On Wednesday, Washington Post reporter Seung Min Kim asked Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-TN) about the new allegations from former National Security Adviser John Bolton that President Donald Trump interfered in multiple international criminal investigations for personal gain and tried to get the Chinese president to help him win the election. Alexander said that he does not regret voting against allowing Bolton to testify in the Senate impeachment trial.
The reason? Because Alexander already believed Trump was abusing his office this way he just didnt care.

Bolton was a dick for not testifying so he could sell his book, but it probably wouldn't have made a difference because the GOPers were already totally drunk on Trump's Kool-Aid.

He said the same thing at the time, during impeachment. He knew Trump was guilty, but he didn't care and was going to vote not to convict him.
