I'm not sure what there is for Democrats to complain about: let both sides present their best opening argument with the option of hearing additional witnesses and evidence if enough people are on the fence. That all sounds perfectly fair to me.
Of course Democrats know their opening argument is going to be a dud, but that's their problem.

Pelosi has the impeachment in limbo, remember? Perhaps you could make the argument Bolton didn't know whether he could still testify before the House because of this. I'm actually unclear of this myself.

Originally posted by seanD View PostIf that's the case, why couldn't he have volunteered to testify to the House when they dismissed Kupperman's subpoena? There is no assurance that the senate will even subpoena him for trial.

Originally posted by JimL View PostThe reason for Boltons change of mind is the recent dismissal of his deputy, Mr. Kuppermans lawsuit, which leaves Bolton no legitimate reason for not testifying.

If he has damning evidence against Trump, his aim would presumably be to sway senate Republicans.

Originally posted by Sam View PostThe venue of the testimony would not matter, as members are given equal time. Senate Democrats will not be pressing harder than their House colleagues and Senate Republicans will not be dissembling less than theirs.

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostIt still leaves the question of why he was unwilling to testify before the House.
