Steve Benson for November 25, 2019

“What, and chance ruining my chances for a job at fox?”

Not the “hero” we need but that we’re stuck with. The guy has been about the last person I’d want to see in his job but even the Nixon umbers had a shred of conscience once in a blue moon.

Bolton will appear before congress if he is safely protect by subpoena (they made me do it) or it is profitable (helps sell some books). He seems to be just waiting to make his mark in history by being the one that brought down a President without getting his skirts muddy.

You have to make it worth his while.

Sbenson calling on a former Trump staffer to testify? Another sign of the apocalypse.

He’s not only a peddler, he’s an enabler.

Is it REALLY SCARY that “Bomb-Em-All” Bolton is THE SANE ONE????

Expecting a sworn Republican to be patriotic is really a stretch given the current political climate.

Expecting any one of those trumplicans to be a patriot is an exercise in futility. There isn’t a shred of honor or decency among them

Typical Republican Capitalist, would rather sell his book than help the USA.

Sage advice for anyone.

Will he or won’t he. THAT is the question.

He’s a Republican! When did you ever see a Republican do something for someone else, especially their country?

Think of Cheney becoming CEO of Halliburton.

I wonder if he’s saving it for his book for the $$$$

I agree with Mr Benson. Bolton, if you don’t show up and tell the truth, may you be cast out and reviled by history forever. People will stop by your tomb to relieve themselves.

It’s time for chicken$h—, I mean chickenhawk Bolton to woman up and testify like those that worked for him.

More mustache than courage?

Great toon and I hope you sent this to Bomb Bomb Bolton, Mr. Benson.

This comment is not about Bolton, but it is about impeachment, and I plan to repeat it at “more relevant” points in the future.

Reading an opinion article in the Washington Post, https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/26/trump-keeps-claiming-hes-king-courts-keep-telling-him-hes-not/, I noted the following statement:

“…if the administration plays the system by dragging things out, Trump could prevent his aides from testifying until a point at which it might not matter anymore.”

In fact, it could still matter greatly!

The Constitution (Article I. Section 3.) says, “Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States….”

But that “disqualification” could be very important, even if the judgement is not handed down until after Trump has left office. I.e., if he is not removed from office before the 2020 election, but loses the election, such a “disqualification” would prevent him from running again or holding any official position in the future, whereas a simple dropping of the case would not.

And interestingly enough, the Constitution does not say that either a trial upon impeachment or even an impeachment investigation must necessarily be completed — or even begun — while the person at issue is officially an officeholder.

I believe this is a very important point. If you agree, please make sure your Senators and Representatives are aware of it.

And everyone else, of course.
