Not really. I wouldn't believe a word that Bolton has to say. I have disliked that man from the Bush Jr days. He's nothing but a frustrated warmonger. Back when Bush appointed him as UN Secretary and Congress refused to ratify that appointment, he's been a man on a mission to start world war 3. The further that man can be put away from the halls of power, the better for Americans and the world. He's just mad at Trump because he wanted Trump to ramp up the war in Syria and to start a war with Iran. He was so vitriolic and warlike, Trump got rid of him. Now, Bolton is sour grapes...and he's trying to sell his book to make money.
Here's the reality. The Senate's job is not to make the case for the House. The House's job is to investigate, present impeachment charges, and then make their case to the Senate. The Senate's job is to adjudicate. The House called 17 witnesses during their inquiry and the Democrats were allowed to call anyone they wanted, but the Republicans were only allowed to call witnesses that Schiff approved of. It was a biased process. Now, after 17 witnesses, the House Managers claim not enough witnesses were called? Well, why didn't they take more time in the House to fully make there case, instead of doing a shoddy rush job full of fake urgency, only for Pelosi to then delay presentation of the charges for weeks demonstrating the lie of the urgency? Now, their case is shaky at best and the charges are garbage from Day 1. The House has had there chance to malign this President and they've done a bad job of the charade. It's time to bring the circus to a close, so the American people can have our leaders doing real work, like fighting the coronavirus, legislating on health care, and dealing with expensive college education, the opioid crisis, and pushing back on Chinese Communism.
The endless circus that is Congress is a waste of everyone's time and money. |
