Joe Biden admitted today in one of his campaign events that Democrats trying to impeach Trump will make him stronger and harder to beat in November : The audio comes at 4:40 in the clip above .
Here ’ s what Biden says if you don ’ t want to torture yourself with the video : I always get asked the question : ‘ Isn ’ t the president going to be stronger and harder to beat if he survives this ?
’ The answer is yes , probably .
But the Congress has no choice… Biden also lied his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 25th phone call to Zelensky , saying : “ He called a newly elected prime minister and said – apparently , based on the evidence I ’ ve heard – I ’ m going to withhold 400 million dollars in aid that your folks need in order to keep the Russians from killing your citizens .
Unless you announce – you don ’ t have to do anything , just announce that you ’ re going to investigate Joe Biden.
” As the Daily Wire rightly notes , none of that actually happened @ @ @ @ @ @ @ It ’ s sounds more like Schiff ’ s version of Trump ’ s phone call than anything else , which is probably where he got it .
Which is really pathetic for someone running for president .

The audio comes at 4:40 in the clip above. Here’s what Biden says if you don’t want to torture yourself with the video:
I always get asked the question: ‘Isn’t the president going to be stronger and harder to beat if he survives this?’ The answer is yes, probably. But the Congress has no choice…
Biden also lied his butt off regarding Trump’s July 25th phone call to Zelensky, saying:
“He called a newly elected prime minister and said – apparently, based on the evidence I’ve heard – I’m going to withhold 400 million dollars in aid that your folks need in order to keep the Russians from killing your citizens. Unless you announce – you don’t have to do anything, just announce that you’re going to investigate Joe Biden.”
As the Daily Wire rightly notes, none of that actually happened. It’s all lies. It’s sounds more like Schiff’s version of Trump’s phone call than anything else, which is probably where he got it. Which is really pathetic for someone running for president.

Rand Paul is saying today that Republicans are close to having the votes needed to dismiss the impeachment charges against Trump:
WAPO – Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), a leading ally of President Trump, said Wednesday that 45 Republicans are ready to dismiss the charges against the president and he would keep pushing to rally a majority of GOP senators to end the impeachment trial.
“There are 45, with about five to eight wanting to hear a little more,” Paul said in an interview with The Washington Post. “I still would like to dismiss it, but there aren’t the votes to do it just yet.”

“I will push it at some point,” Paul said. “The more Adam Schiff speaks, the more we become unified.”
Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the Senate.

CNN Political Analyst Joe Lockhart today claimed that two Republican Senators who “only watch Fox News” were claiming they hadn’t heard any of the impeachment evidence Schiff was laying out about Trump and were worried that Trump was really guilty:
Overheard convo between two Republican Senators who only watch Fox News. "is this stuff real? I haven't heard any of this before. I thought it was all about a server. If half the stuff Schiff is saying is true, we're up shit's creek. Hope the White House has exculpatory evidence — Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) January 22, 2020
The fake news tweet went viral with over 5.5k retweets.
A few minutes later Lockhart tweeted that he made it all up:

Of course, this schmuck then tried to get out of trouble by claiming it was only ‘satire’:
Everyone relax. This is satire. Satire to make the point that Senators that are deciding the President's fate who only watch Fox News have never heard this stuff before. Because Fox is part of the coverup. https://t.co/ktCxCg1Irt — Joe Lockhart (@joelockhart) January 22, 2020

It’s almost becoming an everyday thing where someone is calling out Adam Schiff for lying about something. This time it’s Chris Wallace.
Watch:
In this video clip Wallace notes that Schiff quoted the line “just get over it” from Mick Mulvaney’s infamous press conference. But Wallace points out that Mulvaney was only referring to the fact that there is a political bent to their foreign policies, just like there was under Obama and previous presidents.
Schiff, he seemed to indicate, was using it to suggest Mulvaney was saying everyone should “just get over it” referring to the quid pro quo. But Wallace said that’s not what Mulvaney said and criticized Schiff for “completely misrepresenting” Mulvaney’s comments.
It’s a good thing Schiff isn’t Pinocchio:

therightscoop--2020-01-22--WATCH: Lindsey Graham went OFF on Democrats and the media for being on a “crusade to destroy” Trump

