Don't Worry, Voting To Exclude Witnesses Was The Second Worst Scenario For The GOP.

[TrollBuster9090]

So, the Senate just voted 51-49 to NOT FIND OUT THE TRUTH, proving that 51 GOP Senators are crooked partisan hacks who are had the opportunity to find out the truth, and voted NOT to because they're complicit in the cover up.


We KNEW they were going to vote to acquit Trump. Having said that, there were three possible scenarios.

1. The WORST: they FAILED to block witnesses, and Parnas and Bolton exposed the corruption, but they STILL voted to acquit Trump.

2. The SECOND WORST: they vote to block witnesses, and Parnas and Bolton show the evidence of Trump's criminal behaviour AFTER the GOP has acquitted him. We then say "look, THIS is the stuff they didn't want you to see. THIS IS EXACTLY why they blocked witnesses.

And the best scenario from their point of view.

3. They ALLOWED Bolton only to testify, and he turns out to be a dud. Bolton would have succeeded in PUNKING the Democrats, and he'd sell five times more books than he expected.

I think that third possibility was a real possibility, and I'm glad it played out as option 2.

Having said that, I think it's now time for the House to subpoena Parnas, and also send a subpoena over to the PUBLISHER of Bolton's book. (Not going to get it from Bolton or the White House, but the book publisher might actually honor the subpoena.)

1. It's more than 51. The ones that did only did it for the optics

2. I agree, the vote was for the "optics"..To protect Collins and give her a chance to win in Maine

3. Mitt was already announced, the other

two flipped a coin.

Had all three been needed by party of traitors, all three would have fallen in line.

4. They finally have their dictatorship

If we thought Trump and his cohorts were bad before, we ain’t seen nothing yet. The brakes have been cut on the country and we are poised to begin our plummet on the road to ruin.

6. I like the way you think.

Excellent rundown of the scenarios, plus:

Having said that, I think it's now time for the House to subpoena Parnas, and also send a subpoena over to the PUBLISHER of Bolton's book. (Not going to get it from Bolton or the White House, but the book publisher might actually honor the subpoena.)
