It is easy to imagine that the news about the Bolton book will not turn a substantial number of Senate Republicans, even in favor of hearing witnesses. In fact, they might even double down to bring this impeachment to an end sooner.

“Take Her Out”: Donald Trump’s Role in the Ukraine Scheme Is Reportedly Caught on Tape https://t.co/x55ytNbBVG via @NewYorker

The story says this recording of Trump & Lev Parnas (who he’s repeatedly said he doesn’t know) talking about taking out Yovanovitch was made by Igor Fruman. Unless it was somehow in Parnas’ cache of materials, this could imply Fruman is also cooperating. https://t.co/S0aBxCyrxx

— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) January 24, 2020

Even setting everything else aside, the idea that a grifting lowlife like Parnas can get this close to the president and use a self-serving lie to get him to take an official action ought to alarm every American. How many other times has this happened? https://t.co/1WmvWekWfg

— Matthew Miller (@matthewamiller) January 24, 2020

NEW: The "Take her out" recording reported today was made by Igor Fruman and shared with Lev Parnas "shortly after it was recorded," according to Parnas's attorney Joseph Bondy.

— Vicky Ward (@VickyPJWard) January 24, 2020

Don't get distracted by Trump's mob-speak about Yovanovich. He's not trying to murder her. Don't miss the actual point: that Parnas has tapes and Trump is caught in the headlights of a *massive* lie on which the pretense of his defense rests. Hammer the GOP Senators with it.

— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) January 24, 2020

Well, I’m sure this tape of Trump ordering Parnas to take out the ambassador is going to be the last bombshell to come out in all this.

Fox News has the optics of covering the #ImpeachmentTrial without actually covering it. They've been showing screen-in-screen video of the proceedings without audio. Instead, hosts are providing Trumpian spin. It's propaganda giving the illusion of journalism. Remarkable. pic.twitter.com/NKbN2Sic1o

Lots of GOP senators complaining about how repetitive the Dem arguments have been, including the replaying of certain videos.
