22. What are their intentions?
Tue Jan 28, 2020, 02:15 PM

I think the leak from the White House was intentional. They knew the information would come out when Bolton's book was published, but move out of the the realm of controllable. Exposing Trump now or later is damaging, but having it out now means they can do better damage control while pressuring rep senators to go along.

And what a coup to have this out now before the trial is over AND get away with it.

I agree with Eric Garland, they are knowingly and aggressively acting to dismantle the governmental institutions of the United States as we know them. https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212918117

Drip, drip, drip. Little by little they are pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable toward chaos.
