Trump plan won’t bring peace, helps Netanyahu, raises risk of binational state
https://www.timesofisrael.com/trump-plan-wont-bring-peace-helps-netanyahu-raises-risk-of-binational-state/
On one of the darkest days of Benjamin Netanyahu’s long and
lively career, Donald Trump handed him one of his greatest victories.
On Tuesday morning, the prime minister abandoned his doomed bid
to secure parliamentary immunity from prosecution in the three graft
cases against him, and shortly afterwards, the attorney-general formally
filed the charges at the Jerusalem District Court — giving Netanyahu
the unhappy distinction of becoming the first Israeli premier to be
indicted while in office.

This “Deal of the Century” should be welcomed, but it must be welcomed with a caveat: Israel first needs a government coalition before it can begin to implement it.

Hearing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu describe the contours of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan, one could easily feel a sense of deja vu.
The
broader ideas of the plan are similar to ones Netanyahu has long
touted. But there are key differences, most importantly of all that the
White House is behind his vision this time.
McConnell Tells Senators He Doesn't Have Enough Votes to Block New Witnesses After Trump Team's Closing Arguments

Senate
Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Tuesday privately told his
colleagues in the Senate that he doesn't have enough votes yet to block
new witness testimonies in the ongoing impeachment trial of President
Donald Trump.
After Trump's legal defense team made their closing
arguments earlier this afternoon, McConnell reportedly told people in a
closed-door meeting that he can't yet block witnesses, GOP sources
familiar with the conversation told AP and Fox Business.

They argued that in seeking to remove President Trump
less than a year before the national polls, Democrats were effectively
denying voters their chance to weigh in on his performance.
in other words as long as economy hasn't collapsed Trump can do anything without concern for be held accountable - even murder!
and contrary to Constitution he can not be impeached

Tucker Carlson: Republicans shouldn't be surprised Bolton betrayed Trump. He's like a snake - always has been
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-republicans-bolton-betrayed-trump-impeach
All of which somehow reminds us of disgraced former National Security
Adviser John Bolton. Republicans in Washington might seem shocked to
discover that Bolton has turned and betrayed his former boss, Donald Trump,
but they shouldn't be shocked. That's who John Bolton is. That's who
John Bolton has always been. That's what John Bolton does. And not to
brag, but we called it long ago.
On Sunday, The New York Times reported that Bolton's new book contains sections designed to help the Democratic case for impeachment.
Bolton accuses the president of delaying military aid to Ukraine in
order to pressure its government into investigating Hunter Biden.
Again,
people in Washington are stunned by this -- or claimed to be. If Bolton
disliked Trump so much, they wonder, why did he join the
administration?

WASHINGTON - US President Donald Trump unveiled his “Deal of the Century”
peace plan on Tuesday in the White House, giving Israel full control of
the settlements and Jerusalem as its undivided capital. The plan also
established a Palestinian state.

Judge Napolitano: Mitch McConnell was blindsided, should have been told about Bolton 'bombshell'
https://www.foxnews.com/media/judge-andrew-napolitano-mcconnell-bolton-book-impeachment
The Trump administration should have told Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., about the "bombshell" allegations contained in former National Security Adviser John Bolton's new book, Judge Andrew Napolitano said Tuesday.
This weekend, a report in The New York Times revealed an excerpt from the forthcoming book titled "The Room Where it Happened" – an apparent reference to the Broadway musical "Hamilton" – that could prove pivotal in the impeachment trial against President Trump.
In
it, Bolton wrote that the president told him in August that he wanted
to continue to freeze almost $400 million in security assistance to Ukraine until officials there helped with investigations into Democrats, including the Biden family.
Appearing on "Fox & Friends"
with hosts Steve Doocy, Ainsley Earhardt and Brian Kilmeade, Napolitano
said since the release of part of the manuscript, the issue has become
whether or not Bolton will testify before House managers and the Senate in the impeachment trial.
