    I guess he should have told the Chinese NOW WAY I can sign a trade deal with you helping our farmers if it might help my reelection.

    The Trump quote removed for national security reasons is being reported to be, “Make sure I win”.

    In reference to the Xi conversation.

    The best to come out of this episode is Trump simultaneously claiming the Bolton book to be all lies and also a national security issue.

    Yes, our national security secrets are lies. The stable genius is at it again.

    If this guy didn’t come off so dumb I’d swear he was a foreign government plant, but again they could believe we’re so incredibly stupid we wouldn’t notice.

    Regardless, our adversaries are getting what they want. Absolute chaos in this country.

    So your proof that he lied is that you don’t like what he said. Got it.

    In 2010 Fox Interview, John Bolton Confessed He Would ‘Absolutely’ Lie About National Security Matters

    He lied then, is he lying now?

    THAT's your "list of people" contradicting Bolton??

    But that article IS priceless... thanks for it..

    SNIP
    John Bolton stated that he would have no problem lying to the public if he thought it was necessary to protect national security.
    ENDSNIP

    Is that was he's being accused of?? PROTECTING National Security or EXPOSING National Security??

    Not necessarily....

    Here's Pompeo's "review" of Trump's call with Zelensky

    SNIP
    "It's what our team, including Ambassador (Kurt) Volker, were focused on was taking down the threat that Russia poses there in Ukraine. It was about helping the Ukrainians to get graft out and corruption outside of their government and to help now this new government in the Ukraine build a successful thriving economy. It's what the State Department officials that I've had the privilege to lead have been engaged in. And it's what we will continue to do. Even while all this noise is going on."

    Anybody in the world is capable of not hearing what's ACTUALLY going on if they don't want to..

    What he said is correct. Trump wanted the Ukraine government to get rid of the corruption from the previous administration. That is why the money was held up. Trump did his job to get assurance the money would be spent properly

    And yet, his own administration and a bipartisan impeachment didn't see it that way...

    Bob's problem isn't that he doesn't get it. Bob's problem is that he can't sell it!

    There was no bipartisan impeachment it was all democrats. He was found innocent of all impeachment charges. Another democrat witch hunt fails/ Now the democrats will use racism and the China virus. The democrats show they are corrupt liars with no credibility integrity

    The senator said he believed the House proved its case that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in military aid last year in part to pressure Ukraine into investigating his political rivals, notably former Vice President Joe Biden. But that act, while “inappropriate,” was not impeachable, he said.

    It takes all kinds of idiocy to make a world.... What would we do if we didn't have stupid people? How would the smart people know who they were?

    You can believe a self-admitted liar if it makes you feel better.

    Trump asked China to help him win 2020 election

    He is certainly barking up the wrong tree. Xi is likely to help Biden.

    LOL... you must be one of the few people who hasn't read Bolton's book yet...

    SNIP
    Xi at one point told Trump he wanted to work with him for six more years, suggesting he was hopeful the former real estate tycoon would be re-elected in 2020, according to the excerpt. When Trump said his son-in-law Jared Kushner – who had worked previously with Chinese investors and established backchannels with China on trade – would be involved in follow-up trade discussions, “all the Chinese perked up and smiled”.

    Political people say the darndest things, don't they? I will remain one of the few people who hasn't read Bolton's book. Almost anything would be worth more of my time.

    There was a new administration coming for the Ukraine. The old one was corrupt. Trump waited to make sure the new administration would use the money correctly. This is a common practice
