the Democrats finally wrapped up their case

in the impeachment trial of President Donald Jolene Trump.

one, this is just a political attack by the Democrats;

and three, there are no first-hand witnesses

And that last one is pretty ballsy, right?

when you're the ones blocking the eyewitnesses?

Right? It's a pretty slick move. You can't have it both ways.

It's like, if you're a vegan, you can't complain

about all the chickpeas in your life, okay?

Now you just got to stay quiet, except for all the farts.

But now, this is where it gets interesting.

making that argument about witnesses, we got some big news

from someone who Democrats have been trying to get to testify

You see... the White House has been terrified

Former national security advisor John Bolton

as news leaks from his explosive new book

about what he claims really happened with Ukraine.

that he wanted to continue freezing $391 million

until officials there helped with investigations

President Trump signaling that he is going to paint

John Bolton as a disgruntled former employee.

Take a look at his tweet from earlier today-- he says:

Because we now know that if Bolton testifies

he would say that Trump personally told him

This is the heart of the entire impeachment thing.

So I don't know how Senate Republicans can justify

Imagine an eyewitness to a murder wanted to testify,

You know, just like, "Your Honor, I-I-I saw this man,

He'd be like, "Up-bup-bup-bup. No spoilers, no spoilers.

And by the way, is Trump... is Trump really gonna argue

that John Bolton is just another disgruntled employee?

he sure seems to have a lot of "disgruntled employees."

Like, how come nobody ever leaves the White House gruntled?

-(laughter) -Hmm? Just like, "Thank you, Mr. President.

I am so gruntled to have worked with you."

So, Bolton's book has thrown a big, hairy curveball

But believe or not, the Bolton revelations

aren't the only big new piece of evidence.

after Parnas said that he worked for Trump

Trump repeatedly claimed he has no idea who this man is.

That's even though they've appeared in more photos together

Well, it turns out Parnas has the receipts.

the release of an explosive new audiotape

NEWSMAN: On the tape, a voice identified as Parnas

can be heard telling Trump that the ambassador to Ukraine

-PRESIDENT TRUMP: Really? It's incredible. -(laughter)

but on the tape they talk in detail about Ukraine.

White House Press Secretary Stephanie Grisham said

the gathering doesn't mean the president knew of
