" Excuse me, I was told I could have a war."

Attorneys for former national security adviser John Bolton are in touch with House committee staffers about the possibility of his testifying in Democrats' impeachment inquiry into President Trump, NBC News and CNN reported Friday.
Bolton, whom Trump fired last month, has broken with the president on multiple foreign policy issues, and previous House witnesses have described him as sharply critical of Trump's dealings with Ukraine, which are at the center of the inquiry.
Former Trump aide Fiona Hill reportedly testified before the House panels last week that Bolton described Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani as a "hand grenade who's going to blow everybody up."
She also reportedly said Bolton told her to tell White House lawyers "I am not part of whatever drug deal Rudy and [chief of staff Mick] Mulvaney are cooking up," referring to an alleged back channel diplomatic effort with Kiev.
Democrats expressed a strong desire to speak with Bolton following Hill's testimony.
“He’s as big a hawk as you’re going to find,” House Intelligence Committee member Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.) said last week. “And according to the news report, he was shocked and appalled at the run-around of the official channels for a private foreign policy run by Giuliani. So that makes what he has to say of interest to me.”

Chickenhawks suck.
Too late to yell ‘rape!’
Just a distraction due to the major news about the Barr and Durham criminal investigations.
Rudy’s going to blow everyone up? Bolton is correct. SpyGate is blowing up the entire corrupt system.
Pull the pin!
If the Dems want to talk to Bolton, of course they’ll have to talk to his lawyers first. Doesn’t really mean anything as to what he’ll say.
More Dem leaks, just as planned.
" Excuse me, I was told I could have a war."
“Bolton lawyers in contact with impeachment committee members”
Title fixed: Bolton lawyers in contact with Democrats’ fishing expedition members”
The President hires and fires at his discretion.
Bolton is evidently too stupid to just shut up and avoid taking it like a wuss.
Childish...
Trump is President John. He’s not there to support your foreign policy.
A real Quisling.
Yup. If Trump wants to delegate foreign policy to Rudy that’s his call.
What an amazing idiot he is.
Freakin’ amazing!
It’s true...
There is no Impeachment Committee. There are three different committees supposedly taking testimony from disgruntled administration employees.
As a proud owner of two red swingline staplers, I am upset with your comparison.
I told them that they could not move my desk by the window and if they didn’t I would set the building on fire.
The Democrats and the Democratic Media Complex are using "Circular Conformation".
Why?
Have not heard from Rudy since his buddies got arrested.
He was on TV all the time running his mouth. Always appearing
drunk.
Yep, even the deaf and blind are on to their tricks...."Some Say" that the media credibility now rates lower than a used car salesman.
