OMG! He wrote a book!
Bolton seems determined to tell what he knows about Ukraine-Gate.
So far, press reports regarding his new book indicate that he has personal knowledge that Trump ordered cash for the defence of Ukraine withheld until an investigation by Ukraine of the Biden's was announced.
Crime or not, this essentially destroys Trump's defence, which is that his phone call to Zelensky was "perfect" and he did nothing wrong.
About 20 other people have confirming the story of "no investigation, no cash" via their sworn testimony, but Bolton is different. He is a conservatives' Conservative. What he has to say matters, which is why Republicans do NOT want him to testify.
Bolton clearly puts something above his loyalty to Trump. That "something" may be respect for tradition, the law, and his love of country - things that used to animate every true conservative.
His book may be available to be read into the record in the Senate. If this is the case, the Republicans may have to call contrary evidence to rebut Bolton, perhaps in the form of testimony from Giuliani.
This Giuliani...

I think it is now clear that Trump used his office to try to get a foreign government to investigate a political rival. Given this essentially reality, Trump would have to show that asking for that investigation was legitimate - that the Bidens are corrupt and took massive bribes in Ukraine.
But no one in the US security or criminal investigation establishment is claiming this. Here is what the New York Times says Biden did in Ukraine...

Trump will not go down without a fight so get ready for the Rudy Giuliani Show!!!
Giuliani now claims that Biden took $8 Million in bribes in Ukraine. If he can't prove it - and he likely has to prove it in the US Senate - Trump could now be in very big trouble.
Wow....