Lindsey Graham was absolutely on fire today during a press conference , going off on Democrats and the media after he was asked by a reporter about the president ’ s refusal to turn over documents .
His response was epic , and starts at 13:36 : In a nutshell , Graham stated unequivocally that if he were the president , he wouldn ’ t cooperate with Democrats either and explained why , at length .
Here ’ s a corrected transcript of his epic comments from Youtube… Yesterday I saw an effort to ask the Senate to ignore every @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exercise , Nixon was able to exercise , and to suggest to the Senate that an independent judiciary really is a non-player .
If I were the president I wouldn ’ t cooperate with these guys at all !
I ’ m the same guy that said you can ’ t fire Mueller .
I encouraged him to work with Mueller .
Mueller is a man of the law .
Schiff , Nadler and Pelosi impeached this president in 48 days !
I wouldn ’ t give them the time of day !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroy this man and they don ’ t care what they destroy in the process of trying to destroy Donald Trump .
I do care !
So to my Democratic colleagues , you can say what you want about me , but I ’ m covering up nothing !
I ’ m exposing your hatred of this president to the point that you would destroy the institution .
Nobody would be saying this about a Democratic president if a Republican House had done this .
You wouldn ’ t even ask me this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in our face saying that there ’ s a Democratic president and you ’ re denying that person , he or she , the chance to go to court and litigate these matters because you hate them so much .
It shows you how complicit people have become when it comes to Trump .
Not one question about the idea that a Democratic controlled House in 48 days impeach the president the United States with a process where you couldn ’ t have a lawyer couldn ’ t call a witness .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wants to object to turning over documents to them .
You would be all over us !
So let me tell you what ’ s going to happen in November .
This won ’ t matter much .
People are going to judge the president about what he ’ s done and what he can do .
And they ’ re going to look at the Democratic alternative and ask will I be better off with this person versus Trump .
But I ’ m going to remember this .
I ’ m @ @ @ @ @ @ @ long time .
No good deed goes unpunished around this place .
Working with my Democratic colleagues I tried to give Mueller the space to do his job , and I told the president to his face ‘ if it ’ s proven you were working with the Russians ’ or ‘ you sought something from the Russians and got it ’ , that ’ s it for me and you .
Now now the same people that patted me on the back are asking me to railroad the guy , to legitimize @ @ @ @ @ @ @ destroy the presidency over time .
I will not be part of that .
And you need to ask yourself some questions .
Would you be asking different questions if this were a Democratic president treated so poorly by a Republican House ?
Because I remember Clinton very well .
We got challenged , rightly so , about what we were doing and why we were doing it .
So I wouldn ’ t cooperate at all with these people if I were the president .

therightscoop--2020-01-22--WATCH: AOC explains why billionaires don’t “make” their money in another stupid clip that will make

WATCH: AOC explains why billionaires don’t “make” their money in another stupid clip that will make you facepalm…

In another clip from AOC ’ s ridiculous interview a few days ago , she explains why billionaires don ’ t really ‘ make ’ their money .
Rather , she says they ‘ take ’ the money from all their workers .
This mentality is so negative and absurd .
First of all , she generalizes that billionaires exploit their workers by paying them less than a living wage , and in many cases ‘ slave wages ’ , saying they take their wealth from their workers .
Speaking in general terms , that ’ s ridiculous .
I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that move overseas where labor is cheaper , but if we do what she wants and force all companies to pay everyone at least $ 15 an hour , if not more , that would send even more companies overseas and kill even more jobs here in America .
In this country we have a minimum wage that companies must meet .
It ’ s the law .
Many workers make far more than minimum wage , especially when they have years of experience under their belt .
Most importantly , these workers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
If they don ’ t think it ’ s enough , they can go work somewhere else .
I know AOC would argue that people don ’ t always have this opportunity , but I think in most cases here that ’ s not true .
People go from job to job all the time in this country and many work more than one job to make ends meet .
Secondly , yes millionaires and billionaires make a ton of money .
But their ingenuity and ‘ greed ’ creates many jobs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ exist if they didn ’ t take a risk at some point in their life , most likely when they weren ’ t “ millionaires and billionaires ” .
There are so many people around the world living in desperate poverty who would love to come to America and work for a company like Amazon , which already employees close to 700,000 people .
We want more millionaires and billionaires like Jeff Bezos because they create jobs and lift more people out of poverty .
I could go on and on about this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is that capitalism is the only system that really lifts people out of poverty on a massive scale and allows many to live middle class and upper class lives .
To throw that out in place of whatever socialist system AOC is proposing would turn us into the Soviet Union or , even worse , Venezuela .

