Irish oddsmaker gives 33% chance Trump will be impeached

[robkelk]

Well, tonight's closing argument was that Trump shouldn't be impeached, Obama is the one who should really be impeached.  So there's that.  Earlier in the day they concentrated on how there wasn't enough evidence to impeach, which Democrats think is a good supporting argument to call witnesses.  One attorney said it was a perfect phone call, another said it was an "almost-perfect phone call".  Let's see if the defense can manage to do better tomorrow.

Oh, and John Bolton's new book says Trump totally did it.

i do believe you are taking what was said out of context again Labster, what the argument was was that if anyone SHOULD have been impeached by these low standards that the democrats have set, it should have been Obama

Either way, it's a deflection tactic and a logical fallacy, and would have been ruled inadmissible in an impartial court of law.

If that's the best the GOP is going to bother offering, then they're making it obvious that the fix is in.

As to Bolton's book, what we have are leaks from a NSC reviewer, not actual quotes from the book, no context what-so-ever, and all from an "anonymous source" you would think that after being stabbed in the back by all their anonymous sources that the NY Times would learn, but no, it is forever "Orange Mad Bad" maybe they should have been the ones at the women's march this year singing "We won't live with a fascist tangerine"

It's enough to get Mitt Ronmey talking about getting Bolton to testify in front of the Senate.
