The trial has started 3 days into the Trial the murder weapon has been found and ballistics match the weapon ...
Republicans think that because it wasnt found by the (House) prior to the Senate its not relevant
But somehow hunter Biden is
Again I have no illusions the Senate will not remove him... But I guess the American people and the historical record should be denied this new information from a 1st hand witness,,
And republicans beating the Drum of let the voters decide and overturning an election BS , Yet they dont want to present anything that may damage the POTUS how upstanding putting Trump before the Voters ..

What he meant (I'm pretty sure), was that what you posted, implies that you are certain they will remove him.

Not intentionally. But when you typed this:

that means you think they will remove him. Too many negatives in there...he was teasing you, that's all...

I'd like to see Bolton testify, no reason not to. The more facts we have, the better.
WDMSO, would you be OK with allowing Bolton to testify, if in return, we asked the Bidens to testify?
You're acting as if only Republicans want to hide the facts. The truth is, there are some Republican senators (Romney, Collins) who are open to the idea of letting Bolton testify. I haven't heard one single democrat say that we should also get to the bottom of what the Biden's were doing.
So which side wants the facts, and which side is covering up? It's not as one-sided as you are trying to portray it to be. Not even close.
Your side is interested in presenting all facts which will hurt Trump. They're not interested in much else.
Wayne, isn't it best if we know what Bolton has to say, AND we also know if Hunter used daddy's connections to get a cushy job? If not, just come out and say that you're only interested in facts that fit your agenda.
Hunter is a weirdo and a complete scumbag (what kind of a man is a millionaire, but only pays child support because a judge orders him to?). I'd like to know what he and daddy were doing there. Just as I'd like to know what Bolton has to say.

Supposedly, the Bidens' action in Ukraine was the main reason for the Trump actions that led to impeachment. If that is true, the Bidens would certainly have 1st hand relevance to Trump's action.

Supposedly being the key word, that crap cover story has already been blown up by testimony and now Bolton is about to force the senate into exactly what Moscow Mitch wanted so desperately to avoid; first hand witnesses. Kelly coming out in support of Bolton is going to further raise the stakes, might be Mitch is thinking gee how would a Pence presidency be.

The supposition is that Trump only wanted something that would benefit him in the 2020 election.

having biden testify doesn’t directly support or refute the articles of
impeachment. so let’s have a separate investigation into Biden if you want it disconnected from impeachment.
My point is this...Donald Trump
is running for president, therefore i think it’s vital that the voters have all the information they can get, when deciding if they’re going to vote for him. If Bolton’s testimony sheds new light, we are better off having those facts. I assume
you agree.
Here’s where we part ways. Using the same exact logic I articulated above, were similarly better off knowing what, if anything, Joe Biden did in Ukraine.
I think it’s good to know the truth, regardless of party.
Obviously, you’re only interested in the truth that helps democrats.
Nothing you have ever posted, disputes that last sentence of mine. Try making that wrong. Or at least explain to us all, why seeking truth is only a noble undertaking, when it helps democrats or hurts republicans? Obviously that’s what you believe, so just tell us why?

What Truths hurt Democrats , what truths benefit Trump haven't heard any
I have no issues with a separate Biden investigation, based on evidence or probable cause , not just let's go fishing
You do know Bengiza was to discredit Clinton , prior to the election or did you miss that
Another GOP congressman says Benghazi panel meant to hurt Clinton

That says it better than I ever, ever could. You don't operate in the real world, you exist in a hyper positive world, where literally,
liberal=good
conservative=bad
always, no exceptions.

There was no crime. Ukraine received the money . . . before the due date . . . there was no victim . . . there was no quo. Does Bolton's, excerpt dispute that?

The money was released once they got caught and they knew the scam was up.

No, any reasonable person would recognize that when the Trump admin. saw other people now knew about the holdup and they then unfroze the $ w/in a day or 2 it was bc they got caught. I don't believe they ever gave any explanation for releasing the $.

The holdup was not a secret that needed to be "caught." It was not illegal. Whether you like it or not, or if you believe your version of a "reasonable" person would think it was a crime, that is irrelevant. Whether or not you or your "reasonable" person didn't think there was any reason to delay the money, that is irrelevant. Trump had concerns about corruption. It his state of mind, not yours nor your "reasonable" person's state of mind that matters.
Imposing your speculative narrative on Trumps action is not a valid reason to impeach him.

Rumor has it, that Friday after the vote if it does not call for witnesses, John Bolton will release what would have been his opening statement.
Because revenge is a dish best served cold.
And Bolton is very politically astute.
We will see, at the very least it would make great campaign material against Floridaman and the Trumplicans.

Easy way to cure what you call "speculation"
Release the documents, everything in government has a paper trail.
Let the witnesses testify, lots of career staff had their hands on this.
Obstruction works, until the light reaches the evidence.
You may like not like John Bolton’s principles, but he’s very principled. He’s also smart. And he just loves a good fight. He's not planning to lose.

If it requires all of this, then impeachment should not happen without it. You don't impeach to get evidence. You impeach because you have it. And it should not happen because of speculation.

Plenty of evidence, boy the streets would be full of criminals and murders if they all needed to be caught with the bloody knife in the victims house.

Congressional oversight is the duty of our elected representatives.
They requested the documents.
Floridaman refused to provide any.
Zero
But plenty will come out, most of it has been requested under FOIA and some has already been delivered.
It will all reach the light, a great deal of it prior to election day.
