Lemming posted:I dunno, I'm still feeling that Bolton would just be like "yep everything was on the up and up, I made up that stuff to sell books" I hear you. Except I don't think Bolton likes Trump. Like at all. Xaiter posted:WTF is this defense? I'm gonna go with "contradictions" and "outright lies". I counted at least 4 or 5 straight up falsehoods for the little time I could stomach listening to it. I love how W Bush sucked so hard and so loudly that even Republicans realized it and the lesson they took from it was that they weren't sucking hard enough. I mean, in my lifetime, I've gotten Watergate, the S&L crisis, Iran Contra, 9/11, two Iraq Wars and now this poo poo. And that's just the big stuff.

Scooter_McCabe posted:Think of how many politicians kids get a leg up on their poo poo because of who mommy or daddy is. No one wants that gravy train hosed with and calling Hunter highlights that issue more than anything else. There will be some pissed politicians if a law about your children getting patronage or what constitutes patronage comes out of this. Yeah, team Trump going on and on about nepotism and calling it a crime is pretty rich.

It's honestly incredible that the GOP doesn't seem to have a single intelligent person who can speak on their behalf. An entire political ideology devoid of intelligence.

On executive privilege..I'm not a lawyer but I will note the Parnas stuff came out only after the courts let it be released so the argument that Bolton just let is spill like Parnas ignores that Parnas sought and got court permission for releasing everything.

Robert Ray is doing a shittastic job here. I mean he is basically making the case of encouraging Republicans to impeach him. At least he is trying to make the effort, abit a awful one, to explain why he is contradicting himself unlike Starr. "Professor" Dershowitz is going to be a laugh riot I am sure.

DarkHorse posted:It's the end result of a policy of anti-intellectualism Nah, in a lot of these interviews there's just no intelligent defense that can be made, so it's better to play dumb and essentially duck the question instead of demonstrating that you do understand the facts but choose to not follow them to the obvious conclusion. eg https://twitter.com/BGrueskin/status/1221844703718641666

Dapper_Swindler posted:https://twitter.com/RadioFreeTom/status/1221608904150462464 I doubt Bolton himself leaked it. I would assume it would be someone from the publisher or someone in government. I'd assume it would be government due to the timing and where it went to. Likely it probably came from the White House itself, like the call record, thinking that it would play much differently than it has. If the NY Times has something it ALWAYS is a purposeful leak from the White House.

He went through this giant, rambling story about how he interned for a Congressman who voted on the Nixon stuff and went through how Republicans voted for it as well and they weren't afraid. Now he is making a bad arguement that Trump did nothing and that impeachment is not constitutional.

The White House had a copy, sure, but it doesn’t mean they wanted it to leak.

generic one posted:Remember all those times leaks would happen about the administration having meetings about how people were leaking?

I can see them leaking it thinking that Fox and the Right would use it to smear Bolton as a "never Trumper" and whatnot so they would have some cover for not voting for Witnesses. It would also get the heat off of the legal team. Like releasing the call record of the Ukraine call, it only makes sense to worm brains.
