1. That Trump used the meeting to pressure and coerce Zelensky (the calls were “warm and cordial”),
2. That Trump wouldn’t meet with Zelensky unless the Ukraine president helped meddle in the next U.S. election (Trump was planning a meeting in Warsaw), and
3. That Trump is lying when he says his phone calls with Zelensky focused on concerns about corruption in Ukraine.
In the video, what Ambassador Bolton tells the reporter appears to discredit the Democrats’ narrative:
“I will be meeting with President Zelensky. He and President Trump have already spoken twice. The president called to congratulation President Zelensky on his election and on his success in the parliamentary election.
“They were very warm and cordial calls. We’re hoping they’ll be able to meet in Warsaw for a few minutes together, because the success of Ukraine, maintaining its free, its system of representative government, a free market economy, a free of corruption, and dealing with the problems of the Danbass in the Crimea are high priorities here, obviously, but high priorities for the United States, as well.”
CNSNews Reader,
And that is why Trump tweeted, “It’s over!”
Seems like Bolton’s patriotism varies according to his leeching off the government’s employment of power. Some sick individual.
Interesting.
I became FB friends with JB a few years ago (he’s got north of 3700 of us). He is being trashed by dozens of posters on his own timeline.
I know with certainty that The Gay Lady lies. The reporting of what is allegedly in Bolton’s book is not conclusive of anything!
I’m willing to wait and see if there is any light in the whole characterization of what JB has done (or not done).
