    Default Trump Tied Ukraine Aid to Inquiries He Sought, Bolton Book Says

    Drafts of the book outline the potential testimony of the former national security adviser if he were called as a witness in the president’s impeachment trial.

    Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton.

    Let us start a running list of the message board idiots who attempted to claim Trump was just innocently trying to root out corruption in a middling Eurasian country, with no thought to any personal benefit to himself.

    They will throw a neocon right-wing warmonger into the left. It is what they do.

    Bolton is such a butt hurt neocon. Trump was an idiot to take on a known warmonger who constantly agitated for war ( strikes) against Iran. (etc.)

    What stood out to me in the article was Bolton's lawyer bitching that the WH leaked the drafts.
    does that make any sense? no.
    Bolton had been shopping drafts around. Obviously that was the leaks

    Bolton is an egotistical sleeze bag.
    This whole thing is a bunch of back stabbing warmongers and sleazoids like Vindman
    who want an open checkbook for Ukraine.

    I said long ago ANY DEALINGS with Ukraine were going to turn out bad. they ALL LIE. they are ALL CORRUPT. Including Biden, Parnas, Poroshenko -all of them

    Ok, let’s put Bolton under oath.

    We all know anyone can say anything in a book, so let’s see what Bolton says under oath. And while we’re at it, let’s see what Hunter Biden, Eric Ciaramella and Adam Schiff say under oath.

    Let’s see how bad Senate Democrats want to hear from Bolton.

    lets spend at least 2 more months on impeachment
    (nominally a bad idea,but with this Congress it doesn't matter all that much.)

    Eventually the Senate has to look at the facts and decide on the POTUS actions.

    1. ex. is it corrupt to look for political dirt as well as a legit corruption investigations on the Bidens?
    2.Does it being Biden mean the dirt can't be disturbed because he is a candidate
    (absurd -since Trump was under FBI investigation at this point)

    The phone call shows no quid, and that is the only first hand account we have of Trump's words

    Wrap this one up. On to the next impeachment!

    Right lol?

    Trump’s defense pivots around Bidens/Burisma so there’s nothing Democrats can do to keep Hunter from testifying.

    Also, Democrats can’t/won’t admit it but there are legitimate questions about how this all started and whether there was any coordination between Eric Ciaramella, Shifty and/or his team and even Joe Biden himself, since the IG claimed there was ‘an indication of bias towards a certain candidate’ on the part of the WB.

    So, Democrats can forget the idea the Senate will just hear from only Bolton. If they want to hear from Bolton they will risk blowing the lid off this whole thing.

    Let’s see if they’ll role the dice, or not.

    Just because the request revealed an ancillary result that Hunter and Joe were dirty, does not mean that it was not totally legal.

    No one wants corruption by a Vice President and his son to go undiscovered.

    Well, the Democrats don’t want them to testify.

    Anyone besides me notice the timing of these ‘revelations’ lol?

    The day before Trump’s defense wraps up, Bolton’s book is leaked. And it was a timely leak since even the lefty pundits were saying Trump’s defense was a win. The lefties and their timely leaks.

    But yeah, either all the worms are dumped on the table or none of them are. Democrats want to play the ‘if you don’t vote for witnesses your engaged in a cover up’ card—then hang them from their own petard

    "I never told John Bolton that the aid to Ukraine was tied to investigations into Democrats ... if Bolton said this, it was only to sell a book" - Trump tweet.

    Remind me: which one is the notorious pathological liar, Bolton or Trump?

    I bet Bolton is discovered to be a 'deep state' Hillary agent after this!
