Bolton a no-show at impeachment panel; Pence aide appears

Bolton needs to be locked up until he agrees to testify; it's what regular courts do when a subpoena is defied.

Nobody, not even Donny, is above the law.

An attorney for Bolton, Charles Cooper, said his client had not received a subpoena. Cooper had said Bolton wouldn't appear without one.

Why is this even up to the courts? He could reach out to the committees and testify if he wanted to since he's no longer employed by the government.

Come on John, others in the admin have done it, you can do it too. Listen to your conscience, do it for the country. This fool is not worth damaging your legacy. Of all the things you have done in your life, nothing will come close to the good you can do for the country than testifying.

They say they will simply use the no-shows as evidence of the president's obstruction of Congress.

Those in Congress trying to get at truth know the Constitutional separation and balance of powers are at risk as Trump backed by the global elite tries to usurp powers to grant the executive authority associated with despots.

Listen to your conscience, 

Bolton's a neo-con who's pushed for invasions in which thousands of innocents have been slaughtered and millions of lives have been harmed. He has NO conscience. He knows Trump's the best thing that's happened to the defense industries he's been part of throughout his career. He's not going to jeopardize his connections with them and the money he's made by biting the hands that have fed him.

This “inquiry” quickly became a farce.

I'd like to have Bolton on record. I think he's be honest yet give the least amount of info possible.

Conveniently the article is about who didnt testify when the transcript doesnt go the Dems way.

But Bolton was supposed to happily testify against Trump and be the bombshell! oops.

I look forward to George Kent telling us all about this next week publicly:

"George Kent, a career official at the State Department, told House investigators conducting the impeachment inquiry against President Trump that he raised concerns about Hunter Biden's lucrative service on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company -- but was told that it wasn't appropriate to discuss the matter because of the health struggles of Biden's eldest son, Beau.

According to a transcript of his Oct. 15 closed-door deposition released Thursday, Kent confirmed that he had no "direct knowledge" that U.S. aid to Ukraine was ever connected to the opening of a new investigation against the Bidens concerning their business dealings there."

William Taylor, how did you "know" this to be true?

Answer: I didnt talk to the President or anyone else. I read it in the New York Times. total dud.

including top Ukraine diplomat William Taylor, have testified that it was their understanding that Ukraine would not receive military assistance or a coveted Oval Office visit until it met the president's demands.

Keep beating that dead horse Blacklabel...

Let's see, that's one no QPQ, to six yes QPQ - to include Donnie's confession? Uh-oh, he better get a good lawyer and make like Sondland and "revise" his testimony quick before he's charged with perjury...

Bolton is just waiting for his subpoena - then we'll hear all about "Hand Grenade Rudy" and his Ukrainian "drug deal".

Donnie may regret calling Bolton "a disaster"...

no dead horse, its the testimony of the man who Schiff subpoenaed to testify. Funny how you wont accept peoples words when they dont say what you have already predetermined.

Oh ye of the the hope of Bolton....still hanging on. You do know that case where the guy went to court saying he didnt need to testify even he got a subpoena. Lawsuit was dropped by Schiff who was afraid to lose the case so said that guy doesnt need to come. Bolton can just do the same.

who said Bolton even said this? Eric?

the guy who Schiff forgot to remove his name from Taylors testimony? Adam Schiff outed the whistleblower, that hillaryious. His name was on page 236 of the transcript, which has now been removed from the House of Representatives website where it was posted.

And play the Democrats political coup scheme, why would the man stoop to the ignorant Democrats level?

Come on John, others in the admin have done it, you can do it too.

No, the man hates Democrats more than he hates a lot of the socialists European leaders, he’s not going play nice to a party of thugs that would never give him the time of day once their goals would be reached...hypothetically speaking.

Listen to your conscience, do it for the country.

That’s why he’s ignoring Schiff.

This fool is not worth damaging your legacy. Of all the things you have done in your life, nothing will come close to the good you can do for the country than testifying.

Nice try, just relax, there’s always 2024. Maybe you guys can vote for Eric Swalwell. Lol

Dead, done, muerte...

