This is John Dean all over again. You make the points the Nixon defenders tried to make. The tapes proved Dean right. At the heart of all this now is an impeachable crime of using a foreign government to go after a political opponent. That is against current law whether you want it to be or not.
I NEVER told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats, including the Bidens. 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. With that being said, the transcripts of my calls with President Zelensky are all the proof that is needed, in addition to the fact that President Zelensky & the Foreign Minister of Ukraine said there was no pressure and no problems. Additionally, I met with President Zelensky at the United Nations (Democrats said I never met) and released the military aid to Ukraine without any conditions or investigations - and far ahead of schedule. I also allowed Ukraine to purchase Javelin anti-tank missiles. My Administration has done far more than the previous Administration.

Hannity has been saying on the radio - Bolton said that Pres Trump said to him, that he WANTED to hold up the Ukraine aid...til they started investigating the bidens.
But that never once got back to the Ukraine, not ever. So, NO quid pro quo.
That's similar as me saying I think I want to rob a bank to pay off my pickup truck. Except, of course, I would never actually do that.
and then some liberal nutjob says "see? Cal robbed a bank " !
because he is a socialist dishonest anti-American lowlife coniving leftwing commie sombeitch, there's no truth of any crime there.
the left is now "feeling" that they can live the book "1984" because they have all the power in the house.
Time to put all this garbage to the dumpster, end it once and for all. It has been, they even admitted, a ploy to ruin Pres Trump's chances of being re-elected, in terms of covering up all the great things he has done.

"Furthermore, there are glaring issues with The New York Times story on the leaked manuscript," the RNC's Steve Guest wrote. "Not only does it omit direct quotes from Bolton’s manuscript, it doesn’t cite any named sources."

the phony ? ! allegation that Pres Trump said to Bolton, that he wanted to withhold that aid until
they announce the Biden investigations.
whatever.
I've said before - If I said I wanted to rob a bank and pay off our pickup truck...
that isn't a crime. Neither is being a lying jerkface.
Bolton has shot down any chance of being in government service again. But CNN/MSNBC will keep paying him
big bucks as another dishonest innuendo/false rumor and propaganda hack.
AGAIN - no "there" there. Nothingburger. Because Pres Trump never withheld the aid. I believe Bolton was one of the leakers earlier on, and that is why Bolton had to go.
What a disreputable "witness".

but the point is, and has always been - to drag on the farce to effect a defeat of a current president that is KEEPING HIS PROMISES to us that elected him, has the economy roaring, has redone/going to redo bad trade deals, put two HONEST Supreme Court Justices - helped and supported our VETERANS HUGELY, supported the LIVES of UNBORN and BORN CHILDREN, defended our gun rights, our first amendment,....etc.
the left can't run on issues. they have no good ideas to fix any damn thing. So they invented the farce, drug it out til the voters went south on it in the polls, and now they want the Senate to drag it out for no legitimate reason. This manuscript of Bolton's has been out there for how long? a year? and just at the perfect point of controversy, it's "leaked" out there?
enough of this crap. Bolton is just another turd. He wants to make money selling his book and be a popular contributor ($$$$) on CNN, and MSNBC...
and, try to screw over the President that terminated him. Apparently, he's been a deep stater all along, from the Reagan days.

Townhall: Bolton Should Testify
"By insisting on a defense of total denials, Trump has backed himself into a corner. When you shout "no quid pro quo!" at the top of your lungs for months (even as the opposite conclusion has been a baked-in assumption among the impeachment crowd all along), it looks quite incriminating if the talking point is forced to morph into "this quid pro quo was not illegal!" based on new evidence. This is why I've always blanched at the "perfect call/nothing wrong" claims. Most people, including many impeachment opponents, simply don't buy it -- and the lies and spin end up becoming aggravating factors as people assess the administration's credibility on all matters, not just this one. That damage is self-inflicted."

I would agree a better strategy would have been for Trump to say the Biden's absolutely deserved to be investigated for corruption and he put a pause on the aid to see if the rampant corruption in Ukraine was being addressed (and that included the Bidens). The bottom line though is he did release the aid without any quid pro quo and the whole political impeachment is a sham.

For a guy who couldn’t get approved for the Ambassador to the U.N. years ago, couldn’t get approved for anything since, “begged” me for a non Senate approved job, which I gave him despite many saying “Don’t do it, sir,” takes the job, mistakenly says “Libyan Model” on T.V., and many more mistakes of judgement, gets fired because frankly, if I listened to him, we would be in World War Six by now, and goes out and IMMEDIATELY writes a nasty & untrue book. All Classified National Security. Who would do this?

Bolton was another bad hire by Trump. If I find fault with anything about Trump it would be some of his poor choices in whom he has hired. Of course then you will hear "but he said he only hires the best"...blah, blah....you can only try to the hire "the best".
