Brit Hume says that even if John Bolton testifies that Trump withheld military aid to Ukraine to pressure them into investigating Biden, it doesnt add anything because most Republicans already believe thats what happened even though they wont say that

(24,259 posts)The vast majority of them are just so incredibly lacking in any real ethics and morality that they truly don't care (and won't unless it hits their or their 'owners' bottom line and/or threatens their power, HARD.)
we crossed that line a LONG time ago ...

We have a mafia administration where people are getting threatened and I believe that what happened to Epstein has scared them even more. Epstein was a double-whammy, they got rid of the guy who knew too much, and served as a warning to all those around the con to make sure they stay in line.

(530 posts)I personally have always believed that some, if not many, GOP'ers are active participants in the crime including Mitch McConnell, Bill Barr, and anyone else who has been "honored" to server "at the pleasure of" DJDumpster. And now, thanks to Lev's doc dump, we know that Rob Hynd of Simsbury, CT, was actively involved in what may have been an active plan to assassinate a sitting ambassador.

(2,599 posts)money 'buying' anything in Ukraine can leave no other impression with any sentient being than he was dangling out the possibility of a hit on the Ambassador. He can try to grovel and dissemble his way out of what he said - and his statements are reviewable through his text messages, and I'm sure there's an audio extant of his phone on record with conversations with multiple intelligence services, probably including those of the United States.
Is there really anyone out there who actually believe these were the words of an inebriated tRump acolyte? This guy seems to have been working in concert with both Giuliani and Parnas, and whoever else these two had at their beck and call in this matter. While I don't doubt he boozes it up, these were not the words of some confabulating drunk. He's too close to the nexus of the plot to take Yovaovitch down. And tRump knew about it, and he can try to deny *knowing* Hyde, but photographic evidence disproves that. Multiple times in Parnas's case, which is probably true of Hyde as well. It's just a matter of time before we learn and see the evidence of it. tRump sanctioned the probable assassination of a U.S. ambassador to pave the way - or so it appears. We KNOW he does it. He greenlit the hit on Suleimani seven months ago. Seven months ago. That totally blows up any argument that there was an 'imminent' threat to the U.S. You can't put out a hit on a target seven months in advance of it being carried out and then cry, "imminent threat!"

And of course, Brit Hume DOES realize why. Why? Because Bolton's testimony is so dangerous to Trump.

For the time being though, baking enough cake to serve all the Repugnants a nice, beautiful slice of enjoyable chocolate cake, will definitely call for every toilet in their mansions to be flushed at least 15 times, several cans of Lysol.
