After the lightning bolt of the Bolton draft, it was completely surreal to sit on the Senate Floor & hear absolutely nothing about it.
The Starr presentation was highfalutin gobbledygook & gimmickry. The legal argument was total sophistry dressed up with a big name (although not one that gives it any credibility).
The White House lawyers seem to be in a bubble of denial—denial of the factual & legal reality. The rest of America is talking about John Bolton & the White House lawyers seem to ignore him.
After Bolton’s bombshell, we need to subpoena him this moment, not wait until the White House lawyers are done—& we should subpoena his book manuscript & notes.
