Bolton Willing To Testify In Trump Impeachment Trial If Subpoenaed | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
He got his Iran conflict escalation, he don’t need the orange clown anymore!
@Deborah Freedman I’m pretty sure Poland would have said they were at war in WWII, even when they were not invading or fighting in other countries
Exactly.
@Alice Oke Alice Democrats support LGBTQ and everyone knows it.😆
@deamonomic – Ah also a good thought , both yours and fumanchu’s comments are an interesting idea…
Why doesn’t he testify in the House now, instead of in the trial?
VladI Why should he ?
@justsayingwrong the house has ongoing investigations and even prior to this the house has stated they have not ruled out further articles of impeachment.. the articles of impeachment have not been transmitted to the senate… this is still 100% under Pelosi’s control.
Gary Mellow EXACTLY
How sad, we’re at a point in social evolution where we have to go to court to determine what is morally right and wrong. To say nothing of following the written law.
Google is hiding Trump Supporters Posts!~!!! Google is the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!
@snoop alert Fortunately, snoop, we can all take great comfort from the fact that the responsibility for figuring out what crimes he committed, or even finding him guilty, does not rest upon your shoulders.
@greg hill where are Greg does k a prosecutor’s job so if they sent a bunch of crap the trial who is that on little Adam schitt,
Sarah Petty They aren’t hiding anybodies posts you dumb braud.
Trump: _”John Bolton is a Never-Trumper, I never liked John Bolton, I’ll tell you, he has, there are a lot of problems, with John Bolton, lot of problems, but I don’t really know John Bolton.”_
That funny and sadly true 👍😥
But u trust comrad bone spurs give your head a shake
It’s sound like a man I know well, or do I
His book must be ready to be released soon.
Another serpent book of fiction and fabricated llies.. Sure youll have enough time to read it before brimstone?
If his testimony aid in removing that Fool and the FOOL’S Fools, then I will be first in line to buy his book.
Bolton will release his book probably on the day he testifies…. Gotta make that money…. Trump Jail 2020!!!!
@desglacons..Read my comment again. Slowly.
Then tell my exactly what you disagree with, and why.
Or, just reply with more meaningless ad hominem to indicate you agree with all my points.
hugh jorgan Get a new paradigm from your cult, that has caused you to be brain dead.
hugh jorgan Keep hating yourself and mimicking phrases others repeat to you over and over again. You could do a comedy tour.
@desglacons..Thanks for confirming you agree with all the facts I provided in my original comment.
If you want to further confirm you agree with everything I said (and are incapable of effective discourse) just reply with more insults or ad hominem.
hugh jorgan Yawn! LOL! You have no ability to reason. Are you physically disabled,btw, and living off of law suit money?
You say the same things over and over. You have said these same things to me about 20 times before.
I will pray for your disability.
Let him testify, what are the republicans afraid of ? Here is another scary possibility, we all know how Bolton is a war hawk so what if he made a deal with Trump that if Trump attacks Iran (Soleimani) he will testify favorably for him. I guess we will have to wait and see how this all plays out.
@Jordan Goodman is that your son? or you
Great Point….Trump & Bolton ! Quid Pro Quo…..How Ironic…
*Republican Fools* *!!!!*
*John Bolton* is a *Patriot* first and a *Republican* after that.
Maybe …….
Remember when he said that having Guiliani around was akin to having a live hand grenade in the room. *Mr Bolton* left the Trump Administration not because he Loved and Promised his Loyalty to the *Wannabe Dictator Trump* Which is why Trump got rid of James Comey. Another Patriot. I believe Bolton didn’t want to bash the Prez. Chump up early on but he knows he is needed to give the unknown testimony that is needed to get “The Donald” out of
“The Office”……………. and thus “Making America Great Again”
God Bless America.
PS. The US should take Trump and parachute him right in the middle of Tehran Square. 🤨 Let the kind Iranians deal with him. Prevent another War. 👍
@Jordan Goodman Yes he is my impeached president, but I hope he won’t win reelection. crying is something the Republicans do. I am constantly amazed at how they are still whining about Obama and Hillary. And geez Hillary did not even win. But they are still so butt hurt, that you can’t get through any political thread without their names being invoked..
He better be careful Trump may send a drone after him.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or a noose like Epsteins
@AlexYounger trump university graduate
Now that Bolton is going to get the war he’s always wanted, he wants to testify?! Bolton, just a typical republikkkan! A War Monger!
Who cares..? Just so long as he testifies and we get rid of Trump, everything is fine.
@Tessmage Tessera Republikkkans are not going to kick Trump out! They’re corrupt cowards! Racist won’t hold other racist accountable!
The House is still holding Investigations they should subpoena him again – and bring more Articles – bring them all!!
The house of serpents are domestic terroris5s that are not even human proving the armed forces are nothing but a staged farce.
@Bob Neil Even if that’s true, it doesn’t matter, bc they have ALL the evidence they need to not only Impeach, but Remove the Putin asset from office.
