From a purely strategic standpoint, I don’t agree with GOP here — IMO once


whatever Bolton has to say comes out - if it’s super bad - it’ll hurt Trump and Senate Republicans AND they have no way to cross examine him — Bolton controls the narrative. IMO what they should’ve done is struck a deal with Dems for one single witness - John Bolton. Going after Biden - some kind of horse trade for Bolton - just isn't worth it IMO. Biden has shown he doesn’t have what it takes to win, unfortunately. Allowing in the main witness that Dems removes any “sham trial” narrative and forces the Dems to make the case that Trump should be removed by Congress (which is objectively much tougher than making the case for witnesses).
