"Obama has not been the slightest bit bothered with Russian activity until Weiner’s laptop contents got dumped on Congress. "

The problem with Bolton - and it's a dealbreaker for anything to do with the incoming administration - is he genuinely feels he needs to say something meaningful every single time he's on Fox ie he doesn't get cable news at all. Dude is straight out of the 80s...

Also note Fox letterboxes him in a 2-by every single time. His screen space has to be the smallest for any Fox regular.

I have no problem with the idea the Russians tried to influence the elections. so did the Saudis and just about every other country. this has happened every election since George Washington. unless they did something to prevent an accurate count or substantially paid for a politicians election I just don’t care...of course if you look at Hillary I think you will find that a lot of her money was funneled to her by George Soros not a US citizen

What’s wrong with this man? Alleged hacks by Russia and China have been going on for years. (We hack them, too.) NOW he decides to get all hot and bothered about it? Sounds suspiciously like Obama and Clinton.

That OPM hack was extremely serious. Hubby was in Defense and our personal information was involved so we must be hyper vigilant every single day when it comes to finances, etc. There are hundreds of thousands of people in the same boat. The OPM hack actually was “a thing”.

The Podesta emails aren’t a thing, but now Bolton is siding with Obama, McCain, Graham, and their ilk? Because Hillary lost the election?! I was in favor of Bolton getting a high-level appointment, but no longer. I guess Trump IS a genius when it comes to assessing people. Dodged a bullet there.

The most the Russians could have done is purchase third party political ads. I don’t see anything they could have done otherwise that had material effect on the election.

If it weren’t for Russia, Trump wouldn’t be president. That’s what the crooks in the swamp want you to believe. It’s time to drain the swamp.

No. That will not be a policy we have with Russia. Russia is about to become an ally of the USA.

Oil is about to flow.

Bolton is not up to speed on this.

That’s why I was against Bolton for SecState from the beginning. He is nothing but a neocon, Bushite warmongering adventurist hack. McCrazy with a mustache.

Trump, please stay away from him and his kind.

Bolton is just an old neocon hack

Bolton is just reverting to form, which probably means he's no longer being considered for a State Dept. position. There was a rumor that Tillerson didn't want him as his deputy.

Bolton is a useful idiot for the left. Obama and the media are performing a coup trying to invalidate the election with the lie that the Russians hacked the election and Bolton here is aiding that charade. There is no evidence the Russians did anything much less hack any election. This is Obama just refusing to step down

Funny that many here blasted me because I favored Trump's decision of Exxon oil man Tillerson for State over this idiot Bolton

Bush was calling Putin, putty put, like they were great friends. Putin did not but stab Bush in the back.

If Russia did influence our election, they did us a huge favor!

Since the 1930's our domestic and the international Left have been striving mightily to turn the United States and Europe into client states of the Soviet empire. They failed, but have never truly given up.

Today, while they might not like the current Russian oligarchy, the Left still has dreams of world domination for their ideology. The Left would have achieved a major, if not final victory if Hillary Clinton had won. But now we have a chance -- possibly only a slim one, but a chance nevertheless -- to turn the tide of history decisively against the Left once and for all.

If Bolton has such view points, OK as many do. But when being considered for a position in the Trump administration, show some respect and express these opinions directly to Trump, but not to the public.

Palin mouthed off a while back. I don’t think she will be getting a position and I hope she does not. I used to really like her. After her public remarks, she’s just as repulsive as Carly Fiorina.

One thing the left has is unity and respect for their leader. obama policy inspired voters to get rid of 1,000 to 1,500 dem state & county politicians and actually paved the way for Trump to win. For the most part, they all towed the line, played the game, and shut up.

Bolton breaks with Trump on this issue.

At issue isn't even who hacked the emails. It's what the emails said.

We've got to stop letting the Left drive the narrative.

Bolton, who is reportedly being considered for a spot in the Donald Trump administration,

Probably not anymore.

That’s what I’m wondering if he really said this or it’s Fake News.

While I prefer an alliance and good relations with Russia, we will need the war dogs on our side at the ready. I’m ok with Bolton but I wish he would not encourage obama and McCain starting WWIII before we get Trump into office to fix things the incompetents have destroyed.

In the very general sense of cyber attacks perpetrated by foreign entities, yes Bolton’s statement is correct that the US did not do enough and would be well inline with Trump’s position and stance; however, the circumstance that he is referring is utter BS. To agree with his statement although from a general standpoint has points, is a validation of the fake news that Russians had anything to do with the leaked DNC emails and elections. The election wasn’t hacked as the voting machines don’t connect to the internet and the DNC emails aren’t matters of National Security.