Here’s more from Fox 5 DC:
The Trump administration on Thursday imposed new visa rules aimed at restricting “birth tourism,” in which women travel to the United States to give birth so their children can have U.S. citizenship.
Applicants will be denied a tourist visa unless they can prove they must come to the U.S. to give birth for medical reasons and they have money to pay for it — not just because they want their child to have a passport.
“Closing this glaring immigration loophole will combat these endemic abuses and ultimately protect the United States from the national security risks created by this practice,” White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said in a statement. “It will also defend American taxpayers from having their hard-earned dollars siphoned away to finance the direct and downstream costs associated with birth tourism.

therightscoop--2020-01-23--WATCH: Angry father confronts Elizabeth Warren about her irresponsible student loan program

Elizabeth Warren was confronted by an angry father on the campaign trail over her unfair and irresponsible student loan program that seeks to eliminate student loans for most of America .
A father confronted Elizabeth Warren about her plan to forgive student loan debt in a tense face-to-face conversation , asserting that those who paid for college tuition themselves would get “ screwed ” under her proposal .
“ I just wanted to ask one question .
My daughter is getting out of school .
I ’ ve saved all my money .
She doesn ’ t have any student @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my money back ?
” the man in an embroidered leather jacket asked Warren .
“ So you ’ re going to pay for people who didn ’ t save any money and those of us who did the right thing get screwed , ” he said .
During the confrontation Monday , Warren protested , communicating that no one would get “ screwed.
” “ Of course we did .
My buddy had fun , bought a car , went on vacations .
I saved my money , ” he said .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
But I worked a double shift , worked extra — my daughter worked since she was 10 .
So , you ’ re laughing.
” “ Yeah , that ’ s exactly what you ’ re doing , ” he said .
“ We did the right thing , and we get screwed , ” he added , before walking away from the photo line without a photo .
“ I appreciate your time , ” Warren said .
Oh she ’ s laughing , all the way to the election booth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bribe for votes .
But then most Democrat plans are just bribes when you think about it .
It reminds me of an evil warrior race in Star Trek Deep Space Nine called the Jem ’ Hadar , who were created by a separate race of shape shifters for conquest .
The Jem ’ Hadar were made to rely upon this white liquid substance for their survival , that only their shape-shifting ‘ founders ’ would make and give them .
It kept them compliant and dependent on their ‘ founders ’ , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how the Democrat entitlement mindset works .
Convince people to rely on Democrat-made entitlement programs so that they will keep voting Democrats into power .
But back to the father , he ’ s exactly right about the unfairness of Warren ’ s plan .
He and many other hard working Americans , who try to do the right thing , will get screwed while other less responsible people reap all the benefits .
And what makes it even worse is that this father ’ s own tax money , which he worked @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for the student loans of his irresponsible neighbor .
Ain ’ t that a slap in the face .

Elizabeth Warren was confronted by an angry father on the campaign trail over her unfair and irresponsible student loan program that seeks to eliminate student loans for most of America.
Here’s more from DC Examiner:
A father confronted Elizabeth Warren about her plan to forgive student loan debt in a tense face-to-face conversation, asserting that those who paid for college tuition themselves would get “screwed” under her proposal. “I just wanted to ask one question. My daughter is getting out of school. I’ve saved all my money. She doesn’t have any student loans. Am I going to get my money back?” the man in an embroidered leather jacket asked Warren. “Of course not,” the Massachusetts senator, 70, responded. “So you’re going to pay for people who didn’t save any money and those of us who did the right thing get screwed,” he said. During the confrontation Monday, Warren protested, communicating that no one would get “screwed.” “Of course we did. My buddy had fun, bought a car, went on vacations.

