This bolton thing sure seems like it could be the establishment end game some have been suspecting all along.
1. Mitch is pretending to support him.
2. Pelosi holds out for a month to get the bolton book closer to print. (bolton gets huge publicity for book.)
3. NYT has leak.
4. at the last minute they allow bolton to testify.
5. Bolton says Trump did it. Pulls out some email.
6. Establishment Republicans say they have to follow constitution.
A few of them willing to lose their seats or in safe seats vote with the democrats.
Pence or Romney runs with a woman VP promising to fulfill Trumps "good policies"..
Trump gets pardon...
Everyone happy except the President Ivanka and Jared.
The way out for the republicans is to fix their bayonets and fight.
I am not going to replay three previous posts that I have done on it, but I will offer up the reminder that the memos, texts, and related documents ABSOLUTELY showing that the Obama adminstration was concerned about Burisma but could not figure out how to deal with Hunter being there ARE ABSOLUTELY OUT AND IN HAND. Along with evidence that the New York Times had a full story and investigation in process but backed off when the DOJ backed off. The supporting documentation and sign in for meetings at the white house absolutely confirms that they were hosted by Eric Ciarmella.
Trump absolutely has a credible defense against the allegation that he was 100% politically motivated by demonstrating beyond doubt that he was doing what event previous adminstration was doing EXCEPT THEY WERE THE ONES WHO BACKED DOWN FOR POLITICAL REASONS.
The way the republicans need to deal with this is to fight. Bring Biden in, bring ciarmella in (without even designating him as the whistleblower, just because he was listed in the white house logs), and call Schiff etc.
