    Default Bolton lands with a dud

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Former national security adviser John Bolton said Wednesday he was surprised that Senate Republicans rejected his offer to testify in President Donald Trump's impeachment trial. But he said that even if he had testified, it wouldn't have changed the outcome of the trial because of how House Democrats handled their investigation.

    "I think the House committed impeachment malpractice," Bolton said at an event at Vanderbilt University with Susan Rice, who was national security adviser during the administration of former President Barack Obama. "The process drove Republicans who might have voted for impeachment away" because "it was so partisan," he said.

    But, he added, "my testimony would have made no difference to the ultimate outcome."

    ‘Impeachment malpractice’.

    Bolton is surprised Senate Republicans didn’t want to hear from him even as he concedes it wouldn’t have changed anything lol?

    Because even if the allegation could be proven it didn’t rise to the level of conviction, John.

    That interview spells the official end of that. Now it’s time to get to Durham, somehow or other, before he reports. That puts a bullseye on Barr’s chest.

    He's right about that, but he's lying about the reason. Nobody expected the Senate to remove trump. This is all fodder for August campaign ads showing trump's crimes.

    He's on a major revenge tour right now, and it's not a good look. He's clearing out qualified career staff, and replacing them with incompetent loyalists. This won't look good once he's going one on one with a Dem candidate.


    Bolton was out to sell books. Stupid business move. No Democrat will buy his book, and now he's alienated trumpkins who can't read anyway.

    The book will land with a dud too.
    Once in a while you get shown the light, in the strangest of places if you look at it right.

    There were no Trump crimes.

    He was charged by the partisan House and acquitted by the Senate.

    Exoneration is forever.

    Exonerated until the state AGs step forward next 21 Jan with their indictments on Trump.

    They will fail then because there were no crimes in the articles of impeachment. After two years Mueller found no crimes. The definition of mental retardation is doing or saying the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.

    Leftists will gobble the thing up looking to find dirt on Trump. You're not very intelligent.

    Barr put an end to the Southern District of NY's case against trumpco. The real fun does indeed start when trump is dragged from the WH next January.
