bolton is a war monger and never meet a war he didn’t like. Trump means to end all wars. I think bolton will be very damaging to Trump. I do not know if that will be enough to convince the gopE to remove him. Because clearly Trump did not act on a pro-quid-quo, but I suspect it was discussed. And that is what bolton will testify to. At least that is my guess.

But the Democrats don’t want to start any wars either, or finish any wars in the ways Bolton wants. Bolton doesn’t give a damn about democracy. He is an old-style kill-them-all-and-let-God-sort-them-out conservative. Trump is a lot closer to his position than the Democrats.

The reason I’m acquainted with many of Bolton’s views? I’ve read probably dozens of his essays, dating back to when he was a Reagan appointee, back in the 80’s. The current definition of “realist” is someone who rolls over for America’s enemies. The 80’s definition was smack your enemies until they stop moving. Bolton’s an 80’s realist.

Of course it was discussed.

So what? All relations between nations are either quid pro quo or war.

Quid pro quo when dealing with other nations is the President's JOB. When FDR sent the destroyers to Britain in 1940, he demanded basing rights for the US in the Caribbean.

Why wasn't he impeached, if quid pro quo between nations is a high crime?
