Former national security adviser John Bolton is willing to defy the White House and testify in the House impeachment inquiry about his alarm at the Ukraine pressure campaign if a federal court clears the way, according to people familiar with his views.
Bolton could be a powerful witness for Democrats: Top State Department and national security officials have already testified that he was deeply concerned about efforts by Trump and his allies to push Ukraine to open investigations into the president’s political rivals while the Trump administration held up military aid to that country.
The former national security adviser, who abruptly left his post in September, is expected to confirm their statements and describe his conversations with Trump, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the ongoing inquiry.

Fake News. Bolton wants a subpoena issued so he can take it to court. The committee has already said they will not issue subpoenas, or even invitations, if the issue is taken to court. The reasoning is they don’t want to slow down the process with court stuff. The truth is, they cannot withstand an adverse judicial decision of any kind.
You're 100% correct.
It's really pathetic to see this kind of nonsense played out repeatedly on FR:
RANDOM FREEPER: "I ignore [ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/NYT/etc.] because it's fake news."
SAME RANDOM FREEPER (48 hours later) ...
"Holy sh!t! Look at this story from [ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/NYT/etc.] about Trump getting arrested imminently! This is an outrage!!!!!!!!!!"
No doubt...
Others have said that, and I think you and they have a good point.
We’ll see.
It looks like everyone here assumes he will testify against the president.
You all must know something I don’t
I find it hard to imagine John Bolton becoming a traitor. He is one of those individuals of firm belief, and he has always fought against leftists and scoundrels.
If the Democrats try to stuff him in their pants, I suspect it will be as bad as stuffing a porcupine in there.
Finally, I can imagine him sticking it to the Dems at the worst time for them.
Bolton’s lawyer just said there’s no way he will
Wapo trying to sow discord
[[according to people familiar with his views.]]
According to his lawyer- someone we can actually ask- he is not going to-
[[is expected to confirm their statements]]
According to who? unnamed sources? But of course-

Agree about WaPo and discord.
Heard Schifft is now not going to *subpoena* (Progspeak for writing a snarky letter) Bolton.
Could it be Bolton was going to appear in order to refute their liddle schifft show? He’s a neocon, but I don’t think he’s generically anti-American.
This might be just more lies and fake news from the Bezo Amazon propaganda report .
Then considering the source its just BS from a evil Trump hater lefty at the Bezos propaganda newsletter.
“...according to people familiar with his views...”
So, what does he or his lawyer have to say about it?
