https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/26/us/politics/john-bolton-trump-book-takeaways.html* Mr. Trump tied his willingness to release aid to Ukraine on investigations he sought.
* Mr. Trump was at odds with his senior national security officials.
* Mr. Bolton says he talked to Mr. Barr and Mr. Pompeo about Mr. Giuliani.
* Mr. Bolton is willing to testify. The White House doesnt want him to.
* The manuscript introduced a significant twist to the impeachment trial.
If the Senate does vote to hear from Mr. Bolton, the trial could stretch deep into February.

And despite overwhelming evidence that Trump sold out his country and his office republican
senators are still gonna let him walk and not call Bolton to testify. They know he is guilty, a
con man, and working for Putin but they don't care.
The Rude Pundit has summed it all up very nicely.
"And, frankly, Republicans are more obsessed with 2016 now than Democrats are because they know, they fucking know, that Trump's victory is illegitimate and they have to do everything in their power to not let that fact become viral."

I would take a bet that Ron Johnson was in the loop about the 2016 election manipulations
