The Bolton Bombshell (from his book)

[Faun]

That's not true. Article 2 of the impeachment says this:
(1) Directing the White House to defy a lawful subpoena by withholding the production of documents sought therein by the Committees.

(2) Directing other Executive Branch agencies and offices to defy lawful subpoenas and withhold the production of documents and records from the Committees — in response to which the Department of State, Office of Management and Budget, Department of Energy, and Department of Defense refused to produce a single document or record.

(3) Directing current and former Executive Branch officials not to cooperate with the Committees — in response to which nine Administration officials defied subpoenas for testimony, namely John Michael “Mick” Mulvaney, Robert B. Blair, John A. Eisenberg, Michael Ellis, Preston Wells Griffith, Russell T. Vought, Michael Duffey, Brian McCormack, and T. Ulrich Brechbuhl.

Wow, I notice Bolten isn't on that list, but you also need to check the facts and stop relying on commie lies. But let's assume that is correct, why didn't the commies go to court to enforce their subpoenas? They are the ones that tried to shortcut the system. Now they're asking the senate to do the job the chose not to do.

.

Since when does Congress have to go to court to enforce a subpoena? Court is an option, but it's not their only option.

Yep, the other option is to hold the person in contempt, we've seen how effective that is.

.

And another option, when it involves the president, VP, or civil officer -- is impeachment.

Define "civil officer".

.

Irrelevant, we're talking about the president.

There was more than enough testimony in front of the House to indict Trump. Republicans have a higher standard of proof than normal people so we really are going to have to slap them in the face with it.

There was more than enough testimony before the House to tell us that Biden wasn't doing anything wrong. You don't seem interested in acknowledging that.

Yeah right, baby biden got the job two days after Devon Archer met with poppa joe at the WH. Shoken was fired shortly after Devon Archer met with Kerry at the State Dept. Burisma bought access to the maobama regime, it's just that simple. Also it's been proven that 4 other close relatives of poppa joe made millions while poppa joe was VP. The bidens are drity as hell.

.

Idiot, we had been trying to get Shokin out for six months before he was finally sacked. Others had been trying even longer. Shokin wasn't pursuing Zelensky but Shokin's replacement did. Getting Shokin out had nothing to do Archer, Kerry or Hunter Biden.

Then why wasn't the ultimatum given much earlier, the loan guarantees were authorize more than a year earlier. BTW why would Shokin be investigating Zelensky?

.

Because the funds were not yet appropriated back then. Also, Poroshenko has said he would get rid of Shokin so there was no need to play hardball. But then 6 months later, funds were appropriated and Poroshenko had still not gotten rid of Shokin.

You didn't answer my question, why?

.

Of course I answered, dumbfuck. There was no need to play hardball until it became apparent Poroshenko was not going to force Shokin out.

By the way, Biden threatened to hold up the billion after the IMF threatened to hold up 40 billion.

Shokin resigned in February, 2016, days after the IMF said they would not release 40 billion. A month before Biden threatened to not release a billion dollars.

There is no tenant in the UN charter that prevents us from creating conditions to our monetary aid.

A lawyer at Burisma might have gotten a meeting with someone you've never heard of before. I'd be more worried if they actually affected policy. Which they didn't.

LMAO, they got the prosecutor in Ukraine fired not too long after he raided the home of the Burisma owner. I'd say they affected policy. And meetings with the VP and Sec of State are almost as high as you can go in our government. Burisma spent their money well.

.

That "raid" first occurred more than a year earlier. If that was the catalyst to get Biden to force out thd Prosecutor General, then why didn't Biden do that when the Ukrainian government first seized Zelensky's assets??

Why don't you figure out which "Z" names you wish to discuss and get back to me. Zelensky wasn't even in the picture at that time, you do know he assumed the office of Ukraine's president in May 2019, right? I'm beginning to think you're too senile to even bother with. LMAO

.

Sorry, meant Zlochevsky....

That "raid" first occurred more than a year earlier. If that was the catalyst to get Biden to force out thd Prosecutor General, then why didn't Biden do that when the Ukrainian government first seized Zlochevsky's assets??

The only seizure, that I'm aware of, was done by England. And they just froze the funds.

.

Thanks for admitting you're unaware.

In 2010, Bolton Defended Practice Of Officials Lying About Foreign Policy

In 2010 Fox Interview, John Bolton Confessed He Would ‘Absolutely’ Lie About National Security Matters
Fired former White House National Security Adviser John Bolton admitted in a 2010 interview on Fox Business Channel that he would "absolutely" lie to the public and knowingly spread false information if he believed it necessary.
=--=-=-=
bwahahahahahahahaha

but he's not lying THIS TIME. (cause you like what he's saying).

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Are you saying that because it’s true or are you saying that because you want it to be true?

Who are all these people who thought he was a good prosecutor?

He was considered good enough to be a top notch prosecutor in Ukraine. Good enough to dig into the business of Burisma and Biden until Middle Class Joe killed the investigation with a massive quid pro quo.

