"Accordingly, since my testimony is once again at issue, I have had to resolve the serious competing issues as best I could, based on careful consideration and study," Bolton said in a statement. "I have concluded that, if the Senate issues a subpoena for my testimony, I am prepared to testify." This story is breaking and will be updated.

There is zero need to Bolton to make his intentions known, other than that he is a grade A, certified neocon *rick. I cringed when DJT announced this rats his appointment to his cabinet.

I’m not worried about Bolton, I think if the Rats think Bolton is going to help their cause, they are in for a big disappointment.

Seems that he is backing Trump on Iran John Bolton ‏

Verified account

@AmbJohnBolton Jan 3 More Congratulations to all involved in eliminating Qassem Soleimani. Long in the making, this was a decisive blow against Iran's malign Quds Force activities worldwide. Hope this is the first step to regime change in Tehran.

John Bolton ‏ Verified account @AmbJohnBolton 21h21 hours ago More Another good day. Iran rips the mask off the idea it ever fully complied with the nuclear deal, or that it made a strategic decision to forswear nuclear weapons. Now, it's on to the real job: effectively preventing the ayatollahs from getting such a capability.

Bolton is a piece of shit. Another beltway jackass who never wore a uniform, but yet has no problem advocating for other American’s sons and daughters to give their lives in pursuit of never ending wars.

I think Bolton’s going to be a big disappointment for the Dems.

He may be upset about Trump getting rid of him, but he’s not going to give fuel to a witch hunt that would hurt national security.

Indeed. There may be things one can say against Bolton, but the man places great value on the power of the executive branch. The current occupant of the White House is beside the point. Bolton is not going to support a secret coup from the legislative branch that would hamstring the office of the president.

“I’m not worried about Bolton, “

If there is one thing the Trump presidency has graphically illustrated is: If someone has been part of the Washington political class more than 2 days, they should be viewed with suspicion.

Most definitely. He tipped his hand when he started bashing POTUS after getting shown the door.

If he is subpoenaed or not, eventually bolton is going to spill what he has to say. bolton is a POS and has taken away Trump’s right to executive privilege. I don’t know what bolton is so desperate to say, but I suspect it will be an attempt to damage Trump.

A lawyer who calls a witness when it is not certain what he will say is probably a fool. There may be times when you need a hail mary, but this is not that time.

The other thing I expect is a mad rush of Freepers who are today laying into Bolton.

The mad rush will be to profusely apologize to the rest of us for their blindness, and for many their hatred. It will be there for the entire Free Republic world to see.
