Hey Rubicon fans, it's Brian. If you're listening to this, then hopefully you already know that we've just

launched a new weekly newsletter here at Crook and Media. It's called Big Tent. I write it. And my goal is to walk with you

through the big debates unfolding among Democrats in real time,

from the campaign trail to the Senate floor, to the most productive of venues, Twitter.

And I want to do that because the issues we argue about and how we work them out will both shape the future of the progressive movement we share and probably also help determine whether Donald Trump gets a second term or not.

The first edition just came out on Friday January 31st but you can

subscribe today at crooked.com slash big tent. I'm really psyched about this so I

hope you sign up and encourage people you know to sign up to.

Not a single witness in the house record that they compiled and developed under their procedures that we've

discussed and will continue to discuss provided any firsthand evidence

that the president ever linked the presidential meeting to any investigations.

This is Ambassador John Bolton. He was National Security Advisor to President Trump.

He was in all the meetings in which the president's national security team discussed withholding aid

from Ukraine in exchange for announcing investigations into the Biden's.

We want a real and a fair trial and in particular we'd like to hear from John Bolton

Did he say you've got to do an investigation or I won't give you money? No he didn't do that and there's no evidence

There's nobody there's nobody that they had to said that right but what if John

Bolton did but if the president did tell John Bolton that indeed there was a

relationship between getting that information on the Biden's and aid to the country,

that wouldn't be enough for you to say let's look into this more?

No.

The acquittal of Donald Trump will mark the end of this impeachment process.
