The Goat Pen

Well, Dershowitz got OJ off, might as well add Trump to list of guilty as fuck clients he got off...

Not sure this woman could follow a kindergarten nursery rhyme..... and to think some actually want this lady to be the leader of the free world. Amazing stupidity.

Here's to making the sleazy hypocritical dems look like fools....slam dunk for the Trump team

Deflection

It’s not a deflection. It’s a series of investigations, campaign ads and debate questions that will blow Biden out of the water if he gets the nomination.

A tip of the hat to 10ac for putting this on PNN:

Amazing how one can lie to the Senate under oath and get by with it.....

Because he doesn't?

Yeah, right. He's already on record stating that his 'staff' has been in contact with the whistleblower. Now do you really think his staff has kept that info from him? Are you silly enough to believe they said, "Hey, let's not tell Adam his name." You some special kind of stupid if you believe that.

A string of newly resurfaced video clips of former national security adviser John Bolton spurred President Trump and his supporters Wednesday to highlight what they described as serious credibility questions -- raised by both Democrats and Republicans -- amid the Senate impeachment trial, as the president tweeted, "GAME OVER!"

Trump linked to an interview of Bolton in August 2019 concerning Ukraine policy. In the Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty interview clip, Bolton made no mention of any illicit quid pro quo, and acknowledged, as Republicans have claimed, that combating "corruption" in Ukraine was a "high priority" for the Trump administration.

Bolton also called Trump's communications with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky "warm and cordial," without mentioning any misconduct. It seemingly contradicted reported assertions in Bolton's forthcoming book that Trump explicitly told him he wanted to tie military aid to Ukraine to an investigation of Joe Biden. (Zelensky has said his communications with Trump involved no pressure for any investigation.)

Separately, Fox News has identified clips of Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., now the lead House impeachment manager, in which he says Bolton had a distinct "lack of credibility" and was prone to "conspiracy theories." This week, Schiff said Bolton needed to testify in the trial as an important and believable witness.

"This is someone who's likely to exaggerate the dangerous impulses of the president toward belligerence, his proclivity to act without thinking, and his love of conspiracy theories," Schiff told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on March 22, 2018, when Trump named Bolton national security adviser.

"And I'll, you know, just add one data point to what you were talking about earlier, John Bolton once suggested on Fox News that the Russian hack of the DNC [Democratic National Committee] was a false flag operation that had been conducted by the Obama administration," he said. "So, you add that kind of thinking to [former U.S. attorney] Joe diGenova and you have another big dose of unreality in the White House."


.............Bolton himself had admitted in the past that he would be more than willing to lie if he felt it was in the nation's interest.

“If I had to say something I knew was false to protect American national security, I would do it," Bolton said in an interview with Fox Business in 2010.

More Biden blunders..... can't imagine this old geezer trying to negotiate deals with foreign leaders. Trump would destroy him in a debate.

Trump would destroy him in a debate? Too funny. He can't even tie his shoes

Dershowitz's arguments of "executive impunity" are a joke. Sekulow threatens the chamber with "months of called witnesses - a circus". The bold faced lies about the dems shutting out Trump, his counsel, and GOP supporters in the House hearings.

All of that will fade away. What will stick - for eternity - is the sham of denying witnesses and key documents. McConnell's very public boast of "coordinating with the WH" will be the preamble - the witness vote and hurried acquittal will be the payoff.

Seventy-five percent of Americans wanted witnesses. Whatever tortured reasoning republicans put forth for the denial will also fade away. "Sham" and "trial" will forever be linked in the tellings of this sad chapter in American history.

I'm at a point where I really question Biden's ability to process.

Not that he's an idiot, I really think the guy has some form of dementia.

and I think there are alot of people in positions of power in the democratic party that think the same thing.

also I can't understand how anyone in the democratic party is embracing Bloomberg. Isn't the democratic party against old white billionaires buying elections? Like isn't that what got this whole thing started in the first place?

But he is THEIR white billionaire

He is the good fascist for the job!

How do we know Trump is a billionaire?

The acquittal celebration has started a little early.

The media. Are you suggesting it might be "fake news?"

What will stick - for eternity - is the sham of denying witnesses and key documents.

"Sham" and "trial" will forever be linked in the tellings of this sad chapter in American history.

Are you referring to the House impeachment by the Democrats? They did most of their work in secret, refused to allow any pro-Trump witnesses or documents, and silenced most questions by House Republicans. If you are looking for "sham" and "trial," start there. Those of you with terminal cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome can't see the colossal hypocrisy in denying any pro-Trump witnesses in the House hearings, but now demanding that Republicans allow anti-Trump witnesses in the Senate hearings. But normal sane people can.

The House Dem's had their chance to call all the witnesses and documents they wanted to present their case against the President. Now they want the Senate Republicans to call witnesses the House Democrats didn't bother to call (i.e. John Bolton). Sorry. It's not the job of the jury to compile the prosecution's case for it, and it's not the job of the Senate to do the House's job for them.
