Parnas says everybody knew... including Pence. On Bolton, he says that between the two of them they can connect all the dots. And Bolton was the only one who didn't like what was going on, so he is unlikely to take Trump's side (because of his approval of Trump assassinating Soleimani), especially in light of the Parnas evidence (my opinion).

Will this, and the deeper crap that is sure to evolve out of it, turn enough Senators to result in a conviction? It just might... The path to losing the next election by sticking with the King of Korruption is becoming increasingly plain.

Rick Wilson, former top GOP strategists says, "Right now there are three categories of Republicans. A fairly small fraction of them, like a third maybe, really believe in this crap. Really believe that Trumpism is the new way. They treat him as a king. A third of the Republicans are terrified of the guy. They are so scared of a tweet that they hide under their covers every day. And a third of them are like opportunists. They want the judges, they want the regulations for their donors, that sort of crap."

They also want to keep their jobs.
