GOP Senator Waffles On Having John Bolton Testify

Raw Story reports:

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Wednesday briefly became the fourth Republican senator to say that former National Security Adviser John Bolton should testify — and then he changed his mind. Democrats would need four Republican senators to vote with them in order to hear Bolton’s testimony. Senators Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Susan Collins (R-ME) and Mitt Romney (R-UT) are all on record wanting to hear Bolton’s testimony.

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), a staunch ally of President Trump, on Tuesday urged former national security adviser John Bolton to speak out publicly about what he knows about efforts to hold up military assistance to Ukraine. https://t.co/Irt5JCfOeG

To sum up, Senator Johnson emphatically, even passionately, wants to hear Bolton’s side of the story—just not through the constitutional mechanism available for it at this time.