But he won't because Dimwit Donnie had to rub it in when he left and called him "a disaster"....

Sure, Bolton the NEOCON will just overlook that...

New headline: Bolton the NEOCON Bombs the White House!

Its not dead, its quite alive as George Kent will be testifying the same next week in public.

I am sure Bolton has been called much worse. Im not a fan, but he isnt so weak he will make up testimony against Trump just for some name calling. But keep hope alive man.

Six feet under...but keep beating it if it makes you sleep at night...

Called worse? By a fellow Republican? Don't think so.

Vindman and Sondland corroborate what he said. He really doesn't need to testify but it would be great if he does just to watch Repubs and Trumpers squirm...

You are slipping badly these days.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a close ally of President Trump who has supported the president's desire to pull U.S. troops out of the Middle East, says national security adviser John Bolton is a "malign influence."

And no one can “corroborate” what Bolton said until Bolton testifies he said it.

Cool....so now the Repubs think Bolton is a disaster and a malign influence. Is he also a traitor, a degenerate, and a dog? Do all the Repubs and Trumpers here agree with that?

And no one can “corroborate” what Bolton said until Bolton testifies he said it.

That's what Nixon said...

2016:

Rand Paul comes out against John Bolton as potential secretary of state: 'The man is a menace'

“Bolton is a longtime member of the failed Washington elite that Trump vowed to oppose, hell-bent on repeating virtually every foreign policy mistake the US has made in the last 15 years - particularly those Trump promised to avoid as president," Paul wrote.”

im sure liberals agreed with this assessment but now you are pinning all your hopes of getting rid of Trump on his testimony. Good luck.

He’s your supposed savior how. Doesn’t matter how we feel about him. You only like him for the amount of time he might spend bad mouthing Trump.

Cool....so now the Repubs think Bolton is a disaster and a malign influence.

To the moderates, he is, to the hawks, no.

Is he also a traitor, a degenerate, and a dog? Do all the Repubs and Trumpers here agree with that?

What? Oh...lol

That's what Nixon said...

Like Clinton said, that depends on what your definition of “is” is.

So, how many Trumpers here agree with that?

He’s your supposed savior how. Doesn’t matter how we feel about him. You only like him for the amount of time he might spend bad mouthing Trump.

He ain't my savior - he's a NEOCON - can't stand them, getting us into all those Middle East wars, right?

Cool....so now the Repubs think Bolton is a disaster and a malign influence.

To the moderates, he is, to the hawks, no.

Trump is a moderate? He called him a disaster. Paul is a moderate? He called him a malign influence and a menace - see above. I thought these two were Repubs?

Is he also a traitor, a degenerate, and a dog? Do all the Repubs and Trumpers here agree with that?

What? Oh...lol

Dodge #1. Is he?

That's what Nixon said...

Like Clinton said, that depends on what your definition of “is” is.

Wholeheartedly agree - Clinton was a lair - just like Trump - and both perverts...

But you will conveniently put that dislike aside and fete him as a hero if he testifies that Rudy is a "hand grenade". why? (by the way, a hand grenade is pretty useful if you are trying to destroy enemies)

He ain't my savior - he's a NEOCON - can't stand them,

No, the man hates Democrats more than he hates a lot of the socialists European leaders

Which "socialist" leaders, in particular are you referring to?

He ain't my savior - he's a NEOCON - can't stand them,

But you will conveniently put that dislike aside and fete him as a hero if he testifies that Rudy is a "hand grenade". why?

What of "can't stand them" don't you understand? Don't like Bolton - never had. You seem to agree with me since you posted comments saying he was a malign influence and a menace.

(by the way, a hand grenade is pretty useful if you are trying to destroy enemies)

Agree - have thrown and launched quite a few in my 27 year military career - mostly with the M-203. Given the way the impeachment hearings are going, Rudy must think Trump is his real enemy...it's called "fragging"...

Oops! Another of your heroes didn’t tell the truth. Said she didn’t reply to Schiff staffer but she did. By personal email.

“Yovanovitch communicated with Dem staffer on 'delicate' issue after complaint, emails show, despite denial”

next week public testimony will be cancelled? Schedule conflict?
