When the ‘whistleblower’ nonsense first came out, I posted here at FR that I thought Bolton was part of the scheme with Schiff... People convinced me otherwise.... But now I’m back to thinking that it is a definite possibility, that he is at least involved with it..

“I remember some were really mad if any bad talk was said to Bolton. “

I remember when George W Bush was treated like a saint. Any tough criticism would lead to zotting - or banning.

Boltons' career is a neocon opportunist.

He'll side with anyone he believes will increase his chances of gaining power and influence of the neocons.

I had my say at the time and was often shouted down.

“If that happens POTUS be probably more than not going down big time and say hello to President Pence. I think it’s very possible now.”

Wishful thinking on your part?

Actually most of his career is as a political pundit. While that could have a short term benifit, long term it Would be a disaster.

Wow, what an oddly written little article pushing a tinier bit of hearsay. It’s definitely not written for clarity.

“Former national security adviser John Bolton [allegedly] told a former aide [Fiona Hill?] to President Trump on Russia to call White House lawyers to warn them about a pressure campaign on Ukraine, [Democrat] House investigators were *reportedly* told Monday. “

You fell for this article, written by a reporter who just pushed the antiTrump book written by Fusion GPS’s cofounders?
Actually I’m not surprised you fell for it.

At the very least, you know this is hyped to make it sound as bad as possible. That is why these depositions are in private. So they can leak and misrepresent at will.

If you believe anything that comes out of these Democrat hearings, you are an idiot.

Actually, no, the author of this peace is pushing the Fusion GPS book deal.

And the person making the allegation is connected to Soros, who absolutely hates Bolton.

Agreed. Just like little shits “parody” of Trumps conversations with Ukraine president. Don’t believe it.

Not surprised NY Times involved. All the Russia crap was from them also.

So let’s understand this.

The President, since he was a candidate, since he was President-Elect, and since he has been President, has been continually attacked for being a Russian agent intent on bringing down America’s democracy or some such, and in response he brings in his friend, one Rudolph ‘Rudy’ Giuliani, to be his personal defense lawyer, and to dispatch his friend and lawyer Rudy wherever is necessary to get to the bottom of who and what launched these attacks against his candidacy, his election, and his presidency, and Mr. Giuliani, while traveling to various foreign lands, one of which is the country of Ukraine where he asks how it came to be that his client, the President of the United States, came to be mixed up in some sort of Russian Collusion plot, and in so doing hears from several officials and former prosecutors in Ukraine, and in hearing evidence to the contrary and to the corruption of the former US Vice-President, he returns to the United States and is accused of pressuring Ukraine on behalf of the President of the United States to dig up dirt on the President’s opponents.

Do I have it correct?

It’s the same Democrats pulling the same kind of fake ‘hearings’ they have done since 9/11...if not before. Fiona’s been called out as a mole a year ago when there was an anonymous op ed kerfluffle.

She was a member of the board of directors of a Central Eurasian Project sponsored by Soros’ Open Society.
She seems to be aligned with Bill Kristol and Max Boot, according to a freeper then, named Vic S.

Yep. But it's all about the narrative that the dems and msm can fashion. That's why the secret hearings and selective leaking. It's done that way so no one can be held accountable and they can build whatever narrative they want to.

Right. I’m not standing up for Bolton, but as of yet I have no trust in anonymous sources. I want to hear from him first before making a decision. Remember, Schiff is orchestrating all the leaks in this “faux investigation”.

man, you guys love your water gate comparisons dont ya...thing is, in Water gate, there was an actual CRIME that started it all. President and Barr stated in public last spring that this whole Russia hoax was gonna be investigated...rats insisted after the Mueller flop they wanted to keep it going. Guliani is the Presidents defense lawyer and has every right to investigate on his behalf. Attorney General is also investigating Russia..Ukraine..whole thing. how you get a John Dean paying hush money out of this is odd...
