Trump told Bolton in August he wanted to hold the security assistance until Ukraine officials helped with investigations in to the Bidens.
There you go, @SenateGOP, another first hand witness.
@SenateGOP And Lordy there are notes ⤵️
There you go, @SenateGOP. Documentary evidence.
No surprise, Trump ordered Bolton "and other key officials with first hand knowledge of Trump's dealings not to cooperate."

@SenateGOP So, Trump orders first hand witnesses not to testify.
Trump's defense lawyers say, "there is no first hand evidence."
Are you OK with that, @SenateGOP?
Bolton said there are other "senior cabinet officials" who know more than they're telling.
More first hand witnesses!

@SenateGOP Bolton will testify that Barr lied about how soon he knew about Operation Ukraine Shakedown.
It's starting to look like the GOP is blocking witnesses to hide how deep the corruption goes.
He has some interesting things to say about Giuliani, too.

@SenateGOP So Bolton has evidence that Giuliani wanted Yovanovitch fired because her fight against corruption was hurting his clients⤵️
Okay, wait. These are the people saying Joe and Hunter Biden are corrupt?

@SenateGOP Here's where things get really crazy.
Trump didn't want to send assistance to Ukraine until they "turned over all materials they had about the Russian investigation that related to Mr. Biden and supporters of Mrs. Clinton in Ukraine."
Wait, what?

@SenateGOP Calling this a 'conspiracy theory' is inadequate. This is delusional.
I keep thinking of Shakespeare. Trump is like Trump is King Lear and Othello rolled into one. And Giuliani is Iago and the jealous sisters stirring the king to madness.
Why is Bolton leaking this now?⤵️

@SenateGOP Apparently the White House knew about the contents of this book for a month, which raises the question of whether Trump's lawyers stood in the Senate chamber and knowingly told bald-faced lies.
(OK, we knew they were lying. But here's proof.)

@SenateGOP There is only one reason to refuse to hear witnesses: The @SenateGOP know that Sondland was right: "Everyone was in the loop."
They know that calling witnesses and examining documents will reveal the depth of corruption in the Republican Party.

@SenateGOP Here's the thing. The truth will come out, and it will come out before November.
Dear @SenateGOP: The party may as well come clean now.

@SenateGOP Also Rule 4.1 "Truthful statements."
I thought about adding these, but violating rules of professional conduct seems so trivial compared to selling foreign policy for personal gain, and firing a US ambassador so the president's lawyer can rob Ukraine.

@SenateGOP If you couldn't tell, I was using the "ironic understatement" font when I typed this in Tweet #3:
"It's starting to look like the GOP is blocking witnesses to hide how deep the corruption goes."
