If senators don’t call John Bolton to testify in impeachment trial, they are ‘traitors’ | Letter to the editor

What kind of judge and jury would refuse to look at and listen to evidence that a highly credible and highly regarded government servant offers when he stands up and says he has an eye-witness account of the criminal behavior alleged by the prosecution?

I’ll tell you. Only a corrupt judge and jury would do that, where the fix is in. If senators refuse to subpoena John Bolton to testify to what he knows about President Trump soliciting a foreign country’s help to damage rival Joe Biden in the year of the election, with guns to their heads while he holds out their survival in front of them, there is only one answer.

Such a judge and jury are in on the crime and cover-up Trump and his cohorts are accused of perpetrating. The Senate must subpoena John Bolton to testify. Those that oppose it will live in infamy as betrayers, guilty of the worst kind of treachery, traitors to their country and countrymen.
