Pelosi Could Hold Articles Of Impeachment And Have Bolton Testify In The House

Benjamin Wittes explained on Twitter:








Pelosi has options. Mitch McConnell says he has the votes for his sham impeachment trial, but the one thing that he doesn’t have are the articles of impeachment. McConnell can’t do anything until Pelosi turns them over. It would be beneficial for the country to hear what John Bolton has to say.

Speaker Pelosi can have Bolton subpoenaed in the House, and his testimony can be added to the evidence at the Senate trial. McConnell tipped his hand too soon. Nancy Pelosi has the power, and unless McConnell wants the articles of impeachment hanging over Trump’s head during the election, he is going to need to make a deal. - PoliticusUSA

If you're viewing this on your smartphone/tablet, just go to the link for the tweet chain.

And 'we the people' need to bring the business cycle to a standstill, a general strike if you will, until the ethically bankrupt conservatives do what they were elected to do!!

He put it back into the Senate's hands to have him testify. I disagree.
