What to expect

Look for every member of Trump’s defense team to stand up and say something. Trump’s defense team is basically a white people’s Wu-Tang Clan of embarrassment, including Pam Bondi, Pat Cipollone, Alan Dershowitz, Eric Herschmann, Jane Raskin, Robert Ray, Jay Sekulow, and Ken Starr. They’ve all spoken. All. Of. Them. And they’re all exhausting. But Bolton might speed things along because his booketh got them shooketh. A Republican close to Trump’s legal team told NBC News, “Bolton news makes those who wanted to vote for witnesses a lot less resolved. It makes the task for the Trump defense team more important to keep this moving quickly and be done this week.”

NBC News also notes that the National Security Council was given a single hard copy of Bolton’s book a month ago but, get this...wait for it...they don’t know where the book is. Bolton submitted the book to the White House in good faith and while the book can’t be found, it appears that copies were made. Bolton reportedly won’t be talking about Ukraine publicly until his testifying issues are resolved.
