David Jolly: Graham and House Republicans Have Abandoned Any Pretense that They’re Interested in Truth

EXCERPT:

JOLLY: “John McCain would have sought the truth in this moment. And whether that led to the impeachment of the president or the exoneration, McCain would have sought the truth. Lindsey Graham and House Republicans have abandoned any pretense that they’re interested in the truth. Because we will hear from Bill Taylor on Wednesday that, yes, there was a quid pro quo. He will introduce to the nation that Rudy Giuliani was acting on behalf of the president’s personal interests, not a coordinated State Department diplomatic strategy. George Kent will say that this went all the way to the Oval Office, that Sondland spoke with Mick Mulvaney. Ambassador Yovanovitch will say this overturned all of the traditional diplomacy occurring on behalf of the United States in the Ukraine. That will be the truth. What you will hear from Republicans is a 2020 campaign strategy. They can’t overcome the truth, they can’t beat back the votes on impeachment, they’re already there, what Republicans will focus on is how do we shore up the base for Republicans and Donald Trump going into 2020."
