John Ashcroft, eh? Old hoary faux patriots never die - they're just embalmed in Delaware LLC scams & conservo-talk shows. How much dirty money is flowing through the whole damn system. No wonder these crooks can work "for free".

Frank Rich retweeted this by Rick Wilson on Bolton's next move--such an unlikely pairing but both very savvy so I figure they must be guessing right:

Bolton is such a smart bureaucratic infighter that he should understand Barr and the White House are only a few hours away from wrecking his book and his life.

Trump might even try to leverage Barr to pursue him on criminal charges.

His only path is to make it all public.

I noted in the above that Rudy is not being thrown under the bus, far from it, he is being praised. Then I saw these comments to the new story by Ken Vogel:

I just asked RUDY if BOLTON made up the mtg:

“I think he’s making some of it up. He’s sure making up — I wouldn’t call it making it up, but he’s acting like a real scumbag by never telling me that he objected once, & then saying I was a time bomb, or a firecracker or something."

NOTABLE: Around the day TRUMP was reportedly telling BOLTON to contact ZELENSKY about meeting with RUDY to discuss investigations intended partly to undermine the MUELLER probe, @RudyGiuliani was talking to lawyers for PAUL MANAFORT about the same subject. https://t.co/aUnPPQfEMM

If John Bolton were to be called as a witness, this would be the reply to his testimony, so then what?

In a statement after this article was published, Mr. Trump denied the discussion that Mr. Bolton described.

“I never instructed John Bolton to set up a meeting for Rudy Giuliani, one of the greatest corruption fighters in America and by far the greatest mayor in the history of N.Y.C., to meet with President Zelensky,” Mr. Trump said. “That meeting never happened.”

In a brief interview, Mr. Giuliani denied that the conversation took place and said those discussions with the president were always kept separate. He was adamant that Mr. Cipollone and Mr. Mulvaney were never involved in meetings related to Ukraine.

“It is absolutely, categorically untrue,” he said.

Neither Mr. Bolton nor a representative for Mr. Mulvaney responded to requests for comment.

from today's NYTimes new one by Haberman & Schmidt,

Trump Told Bolton to Help His Ukraine Pressure Campaign, Book Says

The president asked his national security adviser last spring in front of other senior advisers to pave the way for a meeting between Rudolph Giuliani and Ukraine’s new leader.

His lying is always accepted by his base and therefore nothing changes for those Senators with a need to pander to his base.

Support for witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial:

That's an average of 73%!

Republicans are blocking witnesses while admitting Trump engaged in a quid pro quo. Will voters punish them in November for it?

Maybe it’s just as well the Senate didn’t save us, and we will have to depend on ourselves to do so in November.

If it is 50-50, and Roberts rules that he CANNOT break the tie, Democrats should APPEAL that ruling, and have the Senate vote on whether Roberts CAN vote. https://t.co/sOA6RivhUy
