Something I'd need to see before believing it'll happen. There's no accountability in these bureaus.

I wouldn't call Bolton (and his neocon brethren) a tool of the left, I'd say they're both (neocons/the left) TDS allies trying to get rid of Trump for their own nefarious purposes.

I think the operative word in that headline is "yet".  There are still two days of questions before the Senate takes up the question of witnesses.  Regardless, if witnesses are agreed too, it should be everyone, not just the ones the Democrats want.

At this point its how well Romney, Collins, Murkowski, and any other holdovers can be reasoned with. Because they're not dealing with a neocon-favored establishment person like Kavanaugh, there's less line to tow, so they can pretty much prance around like idiots all they like, I don't know if any of them hold important committee positions, or if there's really anything to strip them of.

What a difference a day makes.

 

GOP senators believe they have the votes to block witnesses

 

It was clear to Senate Republicans on Wednesday after a morning meeting between Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) and Sen. Lisa Murkowski(R-Alaska) that the question of having additional witnesses is settled, and the Senate will vote Friday to wrap up the impeachment trial of President Trump.  There was no discussion of witnesses at a Senate GOP lunch meeting Wednesday, which was held a couple hours after McConnell and Murkowski met for about 20 to 30 minutes.  That was seen as a sign by several senators that Democrats will fail to convince four Republicans to join them in calling for witnesses. Without a vote to hear from witnesses, the trial could end as soon as Friday.  “We’re going to get it done by Friday, hopefully,” Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said following the meeting.

Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.), emerging from the lunch, said, “I think I can say the mood is good.  ”Braun expressed confidence that McConnell will be able to keep his conference unified enough to defeat a motion to consider subpoenas for additional witnesses and documents.

“If I had to guess, no witnesses,” he said.

Now, the question is will Adam Schiff head back into his basement bunker and start drafting up some new articles of impeachment.  I think that would be very bad for the Dems, but I can certainly see Schiff doing it.

That might be your question. 

 

Another question  is: will Republicans be  penalized for bucking public opinion because 76% of RV want to see evidence and witnesses?
