“The LORD preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth upside down.”

Inside the Blue echo chamber they really believe they have the country with them.

They don’t.

Please, B’rer Schumer, don’t make me call witnesses! Please, B’rer Nadler, don’t make me call witnesses!”

To bad for them “Song of the South” is strictly verboten.

I don’t want witnesses, but it’s also not a disaster for the GOP.
I don’t want this silly impeachment, but it’s no disaster for Trump.

What I do want is for Trump to win in 2020, with a majority GOP House and Senate, and start impeachment against each of the 4 FISA judges who abused their authority and were derelict in their duty in signing off on the illegal FISA spying.

But what of these things will happen? Nov. can’t come soon enough.

But consider, I also watched every single Dem debate, so my boredom threshold might be abnormal.

Also, I haven’t really been following this, so I could be completely off base, but :

The NYT reported that Bolton wrote that somebody said something – IOW, it’s a report about a report about a conversation – IOW again (IOW squared ?), it’s hearsay about hearsay (about hearsay ? hearsay cubed ?)

But I believe him to be inherently insubordinate and would not have him as an underling, no way.

You beat me to it. This is all just Kavanaugh Part II. Delay as long as possible in the hope that something substantial will turn up, or at least until the American public shouts “enough already!”

On the question of a trade — “you get one witness and we get one witness” — I don’t think the Republican side should call a Biden. What are we going to learn that we don’t know already? I think they should call Eric Ciaramella. By name, not “the whistleblower.” That would force the Dem’s hand, as they’d have to say “hey, you can’t call him, he’s the whistleblower!” Or they’d say nothing, in which case he’d walk in and plead the fifth. I would think Senator Cruz or one or two other Republicans could make him look like a weasel on the stand. Might be a good trade for Bolton.

The Dem argument was completely annihilated in just two hours on Sat, and they had to anticipate it would only get worse for them on Monday. So what do they do but leak the Bolton “bombshell” on Monday morning. They have absolutely no scruples and will do and say anything to survive as the swamp creatures they are.
