CNN's Anderson Cooper speaks with a Washington Post writer about the report that President Trump's lawyers and GOP allies in the Senate are working to ensure that any testimony from former National Security Adviser John Bolton be kept private.
#CNN #News
Trump’s lawyers and Senate allies work to prevent public Bolton testimony, WaPo reports
For a guy that “claims” that he hasn’t done anything wrong, why are they trying to block witnesses?
@Trump 2020 meanwhile we’re still waiting for Mexico to pay for that wall. #3 is a liar liar
@Ryan Medlar Got a hang up on the whistleblower there, have to talk to the Republican’s if you want the whistleblower, they are the ones that outlined that someone like that would have their identity kept secret… though, I doubt they thought it would be used against them… idiots.
SailorSocko liar? Lol
MEXICO PAYING FOR WALL ~
Currently, the U.S. exports about $275 billion worth of goods and services to Mexico and imports $349 billion worth of goods and services from Mexico. After the Trump tax cut, the U.S. is collecting about 17% of GDP in tax revenue…..
NOW, Trumps new U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement, exports WILL grow by $27.5 billion and imports by $35.9 billion. Those increased exports WILL bring the government $4.7 billion in NEW tax revenues, while the increased imports would ADD $2.4 billion…. MEXICANS PAYING FOR THE MAGA WALL #winning
@Rachel Madison Post your source or shut up
@Trump 2020 They are allowed in the senate, they want to make sure they are getting it right, this is an important thing they are doing. Now, Mitch the Kentucky crook would rather just let Trumpo the clown off from his high crimes, that’s why they don’t want to have someone like Bolton speak as a witness. They know that testimony would show to the entire world how much of a criminal Trumpo is. Though, the entire world already knows, it would just show how criminal the senate is when they let him off the hook.
What a disgrace the GOP have become, Scared to have a witness in an impeachment trial of a u.s president
Witnesses should be in Congress not Senate.
The disgrace is that the house did not call their witnesses. They want the Senate to do their job because they would have lost in court. But it’s going to get worse
The democrats nightmare begins.
Here are the 4 legal problems democrats will face against President Trump’s ‘dream team’ of defense lawyers :
1. The Substance Problem — The Articles don’t identify any impeachable offense or even any crime
2 The Process Problem — The Impeachment inquiry was irredeemably flawed
3. The Evidence Problem — House Democrats have no evidence to support their claims
4. The Structure Problem — The Articles are structurally deficient and can only result in acquittal.
** If allowed to proceed beyond outright dismissal and acquittal, any future U.S. president would be subject to an opposition party’s majority whim in the House to impeach for literally any reason it manufactures.
Expect a full ‘acquittal’ very quickly with some Democrats voting with the Republicans.
This will make President Trump 1000 times stronger going into the November election.
MAGA EXONERATED!
What’s the difference between Donald Trump and a rutabaga?
…one’s a disgusting orange Russian plant and the other is a rutabaga
@Troll Troller I love liberals, no argument, just insults!
What a difference between a leftist sheep and Antifa? Not much, they both listen to anything the mainstream media tells them and just spew out “orange man bad” all day and they eat it all up like the sheep they are. Pog
Nancy Pelosi on March 6th
“I’m not for impeachment. This is news. I haven’t said this to any press person before. But since you asked, and I’ve been thinking about this, impeachment is so divisive to the country that unless there’s something so compelling and overwhelming and bipartisan, I don’t think we should go down that path because it divides the country. And he’s just not worth it.”
Nancy is a liar
Frankie Says. BWAHAHA, LOLMFAO…. HAHAHA, I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING….HAHAHA..
First in u.s history an impeachment trial without evidence and witnesses
G C
Lmaoooooo
GOLUBOI
Trump 2020. Complain. Complain. Complain. Constant whining and complaining. Constant blaming and making of excuses. Note to trumps base. ‘Alpha’ males and ‘tough’ or ‘strong’ people absolutely DO NOT complain and complain and complain. That behavior comes from weak minded beta males. It cannot be denied DJT has set an all time record for his whining and complaining. Only the soft weak girly men complain all the time and blame others. Everyone knows this. Only a totally delusional and complete imbecile will deny this. If our favorite athlete were to complain and blame others all the time we would consider him a clown and want the SOB run out of town.
Wake up people. Stop being so submissive to this weak man. Only a truly submissive individual bows down to weak constantly whining men. Get off your submissive knees. Time to stop and stand up.
