We can believe their own words though.. the emails of their own hand. After Juan mccains comments, wonder what he is hiding?
I’m always highly suspicious of articles that minimumly quote a person, but are filled with the article writers own spin on what the person said. I don’t have any opinion on Bolton one way or the other, but I don’t like my opinions being formed for me about what someone said by a journalist. I’d wait to see the interview for myself before rushing to judgement.
So Bolton is buying into this “the Russians did it” BS too? If he actually believes it - which I seriously doubt, he’s a damned fool. That leaves the obvious alternative, he’s nothing but a neocon tool - like McCain and Graham.
Putin walks all over obama because he CAN!
That will not be the case with President Trump!
And on a side note: I am going to just absolutely HATE to see obama every day after the 20th. It’s unprecedented, uncalled for, and it shows how sick this piece of flesh and bone, is! If the media could somehow switch to a successful and interesting President Trump, obama COULD be tossed aside as dull and ‘been there done that’.
I break with Bolton on this issue. What the heck has gotten into him about this issue, especially since it’s been proven the Russians had nothing to do with it?
Bolton is a neocon. War monger. Glad T-Rex heads the Department. This Russian hacking crap is just that compliments of the DNC.
Bolton needs to crawl back out of today’s limelight and keep his NWO mouth shut. He’s fooling some, as did CondoLEEZA Rice, but tossing bombs at Putin is the wrong target.
Bolton does NOT deserve a position in President Trump’s administration.
No matter what the Russian do or don’t do then Bolton is an idiot for validating the main stream medias narrative.
We’re now seeing why Tump didn’t pick him as S of S.
Russia is a dump, a 3rd world country with a 1st class military, people drinking bath oil to get high, low standard of living, an economy that depends on one product and may well become a Muslim majority nation one day, police state that throws small-businessmen in jail at the cost of the zillionaires who lead the country. There is no reason to escalate tensions with them.
Lord, we’ve done it for years as has Russia.

The only fear both countries have is that a third party’s entrance and creating a more unstable atmosphere causing someone to flinch. North Korea might be that notch. Clinton provided their enrichment capacity, China the product and tracking program, Russia the missiles. Group effort.

As if there was any doubt, this guy has just jumped the shark.
I get the point. No, no foreign country should be able to attack us with cyberwarfare.
Nor will it when Trump is president. Bolton is right on the principle, wrong on the enforcement. Putin will not try this with a leader who is respected.
I heard that in retaliation for Russian hacking Obama demanded that “those commie bastards” leave now.
When Michelle started packing he said, “Oh, wait. Not you.”

“He should be appointed as assistant under-ambassador to an obscure African nation to get him out of the way...”
I found the ideal African backwater for Bolton - “Cloud Coup-Coup” land, also known as Comoros. Some highlights:
1. Haphazardly scattered across the Indian Ocean, the mysterious, outrageous and enchanting Comoros islands are the kind of place you go to just drop off the planet for a while.
2. Rich in Swahili culture, and devoutly Muslim, the charming inhabitants of Comoros come from a legendary stock of Arab traders, Persian sultans, African slaves and Portuguese pirates.
3. Nicknamed ‘Cloud Coup-Coup’ land because of their crazy politics, the three independent islands (the fourth, Mayotte, is still a part of France) have experienced almost 20 coups since gaining independence in 1975!

If Bolton had his way, we’d be looking at a war in no time. He’s quite often right, but this time he’s out to lunch.
If Bolton has his way, Trump wouldn't be President...Bolton is part of the global elite...He doesn't belong in the Trump administration...
That’s what I suspect, too. He and Rex would have made a very odd couple at State.
I was kinda pulling for Bolton for State. Now I’m glad Trump didn’t pick him.
I saw this segment on Fox; the article is an accurate reporting of what Bolton said. I was disappointed, as I have liked many things he has said in the past. When it comes to the Russians, he’s stuck in the 70s and 80s. I’m no fan of Putin, but Trump realizes there is an opening for some cooperation with them on terrorism and other important issues.
The same old tired neocon BS response. The next talking point is nation building. I can’t believe people here actually wanted him for SOS.
