Using Obama and Clinton sins doesn’t exonerate Trump sins. That’s a fallacy.

Maybe the NYT has it wrong, but at this point my bet is they’ve done their homework, and Bolton is ready to tell all.
A statement like this can’t be explained away as a “parallel aside” since there were so many accounts of the expectations. Bolton’s notes may turn out to be this impeachment’s smoking gun.

Some of his country will turn their backs. In all honesty, the Trump base didn’t buy into Bolton’s hawkish turn all that much, so I can’t see him losing many friends.

Trump’s actions are not what he was sent to office to do. There is no way I can believe any of his voters wanted him to dangle military aid over a struggling country until they opened an investigation into his rival in the next election. No American wants that to happen, because that action undermines our elections and allows a foreign nation to intervene.

I still believe the huge issue remains that Trump knew this was going to hit. Supporters have been campaigning and twisting themselves into pretzels to prohibit witnesses and protect the president just to be duped at the last minute by POTUS himself.
