thinking is it probably gets down to people like bolton. will bolton be called? i mean the senate says the senate majority says they don t want to call anybody. so it s going to be interesting to see if there s pressure that rises. does the public say get on with it, or does the public say we want more information? right now, don, what has been astounding to me, frankly i ve been wrong. i thought that the public would begin to support well, still a lot of americans that want to see him impeached. but i didn t expect a continued partisan divide. look, part of it i think part of it, blame goes on the democrats, who i don t think entered this process in the right way. i think they should have tried to get some expedited judicial hearings. i also think they should have gone and voted on the impeachment inquiry from the beginning. i told you that before. that being said, however, now this is done. totally partisan. split down the middle.
listen, there was a little drama, a little surprise at the end because house speaker nancy pelosi kind of slowed the next step tonight, saying that she wants to see a fair trial before they announce who the managers and before they send the articles of impeachment to the senate. it sets up quite a battle between the two chambers, don t you think? yeah. you know, don, i guess steny hoyer, who is really number two in the house, talked about this. i saw a clip somewhere. i mean i got a text or something saying that he had talked about this earlier. so i think what probably they re thinking is it probably gets down to people like bolton. will bolton be called? i mean the senate says the senate majority says they don t want to call anybody. so it s going to be interesting to see if there s pressure that rises. does the public say get on with it, or does the public say we want more information? right now, don, what has been astounding to me, frankly i ve been wrong. i thought that the
a few witnesses have come forward and even trump administration have said i m going to tell the truth to the american people. that s what we have been seeing in these hearings in the last two weeks. now the question is will bolton and other people come and testi testify. a subpoena forces these folks to come forward and testify and it can be challenged in court. what the democrats are saying is look we already have the goods on the president. you just read the transcript on july 25th. you that outlines the entire case. the witnesses of the last two weeks have demonstrated it. ambassador dobolton is kind of gravy. it would be helpful to have but you don t need it. they won t subpoena him because they know it will take some time. as it moves to senate, the democrats and the house will be prosecuting the case will be
they both told a consistent story, as far as i understand. tim morrison told colleagues in recent days he ll also be leaving the white house, and he appears to be a key person who informed ambassador taylor in ukraine in realtime that there was problems with the aid, there were concerns being raised, they appeared to flow directly from the president himself. and again, much of the testimony we re hearing so far has been from people appointed by the trump administration itself. and what i ve been struck by is they raise concerns contemporaneously in realtime and it appears to include tim morrison, who is testifying today. obviously there is more information that will be gathered. john bolton s testimony, the president s own national security adviser. remember, these people worked for him. tim morrison worked for him. they ve all now testified. bolton himself was extremely alarmed by this turn of events. will bolton confirm that?
that s going to blow everybody up, he said. and urged deputies to report their concerns to the white house lawyer. in other words, will bolton join the growing list of foreign policy professionals in condemning what he s already called and pretty well said it, a drug deal. but how likely is that congressional investigators will hear from him? we ll see. he could be the cherry on top. we ll see. i don t think they need him. that s coming up next. don t thi. that s coming up next. it s tough to quit smoking cold turkey.
