and this hate group won't impeach him, talking about selling out your country for power and money.
Two years ago, the Washington Post added a new slogan on top of their print copy news. It's an old saying by Bob Woodward who, as most know, was one of the Post reporters that broke the Watergate conspiracy story. 'Democracy Dies in Darkness'. But Bob Woodward was not the original author, he just tweaked it.
After the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the U.S. Justice Department began deporting Arab and Muslim immigrants in secret court proceedings, which The Detroit Free Press, The Detroit News, the ACLU, and U.S. Rep. John Conyers challenged in federal court, arguing it was a violation of the First Amendment to close immigration hearings to the public.
In his decision, Justice Damon Keith wrote that "Democracy dies in the dark." The phrase was later adopted by The Washington Post for use as its slogan, who tweaked it to "Democracy Dies in Darkness" in 2017.
My point is this. Our country, our democracy, was in jeopardy because of the silence of republicans, because of the darkness they cast upon the impeachment trial. There's still an uphill battle, but today there's evidence that some republicans will do their job and vote to have John Bolton testify. So, there's some light being cast upon that darkness, which is good for our country's democracy.
Regarding John Bolton, he's a vile creature and in my opinion and co-conspirator. Not because he had knowledge of all of that and didn't like it and complained about 'this drug deal', but because he never had enough care about our country's national security -- even though he was our U.S. National Security Advisor -- to come forward
willingly to report this perilous abuse of power. He thought only of himself and how he could profit by selling a book. He's an accomplice to all of it in my opinion and should stand with others to face indictments.
It appears that a door has been cracked open with the news of Bolton's manuscript and just maybe a ray of light has entered this dark place this country is in.
