    1. all the intel repubs and all the republican judges are in Trump’s pocket, it’s so obvious. McConnell and Graham have both said they wont be impartial. Why haven’t they been forced to recuse themselves from being jurors?

    1. @Saltponds239 … A Impeachment can not be expunged you moron and no Impeached convicted Official can be pardoned either from any municipality, State or federal government position either by law.

    2. @Bildgesmythe you are exactly wrong when he is acquitted he will not be impeached. See this impeachment trial is to impeach. Fact. Not sure where or who lied to you again but they have not been right one time not once. Been eorng on everything.

    3. @mikey fiftythree I know you can’t and won’t answer but what rights has Trump trampled ? Trampling rights is destroying the second amendment in the Constitution which YOUR party is trying to do.. Abolishing the electoral votes is another which YOUR party is trying. There’s just two true examples. Now where’s your example just one ?

    1. This is all you idiots have because you don’t have anything else on Trump. Now let’s talk about your party and Hollywood celebrities that have been raping 13 and 14 yr old girls on Dem’s pedophile island. Epsteins

    1. ​@Sarah Foster I wasent talking to you tubby but since you want to be included im not voting for a democrat. No thanks id literally rather walk in traffic as you prolly should do us all the favor ; – ;

    1. @Dee Pattison Indeed. He’s threatened violence against others. Would he? Could he? Or is he just a mouthy bully.

    2. @Diane Newton You just need to ask yourself, under who’s watch did Epstein die? Who had access? Who had the means? Who had motive?

    3. Utha. Lev Parnas did say in his interview with Rachel Maddie that he feared William Barr. That he feared being under Barr’s control. He also stated that people fear William Barr. He also stated that Dowd and Downing, the lawyers tRump sent to him told him he better sacrifice himself for tRump or there would be severe consequences. After they told him that he fired them and agreed to go public with his information to protect himself. That he was afraid of what could happen to him and his family. Isn’t that interesting?

    4. Parnas stated that after tRump acquired Barr people started to cooperate with tRump because they feared Barr. Go back and listen to the second half of his interview with Maddow.

    1. @Cameron Cooper Trump actually _can’t_ “block” anybody if proper procedure is followed in the House. Answering congressional subpoenas is only required by law if Congress holds a vote; House Democrats refused to do so, despite having an easy majority. SCOTUS can overrule executive privilege on subpoenas, but House Democrats refused to send any of it to SCOTUS.

      The reasons they didn’t do either of these: 1. They wanted to rush impeachment through to get it done before the holidays because… reasons? and 2. If it went to the courts, Trump would have the opportunity to cross examine, call his own witnesses in the hearings, access information Schiff has chosen to keep secret, you know, basic due process type stuff.

      There are several ways built into the system to get around the Constitutional separation of powers you’re incorrectly calling “obstruction”, the articles are toothless because of the House’s choices, not Trump’s. If you view everything through a lens of “Orange Man Bad” then yea, everything he does is going to _look_ criminal whether it is or not. But *the burden of proof is and always will be on the shoulders of the accuser, never the accused (no matter how much you hate the accused).*

    2. There is a trump supporter here trying to say it’s alright for trump to block witnesses and hide documentation. I am amazed they think this behaviour is appropriate in a president.

    1. @Mark you mean ( Hi my name is Obama I an not from here I am here on a foreign scholarship)? My favorite from you Islamic loves is when one letter off of being Osama, Obama said on stage to his Muslim brotherhood ( I am one of you) also said my Muslim faith compels me. He lied to get the Black vote by telling them he was a Black man he and Warren both used fake bloodlines to get what they wanted.

    2. @Galway Warrior
      What you lack in life, apparently, is a reliable method for determine the difference between truth and fiction.

      You just confirmed that you’re a victim of misinformation.

    1. Just like that, you have no idea what you are talking about. Now let’s talk about your elected officials and Hollywood celebrities that have been raping 13 and 14 yr old girls on Dem’s pedophile island Epstein.

  1. Regardless of how damaging Bolton”s evidence is, Republicans will still vote to keep this corrupt nincompoop in office.

    1. ​@Joseph Guzman , Maybe, but it could be a simple as Putin dangling hotels all over Russia, if Trump delivers. What do you think they talk about in closed doors? It’s all business, quid-pro-quos through and through. Trump pulled out of treaties, he delivered Syria, and almost got away with delivering Ukraine. That sounds like 3 hotels so far. Let us not forget that nice WH invitation by Trump to the Russians, and then by Putin for his May parade that Trump accepted but didn’t go because someone at the WH knocked a bit of sense into him. Do you realize why Trump wants to be so friendly to Putin? By helping install Trump, Putin gave Trump his tax breaks for the rich and much more, for his kids and himself, as a nice side-dish.

    2. Dont worry it’s the people that will throw trump out if the GOP doesnt. I see 75% now want witnesses and docs at the trial. They can see and they will vote

    3. Yeah Americans will win the election in November and we will jerk our government from your pedofficials hands.

  2. They are afraid because Bolton’s testimony will implicate Mulvany, Pompeo, Barr, and all their criminal gangs.

    1. Saltponds239 if that happens you can kiss SS and Medicaid good bye along with EPA, USDA and 50 years of progress made for the people

  3. GOP will go with “it’s not an impeachable offense” so didnt need Bolton testimony.. they would rather his details come out in a book “for profit” than under oath

  4. What a sad State of this Union if the corrupt GOP successfully prevent the will of the people against such a criminal president.

  5. If they want to bring in hunter Biden, then put Ivanka and Jared on trial as well. They’ve profited off the presidency many more times than hunter.

    1. Alvinius Alviniathan non of them should all of them are irrelevant to this investigation even if Hunter was guilty

    1. Again for the stupid uninformed idiots that know absolutely nothing. The Greatest President Donald Trump doesn’t have to prove he is innocent. What country are you from Russia or the middle east ?

  6. If Trumps nose grew like Pinocchios at a rate of 2″ per lie for an est 16.000 lies.
    His nose would be 2666ft 8″ long.😨😨😨

    1. @Galway Warrior He started with the number of his inauguration crowd, and the last lie I heard was about the cleanest air and water in the USA since decades (or said he since centuries?), and in between are more than 15,000.
      Are you sarcastic, or a blind, deaf and obedient member of theTrump-cult?

    1. The problem the Republicans have is that trump has financial and other other criminal issues coming along the road. So many problems for the Republicans they may just try to save their party and let trump go

    1. @Galway Warrior Seeing as the criminal trump refuses to release his tax returns how can we tell if he has even paid any tax at all