Are you blind or dumb
This is not a trial but a cover up.
Trump 2020
1. Asking foreign governments to investigate a political opponent to assist him in winning the election
2. You’re damn right it’s flawed, for letting a president get away with so much
3. Multiple witnesses, texts, emails, admissions
4. I don’t think you know what the hell youre even talking about
If I didn’t know any better I’d assume you were Stevie Wonder, blind and deaf, I want you to ask yourself what kind of man would work so hard to block any evidence or witnesses that would exonerate him a guilty one or an innocent one?
Christian Tims trump November 2020 on his way to prison or defect to buddy Putin’s house
Who works this hard to hide facts when they are INNOCENT?!?
bobbybrown1967able This is your daily reminder that, in just three years, President Trump has raised the median household income for middle class families nearly FIVE TIMES as much as Barack Obama & George W. Bush combined over 16 years
Remember when Democrats called the extra money in Americans’ wallets thanks to President Trumps economic policies “scraps” and “crumbs?”
Update: “The median or average-income family has seen a gain of $5,003 since Trump came into office.”
There has never been a better time to be an American.

@Trump 2020 Forrest Trump, 2,020 mental issues….. I’m a supporter of the next president, PRESIDENT SANDERS, BUT I agree t- rump will likely be aquitted. Not for any of the reasons/ excuses you mentioned. The reason will be because our Dem Representatives are passive agressive lazy cowards. That’s why Bernie will be their new boss. Things will change badly for them. Get up and fight along side the fighter we’re sending, or get tossed out for a progressive. that will be bad for you too.

@Trump 2020 this addresses some of what you’re repeating… But it bears pointing out that the abuse of power article includes bribery and extortion.
Trump* asked Ukraine to publicly announce an investigation into his political rival to help Trump* win the 2020 election. Seeking foreign influence in a US election is a violation of the US Constitution.
On top of this, Trump* made meetings, very important to the Ukraine, conditional on the personal political favor. So Trump* was trying to make the Ukraine provide something of value to Trump* personally to get a thing of value from a political office… which is the definition of bribery.
Trump* also withheld congressionally appropriated funds intended to support Ukraine in its hot war with Russia. This act in itself was illegal. But Trump* withheld the desperately needed funds in order to pressure Ukraine into providing Trump*’s requested political favor, making the withholding of funds extortion. All these acts for his personal benefit were done using his powers and office as president making them all abuse of office and abuse of power. Serious charges for a political official.
Then Trump* denied access to all documents, and all witnesses. Instructing his staff and government agencies to ignore legal subpoenas. He continued this absolute obstruction throughout the impeachment inquiry. This is obstruction of Congress.
“Good story”, you say, “but where’s the evidence?”
Despite Trump*’s obstruction, some officials testified anyway, in defiance of the president’s wishes.
17 witnesses, 2 of which were Trump* appointees who Trump* dealt with directly.
The are also emails, texts, and a call memo (not a transcript! The actual call transcript is still languishing on a super secret server somewhere)
Members of OMB quit their jobs to avoid getting caught up in this illegal scheme
Trump administration emails showing Trump* ordered the illegal hold on funds, emails showing government officials, including lawyers with the Pentagon, believed
Trump* was violating the Impoundment Control Act.
G.A.O. Report Says Trump Administration Broke The Law in Withholding Ukraine Aid.
Bolten referred to the Ukrainian effort as “a drug deal”.
Lev parnas has provided testimony and documents highlighting the illegal activities and implicating more of the Trump* administration.
Oh, and Trump* admitted he was asking the Ukrainians to investigate Biden, on national TV. Then invited China to do the same.
And even before all that…
Trump* is an unindicted coconspirator in the case that put his lawyer in prison. Trump* would be in prison with him if he wasn’t protected by his position… which makes Trump* a felon.
And there’s more, but you get the picture.
Where are the Patriots? Where is the allegence to the Constitution and to America? What happened to country before party?
@Gulliver the Gullible EVEN IF he has commited crimes he still belongs in office
Actual tweets from lawyer for “whistleblower”:
“Coup has started” – Jan 2017
“Impeachment will follow” – Jan 2017
“I predict
@CNN
will play a key role…” – July 2017
“We will get rid of him” – July 2017
This criminal
Attorney found his client
Adam Schiff:
He LIED to the American people when he said he had evidence that Trump colluded with Russia
He LIED when he made up a FAKE PHONE CALL, that he said President Trump had with Ukraine
Now he is LYING once again about not meeting with the fake whistle blower
Liar
@Gulliver the Gullible I would strongly disagree that he has been the most efficient president. Record Debt, destroying diplomatic relationships with our current allies, dividing our country through his bullying, threatening, lieing ways.
