WASHINGTON—President Trump’s lawyers tried to cast doubts on the importance and credibility of allegations by former national security adviser John Bolton about the president’s motives for freezing aid to Ukraine, as they concluded their efforts to counter Democrats’ charges that Mr. Trump abused power and obstructed Congress.

Months and months and months of “impeachment”, while Rat Senators campaign for POTUS.
Sure, sure, Rat senators can’t campaign while “impeachment” is in progress.
Am not going to buy “But they CAN’T!”
Reminds me of “Speaker” Boehner rushing to take “impeachment off the table” every time the Fraud committed a crime.
Btw, Senators...don't plan on doing much campaigning.
Let's see who blinks. Even if they don't prepare for some serious, possibly fatal Biden damage.
Still a win-win because there are not votes to remove POTUS anyway.
I think the Democrats are bluffing about witnesses and mitch is calling them on it.
Why are you blaming Mitch
Ecause this should have been dismissed. There was absolutely nothing there. After the left got distroyed, there’s still nothing! Even if he did all they accuse him of, there’s still no crime committed. Bitch McConnell needs to be primaried and since he’ll be tied up for a few months, now is the time to challenge him.
What I am leery of is something popping that will give mush for brains Senators the grounds to convict.
Let’s not forget, we got here without a crime.
I don’t think it’s out of the question to convict without one.
While I’d like to think they couldn’t get to the 2/3rds threshold, I would not be the nation on it.
These people have money trails
“Btw, Senators...don’t plan on doing much campaigning.”
Really?
Who’s going to stop them?
How many votes were changed in 2016?
That post is referring to Bloomass, Mayor Beauty-Judge, and the Witch.
Oh, stop worrying. The R’s have the Senate, and Mitch sure did tell Pelousy that she doesn’t control it.
Remember?
Keeping with your normal character.
Allow me. If the senate won't protect it's own institution from invasion by a derelict House, how much less does it care about the public - other than to fleece us?
Senators are terrible people. I did like the phrase sunshine pumpers by the way.
The whole way we got ourselves on to the Trump train was by realizing the uniparty was using the whole red team blue team crap, wedge issue here wedge issue there - kickback here, sell out there. Playing us for suckers, killing our people in maintenance wars never meant to be won - feeding us a scripted dance, the surge propels McCain to the nomination which he now its pretty obvious he was trying as hard to lose as possible so that we ended up with Obama presiding over the taking America down a peg before the insanity that would have been the HRC presidency.
These people haven't changed, in the Senate most are still there.
Well, who got their way when it comes to witnesses?
Is Mitch sure Nancy doesn’t run the Senate?
None of them cared to stop Mueller. What makes anyone think that they care to stop impeachment. Trump is the outsider that shows all the hacks, of both parties, what can be done - what they could not do in their lifetime living off the citizenry.
The republican leadership has relinquished control of the senate phase of the process to schumer. He will make a circus out of this by doing what they did to Kavanaugh.
If anybody thinks this is the last "bombshell" to come out, they are delusional. The dims are going to keep throwing sh!t until something sticks.

The Pubs want it. It is not a matter of not caring.
Yes. The WH will do that just to protect the institution of the WH, has nothing to do with Trump.
If this were the actions of a Senate committee/subcommittee wanting testimony from administration members then yes, Trump asserting executive privilege is proper. But this is a trial venue and not a legislative one with Senators as Jurors and not legislators. It's possible that executive privilege doesn't apply here and any attempt to assert it could earn the President a contempt of court citation from the presiding Chief Justice.
If you go to the Trump rally thread, you don’t have to put up with all the gloom and doomers here.
I have never seen so many knee jerkers who fall for MSM wishful reporting. We are still two or three days away from any votes. I still doubt that we will see any witnesses. And if we do, it’s not going to hurt Trump.
Trump is very upbeat tonight. He is not worried about anything. Folks here should follow his lead.
I’m watching it. It’s really good. He is awesome!