@Jordan Goodman Impeached Traitor Trump Troll – YOU support the corruption, the emoluments violations, the sniveling submission to Putin, the mass 70,000++ abduction and terrorizing of children and babies, teargassing of unarmed families with children across an International border, allowing Russia, North Korea & China to gain tremendous strength, allowing China to money launder money to No. Korea thru 4 Chinese banks in New York, stealing of the 2016 Election, the attempted stealing of the 2020 Election, Helsinki, the Russian Foreign Minister standing over the president behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office as Donnie sat like a schoolboy in front of him, Russian money laundering, stock market manipulation & grotesque Corporate Tax Cuts, STEALING from his Charity for Kids & Vets, Removal from the Paris Climate agreement, trying to destroy NATO, many secret & 100% private Putin meetings, Brett “I like Beer” Kavascum, disrespected the disabled & gold star families, deporting families of soldiers, deported soldiers that were deployed and fought, given away code word level Intel, the gross immaturity, the hate, racism & white supremacy mongering, swamp culture of corrupt Cabinet, 5 time Draft Dodger, 6 time Bankruptcy king who spends other peoples money and does not pay back his debt, and a long list more!
– Impeached Traitor Trump’s Treasonous Corruption and Psychosis will be reviled throughout history for many, many centuries to come. Throughout time All will know that their sniveling “Chosen One” was nothing, but a 2 bit hustler who conned all the “christian racists and morons” and actively, willfully and with malice of forethought tried to destroy the United States of America.
@Jordan Goodman MAGA = Fascism, and I know you don’t have any idea what that word means, so this will help you: WIKI: Fascism is a form of far-right, authoritarian ultra-nationalism characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition, and strong regimentation of society and of the economy which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe. The first fascist movements emerged in Italy during World War I, before spreading to other European countries. Opposed to liberalism, marxism, and anarchism – fascism is placed on the far-right within the traditional left–right spectrum.
Webster’s: Fascism is a political philosophy, movement, or regime (such as that of the Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition.
@Robert Franz She is not propping up the Traitor Trump, try not to get swayed by the Ru-publicans propaganda.They decided to go ahead with Impeachment rather than waiting while the traitors dragged out the court battles endlessly, so that they can hopefully take the Senate & the Presidency in November. It was a very smart move.
Why does he need a subpoena? Just do the right thing dufous.
@Glyn Lewis No, you were correct.
Testimony is given voluntarily all the time.
Subpoenas are only issued for hostile witnesses, and people who need legal cover.
@Squat Little Witch All witnesses DO NOT have to be subpoenaed.
Robert Franz 👍
Glyn Lewis Either way, you’re first question made a good point. 👍
Have the House subpoena him and submit his testimony as further evidence.
@elusive wild dingo still stupid you are.
TDS = I have no arguments
Dingo, we all know you’re the weakest link.
@elusive wild dingo Paul Manafort, Rick Gates, Michael Cohen, Michael Flynn… the list goes on.. all involved in Trumps campaign.. all found guilty of serious crimes.
Absolutely no one should buy this guy’s book if he doesn’t testify. Why should we make him rich if he refuses to conduct his responsibility as a citizen.
fendermaestro NEWS FLASH! GOOGLE IS THE ENEMY OF AMERICA!
@Boomtek Mamma Fine.
If he gives out all the info, why will we buy a book then? Logic has gone for a walk……
@Sarah Petty Trump and his supporters are the enemy. #FuckAttaHere
Thomas Jackson I respectfully disagree. Books written by American Leaders are read All over the world. Believe me. If the entire Trump base buys his book, it won’t make a dent compared to every single person all over the world who choose not to buy it.
Bolton speaks out
Trump: I don’t know this Man.
Bolton is serpent homosexual, not a man, hes a traitor like you
“Bol ton…..Bolt on…..what’s his name again? Bolton? And you say I’ve met the guy?”
@Al C
Yeah, remember when you were licking his pubes for that cube of heroin
@Boomtek Mamma No, but you sound well versed in that sorta thing. Don’t need heroin for motivation I bet🤣
It dont matter what happens to me, flyboy, the Creator of universes has the entire dark realm set up bigtime buried in their evil and lies
We need to remove Trump. Completely unhinged, and endangerment to all.
@Jordan Goodman look the Russian again.
Jordan Goodman You are diseased and an enemy of the USA.
@Jason Ball. He’s Stark raving mad!! US will not survive if he’s back for 2020. Maybe what Bolten wants to confirm Trump poor mental health Lol
@Jordan Goodman <<-- Unworthy of citizenship.
If they don’t call him to testify Bolton should give a press conference and tell us anyway.
he should
A press conference is not enough. There is no reason they should not subpoena and have Bolton testify. End of story.
Can’t make money that way.
All of a sudden after he is able to get his WAR now he is willing to testify¿
Edward Mears Bolton might have made a deal with Trump that if Trump starts a war with Iran he will testify favorably for him.
💯
Bone spurs won’t like this, incoming whining.
No. Here comes World War 3.
Trump will claim he didnt know him
@Sarah Petty “Google is hiding Trump Supporters Posts!~!!! Google is the ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE!” said no intelligent person EVER!
@Ian G he won’t testify. He only says he will because the Republican senate will NEVER ask him to spill all he knows. It’s like inviting your hired hit man to testify at your murder trial.
TRUMP ONLY TOLD OVER 14,000 DOCUMENTED LIES SINCE BECOMING PRESIDENT
@Jordan Goodman Bahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
@Geddy Schacher
Actually, judicial Watch just busted the serpent left election fraud scam, us that what youre trying to say?
@Boomtek Mamma Yeah, dude….
That sh*t been going on forever too…
So it’s not surprising…..
One of their many tactics….
Bring on the lawsuits….
@Geddy Schacher
Judicial Watch is the real news
Sounds like the Whistleblower is willing to testify.
Anyone wanna do a Siva Crisis Raid on Heroic?
Wow😂
I hope the militia hackers trace all these serpent kunts and take them out in a whisper
If he is the whistle blower, thank GOD for him!!!