This is the guy who has run your national debt up to the 23 trillion dollar range, that is a increase of 4 trillion in three years. This debt is going to last for 3 or 4 generations to pay off and if you don’t the debt holders will default you and the dollar will collapse and everyone is broke.
This was not started by the house this was started by Trump making that phone call.
Actually this was started when President Trump found out the crimes committed by Joe Biden and Hunter Biden and wanting that corruption and crimes investigated.
The stable genius doesn’t know that and neither does his supporters cuz they’re dumber than the stable genius.
Well said
No, it was the house, don’t be stupid and don’t expect any witnesses they’ll just vote this whole waste of time down and you idiots (Democrats) will have wasted all this time and money for absolutely nothing, to think this is a REAL impeachment is laughable..like guys identifying as gals 😂 get real morons
If trumpanzee have done nothing wrong, there’s no need to block and fears John Bolton… guilty man as Russia assets fears witnesses… lock him up 4life
You are correct would be nice to see the dumb chump supporters open their eyes and see the real truth
Nothing unamerican about the orange tainted GOP S.O.B.s🙊🙉🙈
Remember in November😉
I’ve never seen someone work so hard to prove that they’ve got nothing to hide, by hiding everything.
@Rachel Madison what a racist bully, that is way too much truth and reality for these people to handle. 😂😂😂
@Rachel Madison
Ordering witnesses not to testify
Hiding documents
GSA and 100s of prosecutors say it was a crime.
Trumps Attorney General is as big a criminal as trump and refused to investigate.
Juandisimo What’s the crime?
you want trumps national security advisor to testify for what? For wanting Joe Biden‘s crimes investigated? For making sure Ukraine was not corrupt before releasing military funds? How come the articles of impeachment have no crimes listed? Democrats keep saying Trump committed crimes, but the impeachment articles list no crimes. Why? Because the facts are not on your side. And your treason will be exposed in the MAGA Senate
I thought he promised this would be the most transparent administration. Liar.
Who would’ve thought?
Very transparent. He gave you the phone call transcript with the Ukrainian president. How come Obama never gave us any of his phone transcripts with the Russian Putin when he said he will have more flexibility once the election is over? Or Joe Biden‘s Ukrainian phone calls when he got his zero experience cocaine addicted son Hunter an $83,000 per month job with that corrupt Ukraine gas company for doing absolutely nothing? That’s over 1 million per year.
He did say that, unfortunately Trumpo is way too illiterate to even know what transparent is.
The lengths that Trump and the GOP are going too, is laughable.
Always remember that innocent people want all the truth to come out because they’re innocent… Bolton is part of that truth
I’m sure you used the same rule and thought was innocent during Russian investigation.
THAT’S WHY JOHN BOLTON IS WRITING A BOOK, I WONDER IF THEY’LL TRY TO STOP THAT TOO SINCE THEY’RE AFRAID OF THE TRUTH!!✌😂😂😂
Hey, MR PERFECT PHONE CALL! Why are you still blocking witness testimony?!
You don’t have to be a Democrat to be against a con man being
So Republicans are literally admitting that they know Trump is guilty.
@Oxlade reinghold https://youtu.be/oHC1230OpOg 🤣
@Kay most of your voting machines are paperless.
@Oxlade reinghold Might as well said MEXICO WILL… IAM AN IDIOT, IAM AN IDIOT 🚧🚧🚧🚧
TRUMP LOCKED UP 2020
@Kay You must have serious brain damage to even remotely believe that.
Well, peasants best grabs your peanuts buckets, and buckle up to witness tamperings and conservative trumped “liberals” quick pro quo trilogy of the century lol
Will be like going through a drive thru at McDonald’s and ordering Burger Burger Kings and then afterwards witness how well grandstanding Lindsey Sins and Moscow Mitch’s double standards speaks out to remind you that.
Hell we already told you so lmfao ❗
🤦♀️😂🤦♂️🤣
Once again… Santorum’s logic is that of one that just got released from a Sanitarium.
I dont know why they Entertain him! He’s a jerk and a traitor! The Biden’s are irrelevant to the subject of impeachment. Trump did the crime; that’s the fact! Smh!🙏🇺🇸
shouldn’t that be… Trump Is A “Lying MF”
