After the revelation last night that former National Security Advisor John Bolton is claiming in his yet-to-be released book that lying demagogue Donald "Impeached Forever" Trump explicitly said that military aid to Ukraine hinged on their political help in his campaign, Trump is reacting:
The Democrat controlled House never even asked John Bolton to testify. It is up to them, not up to the Senate!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 27, 2020
If anything will set him off, coverage of Bolton's claim will, and the Dems have fresh ammunition to use this week, just as Trump's TV lawyers attempt to defend him. It's worth remembering that Bolton told the House committees that he'd comply with a subpoena after a court determined it was permissable; recently, he changed it to saying he'd respond to a subpoena from the Senate to testify. Now that the media can forage through his unpublished manuscript, the steady barrage of bombshells will ensure that more pressure is brought on the Rethuglican invertibrates in the Senate to hear his testimony.

Per sources, some GOP senators privately pushing White House for information on who at administration had visibility into the manuscript over the last month. Senators feel blindsided.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) January 27, 2020
