If Republican senators refuse to call new witnesses (including Bolton) under these circumstances, there would be only one plausible explanation: They fear Trump's retribution. Such fear, of course, is justified. In this case, going off the reservation is to enter a minefield. The first few GOP defectors on the issue of witnesses would come under enormous pressure. The first few GOP senators who support conviction would face a torrent of abuse from an unstable, thuggish narcissist, and from people convinced that disloyalty to Trump is treason or blasphemy.
- How They See It: In Bolton, Trump has finally met his match, SWTimes.com, January 29, 2020.
3. Corporate America has met its match. This week we gained a firsthand perspective of how some of our state and nation’s largest companies put profit before quality and safety, and I am pushing back in Congress.
In California, PG&E’s disastrous public safety power shutoffs and poorly maintained equipment endangered millions of Californians. In Washington, I grilled the CEO of Boeing in an open hearing on the unconscionable culture of profit before safety he has cultivated in his company. My message to these companies is clear: you will not get away with this. You will not put your profits before the safety and wellbeing of your customers. I vow to hold them accountable through my work in Congress.
This week, the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee held a hearing with Dennis Muilenburg, the CEO of Boeing, on the company’s 737 Max 8 aircraft. Since 2018, the plane’s staggering mechanical and safety issues have caused two crashes that killed a combined 346 passengers. Boeing’s troubles are not limited to the 737 Max 8.
