Synopsis of Bolton interview.

46. This ass has been around long enough -

He knows damned well that if the Dems had pursued all of this by issuing subpoenas and what not, and waiting for these to be adjudicated through the courts, it would have taken a couple of years for a final result. The concern was valid to a point, but the time required because of the workings of the court system would have rendered the whole proceeding moot. We'd still be waiting for decisions from the courts to get these individuals to appear in front of the House. Given the upcoming election and what Dump was attempting to do, speed was of the essence.

It irritates the heck out of me that this little fact never gets mentioned in the reporting for the events of the impeachment. If you can't get reasonably quick remediation from the courts, what's the point? Particularly within a two-year election cycle. Certainly there needs to be some solution to this type of stuff going forward. Getting your witnesses to appear a year or more after the fact is useless, particularly for a lawless ass like Dump.
