I’m guessing it’s the Bolton for Biden trade.

Not that it will make a difference in the end but I bet there’s a few GOP senators that will vote for it to save face and give the trial a sheen of legitimacy.

There is no way its that. - Jovian Jan 28, 15:43 22
- 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
- They can't spend 5 weeks complaining that the trial is a sham because they don't allow evidence to be brought in and then backpedal.. - Marlowe Jan 28, 15:54
- let them call Hunter. It has zero bearing, it's a distraction tactic. -- nm - Remlik Jan 28, 15:53 8
  - 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
