Trump told John Bolton in August that he wanted to continue freezing security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by Bolton. Yet he won't come testify or give an affidavit voluntarily. This is what R's will allow - no trial but let Bolton make fools of them by publishing a book with evidence that was within their reach. Will Republicans continue to ignore all the proof staring them in the face? Trump confessed, publicly asked Ukraine and China to investigate the Bidens, the call memo corroborated his confession, Mulvaney confessed and Sondland said Trump demanded a public announcement and now Bolton.

Pompeo claims Mary Louise Kelly agreed to have their post-interview conversation off the record, though he can’t even get a subordinate to confirm that. But in any case he nowhere denies saying what Kelly reported—the vulgarity, the bullying, the contempt for the American people.

I fucking hate this admin so much. She studied EUROPEAN STUDIES at Harvard and Cambridge. She can name every country in Europe, their capitals, and 50 facts about them. She's a journalist who has spent a career reporting on world affairs. She didn't confuse Ukraine with fucking Bangladesh, a Southeast Asian country 4,000 miles away. That must be one of the laziest, most pathetic, insecure lies I've ever heard. Not to mention the gall of cursing out an esteemed journalist, smearing the press, and challenging her with a map like an edgy middle schooler. Spoiler alert Republicans: not everyone is as ignorant as you are.
