A panic seems to have set in over witnesses.

[kentuck]

Trump wants this trial over with immediately. Mitch must feel the pressure?

It seems like something big is about to happen, perhaps with John Bolton?

Trump and his flunkies are making very loud noises about Hunter Biden testifying. Do they really want him to testify or is it just a big bluff? What they really want is no witnesses. They don't want Bolton and they don't want Mulvaney. Although Trump feels Mulvaney will lie and cover up for him. He is not so sure about Bolton?

Maybe Bolton has agreed to do a cable television interview? And the Trump White House has heard about it? That would explain the panic in their comments and actions.

Who are Lindsey Graham and Ted Cruz working for? Aren't they supposed to be representing the people that put them in the Senate? Or are they working for Donald Trump?

There's a sense of unease in the White House. They are fearful that some Senators may break ranks and vote for witnesses? The White House doesn't want witnesses, not even Hunter Biden.

1. Plus, their boss is out of the country. The unease is palpable.

[Hassler]

2. Chump has two boots, one for Lindseed and one for Rafael to lick.

[marble falls]

3. Getting Bolton on Rachel: that would be amazing.

[BigmanPigman]

6. You'd have to pay him more than his book dea.

Greedy Traitor!

[msongs]

4. trump should testify. he is the one on trial here nt

[Mme. Defarge]

5. He says he wants to.

[Claritie Pixie]

7. Maybe we should all be demanding he testify. His ego may do it.

[struggle4progress]

20. He's too chickenshit

[Claritie Pixie]

21. You're right! He wouldn't be able to do it.

[safeinOhio]

22. Plus he has a

note from his doctor.

[czarjak]

34. But, he's their kind of chickenshit?

[Eyeball_Kid]

13. Trumpy lies all the time. n/t

[triron]

33. But republicans would pretend they heard the truth and nothing but the truth.

[vapor2]

8. Whatever the reason is for this unknown panic

I get pleasure from watching the republicans squirm.

[kentuck]

9. Adam Schiff is a Patriot.

As are all of his fellow patriots.

[Bev54]

10. New poll

out tonight, discussed with Rachel Maddow (I think AP not sure) 72% want witnesses and documents.

[kentuck]

12. That would create a small panic...

I would suppose?

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. 52% want Trump removed NOW. n/t

[uponit7771]

31. MSNBC Poll has 57% of ***LIKELY VOTERS*** want removal !! This is not going well

... for the kGOP

[SCantiGOP]

11. Bolton is probably being careful

that he doesn’t accidentally commit suicide.

[Eyeball_Kid]

17. Please, John.

Stay away from balconies and small plane flights. Don't cross the street alone. Switch barbers. Switch your dentist.

[defacto7]

29. at least until after you testify. After that, take a leap.

[czarjak]

35. His walrus impersonation should save him.

[WhiteTara]

14. Bank documents that prove trum[

was laundering money for the Russians.

[kentuck]

16. I read something about that a couple of days ago...

but some people were questioning the source? Something like $500 million from a Deutsche BanK?

[WhiteTara]

18. the source was the bank and their records.

Russia deposited it and trump took it out.

edited to add: He took it out as loans from the bank

[kentuck]

19. Yes!

Has that story been verified?

[freepotter]

23. Here's one of the sources

I don't know anything about this source, but this seems to be relevant. Would be just too delicious if it's true. https://forensicnews.net/2020/01/21/russian-government-bank-deposited-500-million-into-deutsche-bank-subsidiary-as-it-lent-to-trump/

[live love laugh]

24. I expect nothing from Bolton even if he testifies

and it’s logical to me that they will call very limited witnesses to avoid going down in history having not done so.

[MartyTheGreek]

25. Mulvaney - OMB did release FOIA Docs Just before Deadline...

Is he CYA and wanting to be on the right side of history suddenly? Maybe cracks are happening.

[kentuck]

26. I think he might be the best witness to call.

He might be ready to crack. He knows his days are numbered.

[uponit7771]

32. +1, Mulvaney should be in jail for confiscating the 400 million. He's going to save his

... own butt

[guillaumeb]

27. The GOP truly needs a diversion.

Trump's attempt at starting a war failed, at this point at least.

[karynnj]

28. with Bolton, the question he might need to ask himself is would Bolton prefer a President Pence

he might be more in sync with Pence.

30. Testify?