Oh she’s laughing, all the way to the election booth because this is really just one big bribe for votes. But then most Democrat plans are just bribes when you think about it. It reminds me of an evil warrior race in Star Trek Deep Space Nine called the Jem’Hadar, who were created by a separate race of shape shifters for conquest. The Jem’Hadar were made to rely upon this white liquid substance for their survival, that only their shape-shifting ‘founders’ would make and give them. It kept them compliant and dependent on their ‘founders’, or they would die. This is how the Democrat entitlement mindset works. Convince people to rely on Democrat-made entitlement programs so that they will keep voting Democrats into power.
But back to the father, he’s exactly right about the unfairness of Warren’s plan. He and many other hard working Americans, who try to do the right thing, will get screwed while other less responsible people reap all the benefits. And what makes it even worse is that this father’s own tax money, which he worked hard for, will go to pay for the student loans of his irresponsible neighbor. Ain’t that a slap in the face.

There are a lot of unconfirmed reports, mostly from Spanish language news media, that there were three Al Qaeda terrorist members caught trying to get in to the U.S. with fake Colombian passports.
The 3 members of Al Qaeda were all Syrian nationals who had obtained false Colombian passports and attempted to travel to the US. They were arrested after trying to enter Dallas. They had travelled to Colombia by crossing the border from Venezuela into Colombia #Venezuela pic.twitter.com/DuhTqfk03D — CNW (@ConflictsW) January 23, 2020
These are supposed to be copies of the fake passports.

Now, I could see why government officials would be remiss to release details about catching terrorists at the border. ANd it would make sense that Spanish language reports would get this long before English media news outlets could confirm it. On the other hand, I could see this being completely untrue as well.
Here’s a Spanish language report, for those of you who can understand Espanol:

Joe Biden is out there telling people that some of the illegal aliens amnestied by Obama [illegally and unconstitutionally] are actually better Americans than the citizens who have legal status.
I just don’t get this bizarre preference for illegal aliens. They’re people. Some of them are decent people, some of them are bad people. You don’t have to elevate them in order to advocate for amnesty, but Biden can’t help himself of course. The opposite is true as well – we don’t have to exaggerate the damage that some illegals do in order to advocate for reasonable immigration policy. The truth is enough.
I have to think that the only way in which a Democrat actually believes a DACA recipient is better than the average citizen is that they’re much more willing to support Democrats than the average citizen. I mean, I guess he’s just being honest here?

What Hakeem Jeffries is doing in this clip is presenting a horrible situation in America’s history and then saying “but we made it to the other side”.
He starts with the civil war, then the Great Depression, and then mentions our fight with Nazi Germany in WWII. He mentions several other things, including the era of Jim Crow before he brings up 9/11 and how we had to fight terrorists. “But we made it to the other side.”
He then asks what will we do about Trump, who he falsely claims “tried to cheat and solicit foreign interference in an American election”, which he argues is an attack on our character, making it sound worse than all of the above. It’s pathetic, evil, and he owes Trump and the Senate an apology for making such absurd comparisons.

The MSM is just disgusting. CBSN, which is the online news stream from CBS News, refused to air Trump’s speech today at the March for Life. It was historic, but they didn’t care. What they did chose to run, in the same hour, was a softball interview with the head of Planned Parenthood:
Here’s more from Newsbusters:
The CBSN online channel didn’t provide live coverage of the president’s remarks to the March for Life on Friday — they mentioned it for a few seconds before leaping into more impeachment analysis. But in the minutes before impeachment coverage on Wednesday, they ran an exclusive interview from Davos, Switzerland with Planned Parenthood acting CEO Alexis McGill Johnson. Reporter Kate Smith wasn’t asking the tough questions.
So just to be clear, Newsbusters isn’t saying that they ran the Planned Parenthood interview in the place of Trump’s March for Life speech. But they still ran it in the hour before the impeachment trial began, which means they could’ve run Trump’s historic speech. But they didn’t.

