Just when you thought John Bolton couldn't sink any lower, he decided to spread lies about the extent of Deep State influences among President Trump's staff. Read his statement very carefully. He's not saying what you may think he's saying.

What he's saying is that all the reports about how certain members of Trump's staff have been insubordinate and/or sabotaging his agenda are fake news. Even if the reports are from conservative sources. Fake news. It's all propaganda created by North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and/or China.

In other words, he's now attacking the base and accusing people like us of being useful idiots for America's enemies. And when I say he thinks we're "useful idiots," I mean "useful idiots." He thinks we're stupid enough to believe that "oh, he's just talking about the left-wing media." No, he's not. He's talking about all media, including pro-Trump media. You know, the pro-Trump media that's reporting the insubordination/sabotage in good faith because they want this administration to succeed?

If that disgraceful display of arrogance doesn't convince you that Bolton is part of the Deep State, then I don't know what else to say.

Just saying...

Welcome to FR.

Better get your asbestos flame suit on.

“We have substantial reason to believe..."

Read THAT statement carefully.

What do you think it means?

[PghBaldy]

The actual headline is "John Bolton: 'Substantial' belief five countries spreading lies on Trump team dysfunction"

[M. Thatcher]

Very weak take on a nothingburger quote and story. Come back when you have actual evidence or an actual point.

You know what I Like about Bolton?

He aint here to be exalted

[BeadCounter]

Honestly, we are suppose to use the original headline. You are welcome to your opinion but not just an open editorial and making it look like the Wash. Examiner said this initially.

[teeman8r]

Get off the weed, it is making you paranoid...

[mylife]

Funny thing, Bolton and Trump never back down.

[9YearLurker]

Have never trusted or liked this big ol’, Deep State neocon.

[fatman6502002]

I think you’re a nut case. Bolton is great.

[rrrod]

I’ll stick with Bolton over the Russian, N. Korea, Venezuela,Iranian, Cuba worshippers here on FR. Add China to that mix too.

[USS Alaska]

If that disgraceful display of arrogance doesn't convince you that Bolton is part of the Deep State, then I don't know what else to say.

Trump now needs your advice on his selections? You've been here for a week, and you 'know' one thing and that is, "You don't know what else to say", so take your own advice and...

STFU

My take on Bolton is that he may be aggressive with his foreign policy, but he’s not a globalist. He’s pro-American. Big difference.

Joined June 6, 2019. Sounds like you are part of the disinformation campaign Bolton was talking about.

[Rocky]

Really?

[trebb]

So - you a psycho mind reader? Hit the “Donate” button and get back to us....troll.

[jeffc]

I like Bolton. He’s not a coward.

[bramps]

First thing I did was check when you joined Free Republic.

I don’t know about John Bolton, but I’d guess that you certainly have an unspoken agenda.

[McGruff]

We have substantial reason to believe that North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Russia, and China have made a decision to — and you can see it publicly — to try to sow disinformation about the administration, and to say that the president and his advisers are divided, and things like that,” Bolton said

Well Duh! Sounds like CNN. I'd worry if they said nice things about us. I'm not a Bolton fan but this is gibberish.
