So Is There Anything In The Bolton Book That Could Have....

sealed the deal on the Impeachment of Donald Trump? Is there anything in it that would have caused the Repugs to vote to impeach? Let me clarify this upon edit - that's if Bolton would have been called before the Impeachment committee and have been made to testify.

Or is this just another book of revelations about Trump and his administration that will ultimately be given a pass?

Would have just discredited Bolton as a whatever, and cast just enough doubt to provide cover for them to say no.

There was no way in hell the senate was going to vote for impeachment ..as long as that orange asshole stays put Mitch gets to load up the courts with incompetent right wing no-nothings and billionaires get their tax cuts and bailouts ..

but it will also make him more crazy than he already is with these powerful ads coming out about this book, thanks to Rick Wilson and crew. I hope people keep this in the news because it is enough to make an ad a week. Biden need to take advantage of this too because it is about stealing an election for something he lied and said the impeachment was a hoax.It needs to run on every news station. All his crimes along with Bill Barr soap involvement and the Barr Association should call on him to resign and the American people need to do the same.

Bolton could have undeniable video proof of 45 committing the worst crimes possible and only Romney would still have been the only Republican to vote for conviction.

Trump could dig up Jean Kirkpatrick and hump her bones and all the Republicans would do is throw him a cushion.