therightscoop--2020-01-25--Former employee suing Applebee’s after she was fired for asking anti-Muslim customer to leave

OK this story takes all kinds of turns .
So there ’ s a customer making bigoted remarks about Muslims at an Applebee ’ s .
It ’ s a free country , but , if a business doesn ’ t want that in their restaurant , that ’ s their right .
She kicks him out , then she gets fired .
Now she ’ s suing : A New Jersey resident claims she lost her job at an Applebee ’ s Neighborhood Grill + Bar because she asked a bar customer to leave after other patrons complained about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in a lawsuit filed this week that she was harassed by her co-workers and managers after she removed a customer from an Applebee ’ s in Middletown after several families complained about the person ’ s loud comments against Muslims .
One customer reported hearing the bar patron describing Muslims as “ disgusting ” and saying that most are “ terrorists , ” according to the suit filed in Monmouth County superior court .
Not being there , it ’ s really tough to make absolute judgements .
Maybe the owner didn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ OK with people bothering other customers ?
Maybe she was rude to the customer as well .
We just don ’ t know .
But we do know that the restaurant is within its right to ask someone to leave and also to fire a server if they don ’ t act according to what the owner wishes .
The customer allegedly told Breaud that she viewed Applebee ’ s as a family restaurant and that if nothing were done to stop the bar patron ’ s rant , she would call the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the restaurant and another New Jersey Applebee ’ s , Breuad claims that after getting complaints from two other families , she asked the man to leave the restaurant .
According to the suit , Breaud was thanked for her action by other patrons , including one who left a message of gratitude on their receipt , writing : “ Thank you for standing up to hate and racism – thank you for your service.
” This is silly though : The manager eventually fired Breaud , who claims she was wrongfully terminated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the incident .
“ The retaliation experienced by our client has no place in a civilized society , and Applebee ’ s must be held to account for its failure to oppose racism in its restaurants and for violating our client ’ s rights , ” Breaud ’ s attorney , Christian McOmber , a partner at McOmber & McOmber stated .
“ We are proud of Ms. Breaud for her courage in standing against racism and in exposing the unacceptable conduct of Applebee ’ s Restaurants.
” “ Failure to oppose @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a law ?
NOPE .
They clearly just want to damage the restaurant with that crap .
And that kinda sounds like extortion .
So yeah , I dunno .
They could have acted wrongly if they treated her badly on her way out .
There are way worse accusations made in the video than in the article .
But they need to be proven in court .
An employer should be courteous and follow the law when it comes to their employees .
What do y ’ all think ?

therightscoop--2020-01-26--MSNBC host admits Dems failed to prove their case, and everyone flips out

This is pretty great .
Ari Melber actually told the MSNBC panel and their audience that the Democrats did not prove their case that Trump committed obstruction of Congress , and everyone flipped out .
Here ’ s what he said : “ What the Democrats are arguing is that , basically , something that began three months before they actually voted to impeach should now be resolved by the removal of the president , ” he added after being pushed by other panelists .
“ In every other case , including Nixon , we know the rule has been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the law , is allowed to deny , and , yes , quote , defy , all the way up until the Supreme Court , which takes often more than a year.
” Melber concluded , “ So is there enough evidence to support the immediate removal of a president , three months and you ’ re gone as a precedent , I haven ’ t seen them land that.
” Yeah , they didn ’ t like that one bit .
Chris Matthews didn ’ t even address what he said , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ tyrant and George Washington or something .

Idiots .
Well that was fun .

