D-oh! Sekulow just stepped in it.

One of Sekulow's positions claims that no one has testified that Trump tied financial aid for assistance with Biden.

Why would he say this when EVERYONE who watches the news today will know that Bolton is ready to testify otherwise?

Bolton's book is just another confirmation. Every witness testified that the hold-up of aid was to force a public comment on a Biden investigation. I just don't get this "bizarro world" nonsense of stating the opposite of what the witnesses said. And its like some posters here believe it when they say it.

But that's only because Sekulow's fucking client has refused to allow testimony from multiple people with first-hand knowledge of Trump's criminality.

He said they do it all the time, when asked about quid pro quo, aid for information. Who expected tRumps lawyers to be competent, since NOBODY else in this administration is? They can expect to be paid, since the taxpayers are paying their salaries, unlike when they work in private practice for tRump.

Suspect we MAY get one or two. They are in a big hurry to vote to acquit. Romney and a handful of others are what this sadly hinges on. Go figure
