Speaker Pelosi response to Bolton statement

Link to tweet

Nancy Pelosi ✔ @SpeakerPelosi

The President & Sen. McConnell have run out of excuses. They must allow key witnesses to testify, and produce the documents Trump has blocked, so Americans can see the facts for themselves.

The Senate cannot be complicit in the President's cover-up. #DefendOurDemocracy

testify only because the House would then do what they have to do to get the ball rolling on the trial, which is what iq45 supposedly wants? Maybe he's in cahoots with McConnell?

A subpoena from House Intel might be in order to find out why Bolton referred to the Ukraine caper as a "drug deal".

That he is willing to testify right when he finally gets his war with Iran.

If thats not clear.. I believe that he would make a deal with Trump, in which he would lie to congress and do his best to clear Trump, in exchange for Trump finally starting the war that Bolton wants.

He needs to testify before the House. We know the Senate majority is completely corrupt.

before it's too late, to attempt to win a second Republican presidential term?

Have they (and/or Putin) decided it is time to throw their defective, malfunctioning useful idiot under the bus?