This is pretty great. Ari Melber actually told the MSNBC panel and their audience that the Democrats did not prove their case that Trump committed obstruction of Congress, and everyone flipped out.
Here’s what he said:
“What the Democrats are arguing is that, basically, something that began three months before they actually voted to impeach should now be resolved by the removal of the president,” he added after being pushed by other panelists. “In every other case, including Nixon, we know the rule has been the president is allowed to fight within the law, is allowed to deny, and, yes, quote, defy, all the way up until the Supreme Court, which takes often more than a year.” Melber concluded, “So is there enough evidence to support the immediate removal of a president, three months and you’re gone as a precedent, I haven’t seen them land that.”
Yeah, they didn’t like that one bit. Chris Matthews didn’t even address what he said, but rambled on about Trump being a tyrant and George Washington or something.
AND the viewers went even more nuts!
I don't know what the hell you're talking about @AriMelber. The Democrats have proved beyond a shadow of a doubt, Trump's guilt. You know why the Dems are pushing for removal, because they know he's a danger to us all. Stop the bullshit! 🤬#ImpeachmentHearings — NicholaResists #DemCastFL 🇺🇸 (@ToriRob11) January 25, 2020

FUCK YOU @AriMelber! NOT enough to convict on obstruction! You have lost this viewer forever! Go to Fox News hell! — Michelle hayhurst (@Michellehayhur7) January 25, 2020
Ari is being SO stupid right now. #thebeat The case hasn't been made? Is he in a coma that allows him to still speak? Christ Almighty, get your head out of your ass. @AriMelber — Tsquared (@thatsal49868227) January 25, 2020

Go play your rap music!

therightscoop--2020-01-26--Dem panic poll: Trump approval up 6%, disapproval rating is way down too

This is a poll that should make Democrats panic – Trump ’ s approval is way up and his disapproval rate is way down .
From ABC News : Forty-four percent now approve of Trump ’ s performance in office ; 51 % disapprove , maintaining his position as the first president in modern history never to achieve majority approval .
That said , bolstered by the economy , his approval is up 6 % since late October , with disapproval down 7 points to a new low .
It has some bad news for Trump – it says two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in the Senate trial : Two-thirds of Americans in a new ABC News/Washington Post poll say the U.S. Senate should call new witnesses at Donald Trump ’ s impeachment trial , and the public is divided on his removal from office – even as Trump ’ s approval rating has rallied to match his career high .
Look at this graph , like Nickleback says : It would be better if he was above the halfway mark , but what does it say about the Democrats ’ case if his approval is zooming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ recent weeks ?
Nothing good , trust me… This one is important too .
While many more Americans want to see new witnesses , more want to see Trump stay in office than those that want him removed .

In this great video clip, Norah O’Donnell is visibly stunned by the fact that Bernie Sanders has zero clue how much his socialist pipe dreams are gonna cost the American people.

I’m glad she had that reaction because it is appropriate. Of course, for those of us who watch politics closely we know that this absolutely normal for Democrats who demand insane socialist policies and have zero idea what those policies will cost, despite that literally being their damn job.
He doesn’t know what it will cost the economy, he doesn’t know how many jobs it will cost, he doesn’t give a damn about how much misery it’ll cost. Because socialism isn’t driven by reason, it’s driven by irrational emotional and wishful thinking. And he proves it here.
Here’s the full video of the interview:
It looks like there’s an outside chance he really could be the Democrats’ nominee. Hold on to your wallets, people….

Here’s Magpies Haberman admitting the White House defense has been effective:
….and that the impeachment is all politics.
Now these are all cut by the GOP “war room” so if there are caveats here, they very swiftly cut them out of their clips. But I think this is generally on the nose. The people who hate Trump hate him even more and the people who love him now love him even more. And that’s about it.
Might as well pile on with this poll from yesterday showing that Trump’s approval rating actually went up, and his disapproval rating went dowwwwwn….

Well this is awkward. Rashida Tlaib was caught spreading a BS story about Jews killing a Palestinian boy, because she just loves those stories too much to check if they’re true or not.
Seriously @RashidaTlaib? There is no basis whatsoever there was any foul play. In fact, Israelis were involved in the search for the boy. This was a tragic case of a child who went missing and fell into pool of rainwater. Have you no shame in reposting these lies? pic.twitter.com/jhDIBcTa5Q — Arsen Ostrovsky (@Ostrov_A) January 25, 2020

Really not on for Rashida Tlaib to be spreading a story claiming a "herd" of Jews have kidnapped and murdered a Muslim boy a stuffed him down a well.

I mean, we all know that the only way this is gonna get any press is if someone accidentally publishes an “R” next to her name instead of a “D.” No one cares when anti-Semitism comes from a Democrat, it’s kinda baked in the cake really.

