๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ Well, Susan Hennessey sure seems like a Naรฏve Nellie now. ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ Itโ€™s just Bolton posturing. But now I really want to see both a trial in the Senate and Schiff as one of the prosecutors and him questioning Bolton. ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Also I hope if pundits decide to express that this is theatre by Bolton and intend to say โ€œkabukiโ€ that they accidentally say โ€œkaraokeโ€ instead.

Whole face is too human looking. And significantly lacking in crenellations.

That sounds more like what they would do. Or send Hezbollah to do another barracks bombing like in Beirut in 83. But that Gulf of Hormuz, we ainโ€™t done hearinโ€™ about that.

Even the DARPA guy??! I have to admit my first thought was โ€˜oh wow! Maybe I can be head of DARPA now!โ€™ DARPA is weird enough at the best of times, Trump DARPA, holy shit. Also disappointed the guy with the movie star name was not the DARPA guy.

Alternate theory which I donโ€™t really believe but would be funny/horrifying: Bolton is pissed that Trump might drag us into a war with Iran without him, and now wants to testify for sheer spite.

These fuckers just ignore the law and do whatever they want.

At this point, I wouldn't call Bolton as a witness without first getting a proffer of his testimony and/or a sworn statement/deposition. No House Manager should be asking him ANY questions cold at the impeachment trial without knowing in advance what the answer is going to be and exactly where the line of questioning is going. Bolton's got too much of his own personal interests -- both political and economic -- invested in any appearance to allow for "winging it" in testimony before the Senate.

No one's going to call him without a SCIF deposition first.
