(Article below will update)
WASHINGTONPresident Trumps lawyers tried to cast doubts on the importance and credibility of allegations by former national security adviser John Bolton about the presidents motives for freezing aid to Ukraine, as they concluded their efforts to counter Democrats charges that Mr. Trump abused power and obstructed Congress.

40 hour trial swayed not a single vote. Not surprised. New York Times carried more weight.
That McConnell let it get this far is an outrage, but you know the score
Witness questions will be written by senators and submitted to Judge Roberts. Roberts will do the questions. No opposite ortunity for follow up questions. Will be very very boring.
Yours is the second reductio ad absurdum argument to justify McConnell's repeated failure to defend the President against, in the present situation, the four RINO snakes, Collins, Murkowski, the Mormon Quisling Pierre Delecto, and the other non-entity. No, the gutless McConnell need not resort to such weak measures as you suggest. By definition, the four RINOs are sock puppets who, again by definition, are compromised denizens of the Swamp and hence always in fear of exposure by their Swamp keepers. All that leader McConnell need do in any such instance is up the ante of fear among the sock puppets and their scum sucking handlers. Anyone who doesn't see this blatant axiom of life in the swamp needs to try - try really hard - imagining LBJ, during his tenure as Majority Leader, allowing a few Democrat Senators to spit in his face, in ANY such contest. He would have slit their throats, in a manner of speaking of course. McConnell has NO balls. Totally pathetic.
Why didnt Lindsey Graham just promise them hell have hearings on Bolton in the future?
Its good enough to shovel that to Republicans, but not the Dems?
.
Not necessarily a bad thing.
With lying little Schiff speaking, and a bunch of other conniving deceitful witnesses, they’ll expose themselves.
That isnt good. What good will it do for us to re-elect Trump and lose the House and Senate?
Perhaps they'll switch it up a bit and four different RINOS will vote against Trump's witnesses.
Linda never keeps promises he makes.
Once Trump is out of office, NY State will have him arrested.
Most of the blue and purple states will pass laws keeping him off the ballot for being under indictment.
Yep.
Turley predicted they might go for mutual destruction..seemed to think after it is all over GOP has the edge.
Bring it on..let the chips fall where they may..and they should bring up Romneys connection...in a back handed way to Ukraine
Could be...
LoL. Thanks again!
I do believe the phrase you are looking for is - “I told you so”.
It gives me no joy to be right on this. I really wish we all were cheering McConnell as the GOP Senate smashed the coupist plot against POTUS.
Theres no justifiable grounds for impeachment, but here we are anyway acting as if there were.

Correct.
Repubs have given this Impeachment garbage a high level of credibility and legitimacy.
But maybe that’s OK. So when the President is finally acquitted - the idiot democrats cannot claim the Senate didn’t give them a fair trial.
Oh, what am I saying. Of course they will cry and moan. But the truth is - Repubs are doing all they can to give credibility to these bogus Articles.
Is Michael Bloomberg gay? I didnt know.
Gay or straight, hes a flaming @ssh*le.
40 hour trial swayed not a single vote. Not surprised. New York Times carried more weight.

I don’t believe so. More witnesses were always baked in this impeachment cake. McConnell just put off giving us the bad news.