Breaking! Bolton reportedly links Trump to Ukraine in his book, Dems pounce and demand testimony [Updated]

The New York Times is reporting that John Bolton ’ s book will implicate el Presidente as tying military aid to Ukraine to investigating the Bidens .
Here we go : President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $ 391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens , according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser , John R. Bolton .
The president ’ s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense : @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from Mr. Trump ’ s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies , including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden , who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office .
Mr. Bolton ’ s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump ’ s impeachment trial , the third in American history , was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates .
He also sent a draft to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ process for some current and former administration officials who write books .
Multiple people described Mr. Bolton ’ s account of the Ukraine affair .
I can see people are crapping on this because it ’ s from the New York Times , but it kinda fits with what we ’ ve heard out of Bolton , right ?
There ’ s that quote about Giuliani ’ s “ drug deal , ” which also could be complete bunk .
Anyway the Dems are POUNCING on this report to demand Bolton ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shall see if this report is true , and what comes out of it .
This is very interesting .
Bolton ’ s spokesperson isn ’ t denying the report , but implying that if there was any leak from the book , it would have to come from the White House ?
!
Or maybe the NSC , which doesn ’ t really like Trump : I dunno .
What do you make of that ?
Is that a roundabout way of denying the report ?
If so , why not just @ @ @ @ @ @ @ m not sure what to make of Bolton since his exit from the administration… And now a statement from Bolton ’ s lawyer :

The New York Times is reporting that John Bolton’s book will implicate el Presidente as tying military aid to Ukraine to investigating the Bidens.
Breaking News: President Trump said he wanted to keep aid to Ukraine frozen until its officials helped him with investigations into Democrats, John Bolton wrote in an unpublished manuscript of a new book https://t.co/J1tJ5oPZAY — The New York Times (@nytimes) January 26, 2020
Here we go:
President Trump told his national security adviser in August that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats including the Bidens, according to an unpublished manuscript by the former adviser, John R. Bolton. The president’s statement as described by Mr. Bolton could undercut a key element of his impeachment defense: that the holdup in aid was separate from Mr. Trump’s requests that Ukraine announce investigations into his perceived enemies, including former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his son Hunter Biden, who had worked for a Ukrainian energy firm while his father was in office. Mr. Bolton’s explosive account of the matter at the center of Mr. Trump’s impeachment trial, the third in American history, was included in drafts of a manuscript he has circulated in recent weeks to close associates. He also sent a draft to the White House for a standard review process for some current and former administration officials who write books. Multiple people described Mr. Bolton’s account of the Ukraine affair.
I can see people are crapping on this because it’s from the New York Times, but it kinda fits with what we’ve heard out of Bolton, right? There’s that quote about Giuliani’s “drug deal,” which also could be complete bunk.
Anyway the Dems are POUNCING on this report to demand Bolton’s testimony for the trial:
JUST IN: House manager Rep. Schiff reacts to this new NYTimes report:
"If the trial is to be fair, Senators must insist that Mr. Bolton be called as a witness, and provide his notes and other documents." https://t.co/wkwThoemlN — MSNBC (@MSNBC) January 27, 2020
Amb. Bolton reportedly heard directly from Trump that aid for Ukraine was tied to political investigations.
The refusal of the Senate to call for him, other relevant witnesses, and documents is now even more indefensible.
The choice is clear: our Constitution, or a cover-up. https://t.co/HBW82ObvOl — Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 27, 2020
Update – here’s Schumer’s tweet:
John Bolton has the evidence.
It’s up to four Senate Republicans to ensure that John Bolton, Mick Mulvaney, and the others with direct knowledge of President Trump’s actions testify in the Senate trial.https://t.co/JbazBaYdRU — Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) January 26, 2020
So we shall see if this report is true, and what comes out of it.
UPDATE!!
This is very interesting. Bolton’s spokesperson isn’t denying the report, but implying that if there was any leak from the book, it would have to come from the White House?! Or maybe the NSC, which doesn’t really like Trump:
New from John Bolton aide Sarah Tinsley: “Several weeks ago, the ambassador sent a hard copy of his draft manuscript to the White House for prepublication review by the National Security Council. The ambassador has not passed that manuscript to anyone else for review. Period.” — Geoff Bennett (@GeoffRBennett) January 27, 2020
I dunno. What do you make of that? Is that a roundabout way of denying the report? If so, why not just deny it? Honestly, I’m not sure what to make of Bolton since his exit from the administration…
UPDATE!!
And now a statement from Bolton’s lawyer:

