Is that the new spin. Wasn't it just a few days ago turtle dick said he had the votes to start the trial and then never had a vote?
They realized it was bad for the brand if they didn't wait for the Democrats to send over the articles.
Plus there was the John Bolton thing. In fact, according to some blue check marks the Democrats are still looking into ways to get John Bolton to testify.
Ideas floated are to have him testify in another setting so even if it isn't part of the official proceedings it will be a thing that's out there that could influence the trial.
A bunch of Republicans like Romney have said that a Bolton testimony could be game changing but it smells like a trap like the Lewandowski thing.
Nintex says: Democrats shouldn't have limited the impeachment trial to just this phone call. But open a broader investigation into a variety of subjects. Like exactly how the Saudi's pay Trump in cash or why American troops in Syria were pulled away from vital objectives to patrol oil fields with the Russians instead. How come the decision making of vital matters of national security has been moved from Camp David to the Mar-a-Lago. How and why Jared Kushner warned MBS of a palace coup and how he and Ivanka made $80 million last year. Make it seem like repeated behavior and just keep this thing simmering in the background driving Trump up the wall instead of zooming on just this one thing like they did with Russia! Russia! Russia!
