After months of the Democrats behaving as if John Bolton’s testimony would have somehow been the nail-in-the-coffin in President Trump’s impeachment trial, the former national security adviser finally broke his silence to disabuse people of that notion.
Speaking at Vanderbilt University this week, Bolton said that impeachment efforts against Trump were “grossly partisan,” while clarifying that his testimony would not have altered the president’s acquittal in the Senate.
“Bolton contended that the House ‘committed impeachment malpractice,’ drawing some grumbling from the audience, saying ‘the process drove Republicans who might have voted for impeachment away because it was so partisan,’” reports the Associated Press.
“People can argue about what I should have said and what I should have done,” Bolton said. “I would bet you a dollar right here and now, my testimony would have made no difference to the ultimate outcome.” – READ MORE

Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) says the roughly 3.5 million illegal aliens who are enrolled and eligible for former President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program are the “future” of the United States.
During NBC News’s 2020 Democrat Debate on Wednesday evening, Klobuchar said that “our future” in the U.S. is hinging on the millions of illegal aliens enrolled and eligible for DACA.
“The DREAMers are our future,” Klobuchar said. “The DREAMers are so important in Nevada, and the best way we can get this done is to beat Donald Trump, but it’s to pass comprehensive immigration reform.”
A DACA amnesty, as Klobuchar supports, would put more citizen children of illegal aliens — known as “anchor babies” — on federal welfare, as Breitbart News reported, while American taxpayers would be left potentially with a $26 billion bill. – READ MORE
