Just wait. Soon the defense will shift to it’s technically not illegal for the President to secretly extort another country to frame your political rivals

Is it yet starting to dawn on Trump supporters just how bad this is for the President?
Is it happening yet?

Well that is simply untrue. As a member of the NSC specializing in Ukraine, even speaking Ukrainian, he was EXACTLY the type of person hired for this type of assignment. Holy smokes man.
I’m sure it is but we’ll see a much rosier picture when they say so. That’s what we’ve seen up till now.
Nope. But man should it ever by now.
Since the “transcript” is a memo of peoples recollection of the conversation, it is a opinion.

So the talking point has changed from “hearsay” to “opinion”?
I know how this will go. “You Libs hated John Bolton, and now you love him”.

If Bolton falls in line with what everyone is saying, that the President held up aid to pressure Ukraine into publicly investigating the Bidens and that that is a bad thing.
A drug deal even. …
Then what is the response? How do they react?

As someone who has long distrusted John Bolton, nothing has changed. I have a mlld sense of amusement as Trump cycles through the ranks of secondary talent in the conservative world… turning many of them against him in the process.
I have more trust in professionals link Vindman and Yovanovitch who have dedicated themselves to serving our country without seeking the spotlight. Having been ignored on most issues by Trump, I suspect Bolton will be seeking some measure of revenge… but is he acting in the national interest? Not at all convinced.
Of course, on the other side we have the efforts by Trump supporters to treat people who serve our nation, like Lt. Col. Vindman as traitors. Veteran status just doesn’t earn one anything with Trump era Republicans.

Why would they want this to be public?!? I cannot understand for the life of me.

I think they will only have the fallback of claiming not to believe your ears and your eyes. Believe the propaganda. Nothing Trump does or did can be a crime because Trump is the United States. It’s illogical and will further cement his supporters in their place in history. But I suspect they don’t care, or don’t understand.
I seem to recall someone already threw that out here. But I’m sure we’ll see it again.

Why would Trump supporters want these hearings to be more public. Unless they’re literally developmentally disables, they know he did this ■■■■■ this is what Trump does and always has.

I gotcha. I thought you meant the Democrats. It’s a great point. The more the public hears direct from the people within the White House itself, the worse it is going to be for Trump. The GOP has gotten high on their own supply. The propaganda and conspiracy theories have allowed the worms to eat their brains.

Trump supporters always loved Jeff Sessions until they didn’t love Jeff Sessions. This is just a game… one of many to distract from the mounting evidence that a group of Russian mobsters played on Trump’s insecurities to get them to put US policy in the Ukraine at their beck and call under the guise of helping him free himself from the stigma of the Russian assistance in he received in 201[quote=“madasheck, post:455, topic:217325, full:true”]

Anyone can play this game. Trumpers loved Jeff Sessions until they didn’t and now John Bolton is getting the same treatment.
But underneath it all is the refusal to recognize the growing evidence that a group of Russian mobsters (C players funded by an A player) and their paid lackey – Rudy G. – convinced President Trump to put US foreign policy e Russian assistance he received in 2016 plus some help against the man who was the frontrunner against him in 2020 at the time.
To accept this means the entire Trump edifice comes crumbling down… and there are plenty of posters here who are not ready to accept that.
