive privilege and then this will head to the - pmb Jan 28, 16:07 2
        
        If only the head of the ruling body that will make this decision was somehow involved in this trial... -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 16:17 1
        
        That’s not how the system works. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 16:29

        It won't sway the deplorables who will forever believe he had something to hide, but the fence sitters... - Mop Jan 28, 16:07 7
        
        As I said yesterday, you all are underplaying the ability of the lawyers to make Biden look bad simply by innuendo and being forced to testify in that - pmb Jan 28, 16:09 5
        
        I'm with Marlowe, though. Even if this damages daddy, we have other Democrats. -- nm - Mop Jan 28, 16:12 4
        
        It's just wrong and unfair. It may happen but it's not something that should be traded. -- nm - pmb Jan 28, 16:17 3
        
        I agree it shouldn't be traded. But how else to get Bolton to testify? -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 16:42 2
        
        As I said, they are under pressure to have him testify. Dems don't have to give them what they want to make it happen. They don't have the votes to - pmb Jan 28, 16:52 1
        
        Because of the book leak the Repubs don't have the leverage they had before. And the more leaks the less leverage they have. -- nm - . Jan 28, 16:56
        
        right? -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 16:08
      - It’s the only chance they have to get testimony from Bolton which is the end goal at this point. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 15:52 5
        
        I disagree. Either way it's not going to change the outcome. So they're in a position now where they either look like they care about the facts or - pmb Jan 28, 16:01
        
        I don't see the point if it doesn't result in removal. They'll get Bolton's info when the book is out six weeks later. -- nm - Max Jan 28, 15:56 1
        
        He’s not getting removed so they want to damage him as much as possible. The only reasonable way to do that is Bolton at this point. -- nm - spamlet Jan 28, 16:12
        
        says who? - Jovian Jan 28, 15:53 1
        
        spamlet just did. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 28, 16:48
      - It may not work out as a trade. If they can't block Bolton then they'll ask for Biden and the dems can't block that. - pmb Jan 28, 15:45 1
        
        oh yea, I fully expect them to call Hunter, Santa, the tooth fairy. But they certainly arent going to be horse trading on this. -- nm - Jovian Jan 28, 15:52
