@no1marauder saidAgreed, I decided to ignore that to keep my post simple. He could legally threaten future military aid.
The GAO has already established that Trump broke the 1974 Impoundment Act by withholding the aid. https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/478557-gao-finds-trump-administration-broke-law-by-withholding-aid-from

@no1marauder saidthe intelligence committee is conducting the inquiry...duh!
Michael Atkinson gave a briefing to the Intelligence Committee, not to the impeachment inquiry. That briefing is classified, as are virtually all briefings given to the House Intelligence Committee.

@no1marauder saidSondland testified Trump told him “I want nothing, no quid quo pro”. after threats to Sondlands businesses he started PRESUMING
That's about as much "proof" as any accused person saying "I didn't do" after talking with his lawyers.
The "quid pro quo" has been established by several witnesses including Sondland and Bolton's revelation is additional proof.

@mott-the-hoople saidHey Skippy-
convenient timing ehh? Just another desperate attempt.
Trump's own former National Security Advisor just called Trump a liar, when Trump is on trial, and facing removal from office. It was the worst possible time for this news to come out. John Bolton has a lot of powerful friends in the GOP going back decades. Clearly someone in the GOP doesn't like Trump very much. If you knew how dumb you sound right now, you'd stop posting altogether.

That's amazing! - because Trump just called Bolton a liar. And Trump has some powerful GOP friends, too.

@mott-the-hoople saidNo, it isn't. The depositions were taken in front of members of several different committees as spelled out in the rules creating the impeachment inquiry.
the intelligence committee is conducting the inquiry...duh!

@earl-of-trumps saidFine. Put them both under oath, examine any relevant documents that might corroborate either's story as well as any witnesses with such information

@deepthought saidThe justice dept. indicted Russian operatives on charges of manipulating the 2016 election, from Russia. Why shouldn’t they be able to investigate corruption charges against an American operating in Ukraine?
Since any corrupt behaviour on Hunter Biden's behalf would have happened in the Ukraine it's not obvious to me that that is correct. It's not clear it's a matter for the justice department. It's normal for the aggrieved party to make a complaint which in this case would be the Ukrainian State as the specific corrupt behaviour concerned money laundering on behalf of the ...[text shortened]... her there was any truth in the allegations of corruption he could rely on some of that mud sticking.
Announcing an investigation is pretty stupid, if you want to catch a thief. Announcing an investigation just gives the suspects chance to destroy evidence. That is exactly what debunks Trump’s claim that he was interested in combating corruption.

@no1marauder...What, the right wing hawk telling the truth? Yes, I believe he is....He is no friend of Hillary Clinton or Democrats in general, but may be a man of honor who speaks the truth.....Ya'
think?...Bolton is an old Washington insider and he has no axe to grind...........In fact, Bolton has far, more to lose than to gain, politically.
