I mean, they’re effectively admitting he did it with their “the president can do whatever he wants” defense. It’s pure theater.

I’m beginning to think this is the case, primarily because all I hear the media talking about is 4 votes. Earlier though I swear I heard reports that he would be put in the role of breaking a tie. I think you guys can back me up on that.
Yeah. So technically his options are vote yes, vote no, don’t vote. Two of his options though amount to the same thing. That doesn’t seem right. Meantime, I think the media needs to drill down on Republicans not wanting their man Roberts voting while Democrats largely do.
The biggest effect of this is going to be Mittens, Collins, etc. lying to resistance grifter Kyle Griffin that they’re considering allowing witnesses. Griffin uncritically tweets out their lies. Smacc and kre8ive post griffins tweets here. We jerk each other off about how smart we are.
so as soon as the senate votes to exclude witnesses, Bolton goes on all the TV news shows to pimp his book, right?

He doesn’t even need to make threats. They all know that if they cross Daddy they’ll get primaried.

Not really. See story above. But somehow, I think he would get his point across. Meantime, I think today I’d ask Dershowitz “Since President Trump believes his re-election would be in the public interest and that legitimizes quid pro quo’s and the like, would it be okay for Trump to station thugs at key voter precincts to intimidate democratic voters into staying home?”

So as this is probably the night before the Vote, what BIG Bombshell will drop?
- I’m out of ideas tbh.
I’ve been playing a recording of Nixon on senators voice mails. Quite a few of the mailboxes are full…
Tweeted at Simon and shuster and Bolton.

It seems pretty convenient that the number of supposedly moderate republican senators that might consider voting for witnesses is exactly equal to the number that would be needed.
It’s almost as if the media is trying to manufacture some nail-biting drama even the outcome of this trial has been obvious for months. Perish the thought!

He has the power of a god and is a compulsive bully. There’s no way he hasn’t been making subtle and explicit threats far more catastrophic and personal than being primaried.
I’m not saying there isn’t a little of that, but mostly disagree.
We challenged each other ITT and came to the same conclusion that these are the most likely people to break ranks.

Surely if quid pro quos are okay, then disparaging a juror must be okay too. Would this be permitted in a real trial? First move today by House prosecutors should be to ask Roberts to hold Dershowitz in contempt.
