I certainly can't.
:: The witness is the manuscript. ::
Add in that, Bolton himself, has neither confirmed or denied ANY of it! Simply...he *can’t* discuss the content under the review agreement. OKA, a Gag Agreement.
He can’t speak on the leaks until the manuscript is released from the review. And, likely then, cannot comment on any required/requested redactions.
I never liked him - nothing worse than a war monger AND chicken hawk at the same time, but most, including me, had some respect for his character.
His name is MUDD.
Bolton certainly isn't the Patriot type for sure. Hope he enjoys his millions.
I guess the favor to China would have been the Hong Kong protesters? You can see how that turned out too.
Characterization of Bolton's "concerns"? OMG, impeach the President over a cabinet member's concerns? What about facts, don't they matter anymore or are we going to bow to John Bolton's feelings and concerns. Give me a break.
Do you remember where you heard it?
I’m more upset thinking that BARR could have said that.
Of course, Bolton is in dangerous territory here. Because he was invited into the top security groups, he could cause a lot of trouble. I can’t believe I once thought he was a right=thinking straight shooter.
We must always remember, FOREIGN POLICY AND USE OF FOREIGN AID IS IN THE COMPLETE AUTHORITY OF THE PRESIDENT.
The media have done a good deal of harm in pretending that this isn’t so. The lying cretins..
AGREE!!!
And I repeat:
We must always remember, FOREIGN POLICY AND USE OF FOREIGN AID IS IN THE COMPLETE AUTHORITY OF THE PRESIDENT.
Bolton now has attempted to smear AG Barr and President.
So what next, Dems will now demand AG BARR testify?
I said from the day he got hired by President, it was a bad choice.
LOL
Once again an advisor who thinks he’s the President.
Who believes the Times?
“”Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser John Bolton claims to have privately told Attorney General William Barr last year that he was concerned the President was granting favors to the autocratic leaders of China and Turkey,”... by offering to negotiate with them on tariffs rather than declaring WAR against them.
It’s not what they ‘say’, it’s what they leave out.
If this turns out to be a lie, Then Bolton needs to sue them.
Bolton could easily go on a friendly show like Hannity and clear the air. Instead, he let’s himself be used by Schiff and leaves POTUS bare behind to the impeachment winds. There is no good ending here for Bolton. He has made a major mistake doing this book now and condoning these leaks with his silence.
Of course, Bolton is in dangerous territory here. Because he was invited into the top security groups, he could cause a lot of trouble. I can’t believe I once thought he was a right=thinking straight shooter.
Agree. This is the final nail in the coffin of the neocon agenda. I say that as someone who was a full supporter of Gulf War I/II and Bolton being hired by Trump. Now, I’d sooner vote for a Democrat than a neocon. I’ll never vote for one again. And no GOP kapo will bully me into doing that. I. Am. Done.
lol
A LOT of the smartest among us were fooled by this crowd... so don't feel bad. They somehow convinced nearly everyone that it was righteous and beneficial to invade every Mideast sh**hole they pointed at.
Then we woke up with the hangover... and realized what happened. Lots of dead, lots of treasure destroyed - for NOTHING. Worse than nothing - we won't get back what we lost. IMO people should pay dearly for that - but they won't.
The good news is we may be waking up to our sins and mistakes. If we can be corrective, America can still wear the white hat and DESERVE to be the world's only superpower.
If we don't wake up, then we're Rome.
Someone on Fox last night laid out the real reason Bolton was fired. Something about publicly undermining Trump.
Anyone remember?
Any info on that?
Why does anything have to be done OTHER THAN declassify all her emails, text, calls, IMs.
WHO is she receiving this information from?
Probably not more than ONE cut-out between her and NSC Vindman.
For God's sake, Mr. President, just do it. We could have a Church Commission II and erase the Deep State if you will just simply declassify communication, just as Schiff did to Nunes.
SOURCE: CSPAN---Alan Dershowitz: "Nothing in the Bolton revelations, even if true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense. That is clear from the history. That is clear from the language of the Constitution."
“If the president, any president, were to have done what the Times reported about the content of the Bolton manuscript, that would not constitute an impeachable offense,” Dershowitz said.
“Let me repeat: Nothing in the Bolton revelations, even if true, would rise to the level of an abuse of power or an impeachable offense. That is clear from the history. That is clear from the language of the Constitution.”
Dershowitz continued. “You cannot turn conduct that is not impeachable into impeachable conduct simply by using words like ‘quid pro quo’ and ‘personal benefit.'”
Bolton is a concern troll?
