Actually republicans were allowed to ask witnesses questions. The transcripts from the House hearings show republicans asking almost as many questions as the democrats on the panels involved. And remember Trump was and is still trying to block any and all witnesses and documents. I think Bolton wanted the House to go to the courts first to get his testimony but that could have taken years. As repeated many times now, Bolton did offer to testify if the Senate asked him too. Given the leak I suspect Bolton’s testimony will be much like the others that were willing to testify under oath when we finally get it. Unlike the story being told by those who don’t want to testify under oath.