While everyone else is focused on the death of Kobe Bryant , it looks like Iran has struck the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad .
From Bloomberg News : Five Katyusha rockets were fired at the fortified Green Zone in Baghdad Sunday night , targeting the U.S. embassy compound there , Iraq ’ s security forces reported .
No injuries were reported but one of the rockets directly hit the embassy building itself .
Attacks against the Green Zone and the U.S. embassy in Baghdad by Iran-linked militia groups have increased in recent months , especially after the U.S. airstrike earlier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ top commander Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis , the head of Iran-backed militia Kataib Hezbollah .
Outgoing Prime Minister Adil Abd al-Mahdi condemned the attack , vowing to protect the diplomatic missions in the country .
Hopefully there won ’ t be any serious injuries or casualties from the attack .
We suspected that Iran would not be satisfied with the missile attack after Trump authorized a drone strike on General Soleimani .
I wouldn ’ t be surprised if this wasn ’ t the end of the retaliation either .
And @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from an Al-Jazeera journalist : Could be really important , or not at all .
We will find out soon .
I ’ m seeing a report of casualties , but not from a trustworthy source , best to wait on that one .

therightscoop--2020-01-28--REPORT: GOP Senator working on deal to call only two witnesses…

It ’ s starting to look like we ’ re gon na have witnesses , at least two of them : DC EXAMINER – An influential Republican senator has spoken with several of his GOP colleagues in recent days about making a deal with Senate Democrats to call just two witnesses in President Trump ’ s impeachment trial .
Sen. Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania told his colleagues that a “ one-for-one ” deal with Senate Democrats might be necessary , especially as pressure builds for witness testimony , according to the Washington Post .
Toomey has discussed the proposal with @ @ @ @ @ @ @ well as others .
Two Senate Republican aides said Romney was generally supportive of the proposal but had not yet backed any specific plan .
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has thus far not been open to the potential deal , telling Senate Republicans to hold off on any witness deal until after Trump ’ s defense team is done making its case .
I ’ m really not happy about calling any witnesses , as you know .
I ’ ve been against them from the beginning .
But if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , it needs to be as few a number as possible .
Honestly I ’ m not sure what good it ’ s going to do to call Bolton , because he ’ ll be quite limited in what he can say due to executive privilege .
And I assume the other witness would be Hunter Biden , and I fully expect him to pull a Lois Lerner and plead the fifth .
How this ends I don ’ t know .
But I ’ ll update you when I get more on @ @

It’s starting to look like we’re gonna have witnesses, at least two of them:
DC EXAMINER – An influential Republican senator has spoken with several of his GOP colleagues in recent days about making a deal with Senate Democrats to call just two witnesses in President Trump’s impeachment trial. Sen. Patrick Toomey of Pennsylvania told his colleagues that a “one-for-one” deal with Senate Democrats might be necessary, especially as pressure builds for witness testimony, according to the Washington Post. Toomey has discussed the proposal with Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah as well as others. Two Senate Republican aides said Romney was generally supportive of the proposal but had not yet backed any specific plan. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has thus far not been open to the potential deal, telling Senate Republicans to hold off on any witness deal until after Trump’s defense team is done making its case.
I’m really not happy about calling any witnesses, as you know. I’ve been against them from the beginning. But if we’re gonna call any, it needs to be as few a number as possible.
Honestly I’m not sure what good it’s going to do to call Bolton, because he’ll be quite limited in what he can say due to executive privilege. And I assume the other witness would be Hunter Biden, and I fully expect him to pull a Lois Lerner and plead the fifth.
How this ends I don’t know. But I’ll update you when I get more on this.
