I don't think Bolton is exactly refusing to testify.  He's trying to remain loyal but I think probably wants to testify.  He's said that if a court will tell him to go, he'll go.  I suspect he almost hopes the court rules that he has to testify, but he's nervous about defying Trump's orders not to.  That's my take.

Even though yesterday he said that if he is subpoenaed he'd sue?

I've not seen or heard that reported anywhere, and I have political news on constantly.  I've only heard that he says he'll not give willful testimony but if a court rules that his counterpart needs to testify, then he'll take that as a signal that he needs to testify, too.

Because she does.  You know you wanna do her...or him.

I wouldn't fuck her with Bea Arthur's dick.

Strangely, I don't find her unattractive from a purely visual aspect.  I want to hurl every time I see her, but I assume it's because I can't stand her or the bullshit coming out of her gross mouth.  However, it she were espousing the pinko commie ideologies that I love, I might see her as mildly attractive.

I can't imagine that he'd manipulate the situation in Trump's favor.  I suppose anything's possible, but it seems that there has been testimony corroborated by more than one person so would he perjure himself?

And if you ever wondered if the GOP had the least bit of morality, you need look no further than Jim Jordan...who has been "promoted" in the impeachment proceedings, just as he has another accuser claiming he covered for the sexual deviant/rapist at Ohio.

Yeah, that's quite a mess.  Dude knew exactly what was going on and swept it under the rug, just like Paterno did regarding Sandusky.  I'm utterly shocked every day at the moral and ethical depths to which this party is willing to sink in full view of the world.  I don't expect much out of them, but you'd think they'd care more about their image in public.

And you can't even write that stuff off as "a different time" like you can with other things.  Elvis would be considered a pedophile if he went after Priscilla in this day and age.  But these guys knew exactly what they were doing, and they covered it up specifically because it was wrong, not because they didn't think it was wrong.  I think the parallel I make is the USA Gymnastics doctor, Larry Nassar, more so than Sandusky...or maybe that's just because it was more recent.  On Twitter, there were many tweets suggesting that anytime Jordan asks a question, the witness should ask about what he knew about the predator he covered for.  I know that the witnesses couldn't make such comments without risking that their testimony wouldn't be taken seriously, but if I'm a dem on any of those committees, I'm making those comments to the press each and every day at the close of that day's hearing. 

And that Dr. Fiona Hill...she's going to be a tough witness, if they decide to call her.  She couldn't be tripped up at her closed door hearing, as much as they tried.

And what about the footage after Bannon's testimony today at the Roger Stone trial?  He admits that the Trump campaign had hired Roger Stone because he was their channel to the stolen e-mails.  How anyone considers the Trump family anything outside of the total grifters that they are boggles the mind.
