John Bolton as a witness

MSNBC now debating if the Dems should count on anything that Bolton, a heavy conservative player, will say at a Senate trial.

Let's see. He wants to make money on a book. He thinks he has something that people are interested in hearing. So, why would he come short of telling us everything at a Senate hearing? If he has information that can implicate Trump and he holds back at the hearing, everyone will be pissed off if he uses his book to reveal the facts he withheld.

He would be walking a very thin line.

Bolton is posturing just as much as he did with the House,

Yeah, I'll gladly testify if subpoena'd.

He knew that if the House subpoenaed him, he'll fight it in court and hold it up for who knows how long,

He knows the chances of McConnell calling him as a witness isn't going to happen. McConnell will never let the House Managers cross exam him.

It's what it's always been.

Even if he damns the entire Syndicate to hell, assume there is a wider agenda and half of what he says is false.
None of them are capable of truth. None.