Who made Joe Biden the Inspector General of Ukraine?

 

[Rye Catcher]

Chaos defines the first three years of the Trump Administration, it has now infected the members of the Trump's Lawyers, from Rudy to the current crop of lawyers now putting all watchers to sleep.

In wake of Bolton book news, White House allies say Trump lawyers bungled defense


Reports that John Bolton has written a firsthand account of the president’s direct involvement in withholding aid to Ukraine has left some Republicans confused and angry over the legal strategy by the president’s defense team — which has devoted much of its arguments in the Senate impeachment trial to arguing that no such firsthand evidence existed.

One Republican operative who advises the White House said he was “flabbergasted at how stupidly they have handled this.”

Trump attorney Mike Purpura argued Saturday that “not a single witness testified that the president himself said that there was any connection between any investigations and security assistance, a presidential meeting or anything else.”

Oh great.. Michael Isakoff... Cough cough...

This reminds me of one of the ORIGINAL "Golden Oldie" fake news stories... The one about the new WH staff being SO DUMB, they were meeting in dark rooms because they couldn't find the light switch....

That's when I knew the "mainstream media" had caught the derangement pandemic...

What evidence do you have to substantiate your claim on "fake news".

My judgment on real fake news is a term used by trump to simplify for the simple what in reality is propaganda. And well stated Propaganda can be mostly true, or a half-truth or a damn lie.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

Ive seen enough to know that it’s shoddy yellow journalism.

You've seen enough to realize you don't like what is being uncovered. You're just another leftist hypocrite.

The author makes the worst stretches and assumptions and calls it “proof”.

1,126 annotated documented endnotes backed by 83 pages of source material. You are truly filled with bullshit!

Enough people here have bought it hook line and sinker without ever knowing what the evidence actually is.

Hilariously hypocritical considering you hate and smear the book without any apparent knowledge of it at all.
You are shown to be a liar and a know nothing punk!

It doesn’t matter how many footnotes he has if they don’t actually back it up what he’s saying.

Schweitzer claimed that Burisma was culpable for $1.8 billion that was unaccounted for. That money was on PrivatBank. Schweitzer tries to tell us that Burisma is responsible because one of Burisma’s subsidiaries has an office in the same building as PrivatBank. That’s the kind of bullshit journalism that we should expect from this tool.

Now why not back up your little anecdotal tale with some facts?

 

[protectionist]

What??????

Shoulda read the testimony. The idea to fire Shokin didn’t come from Biden. It pulls out the lynchpin from the accusation.

No it doesn't.....only to a partisan hack would it

The accusation is that Biden got Shokin fired to help
Hunter.

If Biden wasn’t the one who came up with the idea to fire Shokin, it destroys the accusation.

What "if"?
Biden claimed he was the one. Case closed.

He wasn’t. Doesn’t matter what he claimed.

He was, just as he said. Are you calling a Democrat presidential candidate a liar ?

 

[protectionist]

Oh it's still a part of the story. But the concern about Shokin's corruption came from the bottom up. The embassy staff in Ukraine had been getting fed up with Shokin's corruption and brought their concern to Biden and recommended that he be removed. Biden agreed and helped

And you know this how?

No one in the State Dept says that they were pressured by Burisma or Joe Biden to get Shokin fired.

The State Department did not issue an ultimatum to Ukraine officials....Joe Biden did.

Solomon: These once-secret memos cast doubt on Joe Biden's Ukraine story

Joe Biden issued the ultimatum at the recommendation of the State Dept.

Which implicates Obama and Hillary in addition to Biden. You want testimony ? How about the Durham report ?

It implicated Obama in what? They were trying to protect Hunter? Sure buddy. More stretching.

There is no Durham report. Not yet.

In extortion of Ukraine.

 

[protectionist]

That's what Democrats are doing.

How?

All their scams. Kavanaugh, Russia collusion, Ukraine, + their usual election cheating (illegal aliens, vote miscounting, attacking Trump supporters, debate cheating, etc etc

Ukraine isn't a scam. It's oversight.

Scam. Nobody gets a pass. Candidate or not.

Does the president get a pass? Seems like he’s getting a pass.

Presidents don't need a pass to investigate corruption of countries getting US aid. It's what their job is.

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

"Joe Biden issued the ultimatum at the recommendation of the State Dept."
So the State Department is now in charge of foreign aid and can turn the money spigot off and on with a snap of their
greasy fingers? Does Congress know that their control of these funds is now the purview of the State Department?

Was he investigating other countries or was he investigating US politicians? Seems like he was the latter.

We extorted Ukraine to get them to stop wasting taxpayer dollars. Put him in cuffs.

[Eric Arthur Blair]

No. The part about Burisma linked to Privat Bank because they were in the same building.
Did Schweitzer say that? Or are you making crap up? It's you trying to put words in Schweitzer's mouth, isn't it?

That's your claim. Once again you are making a statement of fact, presumably, but you are unable to confirm those facts.
Some people call that cowardly lying.
