Bolton contacted whistleblower prior to filing complaint, suggesting an attempted coup
The Buffalo Chronicle ^ | September 26, 2019 | Staff

In the hours after National Security Advisor John Bolton was fired by President Donald Trump on September 10th, he immediately began calling longtime political operatives in Washington, DC, sources tell The Chronicle. Many of those calls were made to Democrats and many of them in the national security establishment.

...

“It’s go time,” he began those conversations, multiple sources tell The Chronicle, as if to suggest that Bolton’s patience with the President had worn thin, and even implying later in more than one conversation that a faction of neo-conservatives at the Central Intelligence Agency was ready to remove the President from office.

...

While on the phone with one former government official who currently works on K Street, Bolton admitted that he was furious with the President, whom he lambasted with obscenities for more than five minutes. The President would learn his lesson, he told the lobbyist, who chalked it up to a disgruntled employee venting over his unexpected termination.

But now, he fears that Bolton is organizing a coup d’etat to oust President Trump from office. He cites Bolton’s contacts with journalists at major media outlets — particularly The Washington Post under the ownership of Jeff Bezos — to whom Bolton is widely thought to have leaked information from inside of the Trump administration through the duration of his tenure.

I have never been able to hear the far side of a call unless the other person has their cell phone on speaker phone. Being able to do that in a restaurant at lunch time where it is noisy enough to get away with a phone call without annoying everyone else seems impossible.

Nobody tells the Buffalo Chronicle anything because they never heard of it.

More “fake news” from a dying city’s fake media?

It is what it is. imo where there is smoke there is fire even if it comes from a source ‘less’ known. Do with it what you will.

Could also have been a red herring tossed out to blow some smoke.

Hmmmm.

I thought Bolton was harmless when he was on 'Red Eye' years ago.

not sure what to make of the Buffalo Chronicle

- I haven’t found this story anywhere else.
- no author noted on any stories at Buffalo Chronicle ?
- “Sources” would talk to the Buffalo Chronicle but no one else ?
- No “About” page ?
- “All rights reserved. 2018” not 2019 ?

a couple of checkers claim not reliable

https://www.canadalandshow.com/the-buffalo-chronicle-is-not-reliable/

https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/the-buffalo-chronicle/

I didn’t check the checkers.

I didn’t check any other story.

I didn’t look at their FB page...

maybe a “take with a grain of salt” place ?

You should stop trusting the GOP Bush/Romney/McCain Establishment - I don’t trust any Republican other than Trump.

Posting articles from this news outlet is like posting articles from the back pages of the National Enquirer.
