I think Bolton will try...and I am mega pulling for him to succeed. Bad move on Trump's part to screw with Bolton. Man is bright, cleaver and evil as all hell.

ridding us of this ugly-demon-nightmare-administration-from-hell, I consider it a fee paid in full for the service.

Everyone knows the House case is 100% accurate; Bolton adds nothing but 1st-hand testimony.

The Right does not care. They care about their power, and destroying the Federal Government's competence.

Bolton might not add much to the Ukraine story, but there's a lot more that hasn't been revealed.

He knows a lot and keeps receipts.

And the American people are going to see it as trying to re-litigate the impeachment we just finally kicked off the news cycle. Our best shot is to vote him out in November.

75-80 percent of the American public wanted witnesses and evidence. They wanted a trial, not the farce staged by senate republicans. As more evidence comes out it will not only further indict trump, it will make senate republicans look more complicit and corrupt.

Less viewers on those stations than they would normally have. There are no grand protests, there are no walk outs or school closings. The public seems largely disengaged. There is no reason to believe they'll care more when some book comes out by someone they haven't heard of.
