So?

And the plot thickens.

According to a leaked (imagine that) draft of John Bolton's upcoming book President Trump wanted to withhold the Ukraine aid until they completed it's investigations into Joe Biden and other democrats.

So?

Three things here.

1) John Bolton who the left has always hated has now become their latest and perhaps their greatest hero of all time was forced out by President Trump has an ax to grind and really, really wants to sell his upcoming book.

2) The aid was released without the information the president sought.

3) The president had every right to investigate the corruption the dirty dems had been up to in Ukraine.

Maybe he wanted to tie the aid to the investigations and maybe he didn't. It doesn't change the fact that Ukraine received the aid they had been promised.

Don't get too worked up by this latest bullshit scheme cooked up by the haters. It's just another Stormy Daniels moment they've been sitting on.

You don't really think the dems haven't had this information all along, do you.

You don't really think it's just a coincidence that this just happened to come out on day one of Trump's defense, do you?

So they want Bolton to testify? Fine.

Then I suspect Joe and Hunter Biden, and the so-called whistle blower will be called as well.

Let's drag this thing out all year and show the American people who those bastards really are.

New York Times: Draft Bolton Book Says Trump Wanted to Withhold Ukraine Aid for Investigations



A draft of a book by former National Security Advisor John Bolton reportedly claims that President Donald Trump wanted to withhold aid to Ukraine until it completed investigations of former Vice President Joe Biden and others, according to the New York Times on Sunday evening.
The Times‘ Maggie Haberman and Michael S. Schmidt reported (original links):
WASHINGTON — President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton.
The president’s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense: that the holdup in aid was separate from Mr. Trump’s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office.
Mr. Bolton’s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, the third in American history, was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates. He also sent a draft to the White House for a standard review process for some current and former administration officials who write books.
It is unclear whether the Times has actually reviewed the manuscript. The report cites “[m]ultiple people” who “described Mr. Bolton’s account of the Ukraine affair.”
Rep. Mark Meadows (R-TX), who serves on the House Oversight and Foreign Affairs Committees, tweeted Sunday evening, apparently in response: “I keep reading in the media about how there must have been some sort of political quid pro quo scheme…And yet, apparently the one group who didn’t know about it were the people supposedly being extorted—the Ukrainians.The facts haven’t changed.”

  2. Exactly.

    For example, I'm fairly certain most of us would like to choke Schiff till his eyes pop. Doesn't mean we'd actually do it...

    1. Yup for Bolton saying it doesn't, make it true, and he should be careful what he prints, it might be classified. And for Trump he should be careful kicking people in the ass when he fires them.

  3. I really don't care one way or the other! This whole impeachment scam has been to do exactly what the Democrats are impeaching Trump about! Using their government position and power to go against their political opponent and affect the elections of both 2016 and 2020! Besides, the President checking out corruption, whether it is a foreign country that we are GIVING aid to or an American who is receiving financial benefits due to the corruption, is not a mis-use of power, it is a requirement of the job to do so!
    For the most part, I have usually agreed with Bolton on his assessments of how to handle foreign policy, but if his path now is to throw the President under the bus because of this, then all bets are off! For years he has been one to consistently want to use armed force to deal with many issues and I think that it may be time to change that thinking. There are too many elite politicians and others making tons of money off of war!

  4. Sorry Kevin, I have to disagree. They've really got his this time. I saw it on TV news and they can't lie, right?

    This is worse than the Russia collusion, and they proved that, right? Oh wait, they didn't.

    Stormy Daniels. They really had him there, didn't they? Oh wait, they didn't.

    All the other prostitutes who sold their stories. They had him then for sure, didn't they? Oh wait. They didn't.

    Emoluments. Boy, they really got him there. Oh wait, they didn't.

    But they impeached him, right? He can't beat that one, right? Oh wait. He has.

    Well, I guess when you really look at it, maybe you are right. This is just one more commie rat bastard phony propaganda fake setup by traitorous seditious America hating commies. They hated Bolton with a passion until now. I didn't even like him that much, I thought the President made a mistake bringing him in. But our President trusted several rat bastards who later turned on him.

    So maybe you are right. Actually, I'm sure you are. One more blank fired by the democrat/commie artillery.

    We elected a guy who promised to blow up this Washington Cartel. And that's what we got. God bless him.

  6. Jim, I'm adding another accomplishment to be proud of, in addition to never watching a Superhero movie and never watching a reality TV show, of never watching a second of this farcical kabuki theatre. I'm just afraid this is going to be the new normal - impeach the President. They're already making noises that if he gets re-elected, they'll try again. To call this whole thing tiresome and boring doesn't begin to scratch the surface of the contempt I hold for the congressional Democrats (the only two of whom MAY take their constitutional duty seriously being Manchin and Jones).

    As you all know, I didn't vote for Trump last time. Nonetheless, this foolishness, combined with pressure from my wife (who isn't even an American) will likely result in corralling my vote next time. I cannot believe even Democrats can be this tone-deaf, but there you have it.

    Bolton ... BAH!!!
