If that were true, surely Bolton can understand that’s part of the game and he shouldn’t short-circuit it.

“Bolton is an absolutely sick individual”

Just wait until he’s testifying in the Senate.

Given that the Norks are building long range missiles, I can see why Bolton is upset.

John Bolton, the darling of the crowd that was howling for McMaster to be fired.

Bolton wasn't great but he was big improvement on that rat leaker McMaster.

Read the entire transcript. It was NOT anti-Trump.

He’s an A-hole. People like him sabotaged every effort Trump made. Traitorous chickenhawk cowards like him assured the Norks that the deep state bitterly opposed Trump’s efforts. They sensibly concluded that a treaty with Trump would be immediately reversed when he left office.

Then the same jackasses turn around and crow Trump couldn’t do anything about the Norks. Bolton is a traitor and is probably part of the Ukraine phone call drama.

And of course, Bolton runs as fast as he can to leftist Axios. Typical neocon.

He was responsible for hiring Fiona Hill, Vindman and many other traitors. He fired people known for solid Trump support. And it simply not possible for us to know how many leaks he is responsible for. But it’s a fact that he never caught a leaker.

McMaster hired Eric Ciaramella to be his chief of staff.

McMaster is a rat leaker, plain and simple.

“He was responsible for hiring Fiona Hill, Vindman and many other traitors. “

I don’t know that McMaster hired anybody, particularly Fiona Hill and Vindman who had been at NSC before he showed up.

And more than that the head of the White House NSC staff is the Executive Secretary/Chief of Staff, not the National Security Adviser. McMaster as NSA reported to the President. The Exec Sec/CoS in charge of the staff was Keith Kellogg, another former 3 star.

“McMaster hired Eric Ciaramella to be his chief of staff.”

That would have been a good trick, since Ciarmella began working at NSC while Obama was in office. And besides that NSC staffing decisions are run by the Executive Secretary/Chief of Staff, a job McMaster didn’t have. Plain and simple.

Yes, we know there were LOTS of Obama holdovers running around the bloated NSC, but only a FEW of them were brought into McMaster’s inner circle. Eric Ciaramella was one of them.

Suggesting McMaster had nothing to do with who his personal aides were while running the NSC is utter nonsense.

You’re sure certain for a guy who doesn’t even know who manages NSC personnel. But why let facts get in the way of your conspiracy story?
