Trump IMPEACHED by the US House; US Senate Trial Allows No New Witnesses & Acquits Trump

[Reality Check]

Need more than just a handful of Moderate Repubs in order to convict Trump

I'm guessing Bolton didn't want to testify for a Democratic led House investigation but knows he'll have more softballs lobbed his way during a republican led Senate trial.

Schiff weighs in on Bolton offering to testify in impeachment trial if Senate subpoenas him:

@RepAdamSchiff
Bolton is an important witness to misconduct involving Ukraine that he called a “drug deal.”
Bolton refused to testify in the House, following Trump’s orders.
Now he is willing to come forward. The Senate must allow testimony from him, Mulvaney and others. The coverup must end.

New Schumer statement on Bolton:

"It is now up to 4 Senate Rs to support bringing in Mr. Bolton.... if any Senate Republican opposes issuing subpoenas to the four witnesses and documents we have requested they would make absolutely clear they are participating in a cover up.”

Bolton is full of shyt. I don't believe in any of these republicans to do the right thing.

The news that Bolton is willing to testify is unlikely to change McConnell’s strategy over Trump’s trial, according to multiple GOP sources familiar with the matter. “Not at all,” one source said. McConnell expected to address his view at GOP lunch tomorrow. w/@Phil_Mattingly

I wonder if these idiots realize that this can have collateral damage in the future. Can you imagine 10 years from now the outrage on the right if a Democratic President is impeached and because of the rule change, a democratic-leaning senate dismisses the charges right away.

@mkraju
Just asked Sen Rubio if he‘d vote to subpoena Bolton. “I wouldn’t because..I believe you should be constrained by the information that those articles are based on..if the House wants to start a new impeachment inquiry or..add additional elements to it that’s their choice to make”

Don't you need 60 or 67 votes in favor to change the rule?

Normally.

But that's what the Nuclear Option overrides apparently

I thought it was for judicial nominees only?

The Nuclear Option can't be applied in this situation.
