Bolton’s comments were not a public rebuke of the president, however, instead they came during a private dinner in Austin, Texas, according to reporting by NBC affiliate KXAN, Bolton was the keynote speaker at the dinner sponsored by an investment management company, and was there to discuss the foreign policy challenges facing the Trump administration. “All of them acted in the best interest of the country as they saw it and consistent to what they thought our policies were,” Bolton reportedly said during the Q&A portion of the event, referring to the House impeachment witnesses who implicated the Trump White House in a quid pro quo scheme to pressure Ukraine to announce an investigation into the president’s potential 2020 rival, Joe Biden. “The idea that somehow testifying to what you think is true is destructive to the system of government we have — I think, is very nearly the reverse — the exact reverse of the truth,” Bolton noted, to applause. Government officials, he added, should “feel they’re able to speak their minds without retribution.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., says that while he believes President Trump has acted inappropriately, he does not need to hear from witnesses in Trump's impeachment trial. Alexander was among a key group of Republicans whom Democrats hoped to convince to join them in their effort to call witnesses. "I don't need to hear any more evidence to decide that the president did what he's charged with doing," Alexander told NPR's Steve Inskeep on Friday. "So if you've got eight witnesses saying that you left the scene of an accident, you don't need nine.” Alexander announced on Thursday night that he will not vote to call witnesses, all but assuring the trial will end without senators hearing additional testimony. "I agree he did something inappropriate, but I don't agree he did anything akin to treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. I think there's a big gap there," Alexander told NPR.

In a series of a dozen tweets, the former Harvard law professor and prominent criminal defense lawyer claimed that “CNN, MSNBC and some other media willfully distorted my answers” from Wednesday’s Senate impeachment trial proceedings, when lawmakers began posing questions to the White House defense team and the House impeachment managers. “They characterized my argument as if I had said that if a president believes that his re-election was in the national interest, he can do anything. I said nothing like that, as anyone who actually heard what I said can attest,” Dershowitz wrote, going on to clarify his remarks before the chamber. Responding to a question about how presidents conduct foreign policy, Dershowitz asserted Wednesday that “every public official that I know believes that his election is in the public interest.” Therefore, he continued, “if a president did something that he believes will help him get elected — in the public interest — that cannot be the kind of quid pro quo that results in impeachment.”” #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

During a feisty debate with Democratic strategist Paul Begala, Santorum said that it would be a waste of time to call witnesses such as former national security adviser John Bolton because it would not change the fact that Trump is getting acquitted by the Republican-majority Senate. “Most Republicans feel the way I feel,” he said. “Even if John Bolton’s statement is true, even if there’s more information that proves the president withheld aid, it’s — what Professor Dershowitz and Robert Ray said the other night, even if it’s true, it’s not impeachable.” Begala, however, argued that getting Bolton to testify was necessary to get the full truth about the president’s actions.” #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

And it's this: 55% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing on the economy, while 40% disapprove. That +15 gap is by far the best Trump performs on a series of questions on how he is handling various aspects of the country. In fact, it is one of only two measures where more Americans approve than disapprove of the job he is doing. (Trump has a +3 margin on his handling of terrorism.) And his +15 on the economy far outstrips his overall job approval rating -- 43% approve, 53% disapprove -- in the new CNN data. (Trump's worst showings are on health care and immigration, where he is -15 and -14, respectively). It doesn't take a political savant to see the path for Trump to a second term: the economy, the economy, the economy. The history of modern presidential elections suggests that the economy is always at the center of how voters make up their minds -- and that when people feel as though things are going well (in their personal economics and in the country) they tend to want to stay the course. “ #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

It totaled just $750 million for the two decades prior. Even more troubling, $963 million of that came from groups that don’t disclose their donors. But the curse isn’t just corporate PAC and super PAC money, it is the capitalistic principle behind our elections as a whole. There are the “wealth primaries,” where wealthy donors act as ballot gatekeepers before a single vote is cast. And with millionaires and billionaires still dominating the donor class, only those at the top are setting the agenda in Washington. The donor class in America is, in fact, smaller than many imagine. Only 0.48% of Americans contributed more than $200 to a candidate or PAC in the 2018 elections. In the decade since Citizens United, 10 donors and their spouses accounted for $1.2 billion in donations into federal elections. The wealth gap is everywhere, including in our elections." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The Wednesday night vote was 220-210. Democrats reintroduced the bill in January, after passing it in 2019, banking on the party's narrow majority in the Senate to get it passed through both chambers this cycle. The bill seeks to "to expand Americans' access to the ballot box, reduce the influence of big money in politics, strengthen ethics rules for public servants, and implement other anti-corruption measures for the purpose of fortifying our democracy, and for other purposes."" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

"I don't understand the political or economic wisdom in allowing Trump to give more people relief checks than a Democratic administration. People went far too long without relief last year," the New York Democrat told the Washington Post's Jeff Stein. "If anything we should be more generous, not more stingy.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Todd Piro and Ashley Strohmier interviewed Cawthorn on Fox & Friends First, where the topics ranged from election laws to the Biden Administration’s border policy. The interview turned to the lighter side, however, when Piro asked Cawthorn to react to President Joe Biden omitting Seuss from his proclamation for Read Across America Day." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
