John Bolton's bombshell gives the GOP a glimpse of its nightmare scenario
greenwichtime.com ^ | 1/27/20 | Aaron Blake

We finally got a taste Sunday night of what former national security adviser John Bolton might tell President Donald Trump's Senate impeachment trial -- if he's called to testify, that is.

What we learned reinforced the potential peril for Republicans if they refuse to let him do so.

The New York Times reported Sunday that Bolton makes a series of very big Ukraine-related claims in an unpublished manuscript of his upcoming book, which is now slated to be released in March.

(snip) -- Bolton is naming names - lots of names - and directly contradicting what top administration officials are saying.

(snip) -- The nightmare scenario for the GOP is that they give Trump the quick and witness-free acquittal that he apparently desires, but then information like Bolton's keeps coming out.

(snip) -- Bolton's upcoming book - which is now slated for March 17 - is a great example of how the hastily assembled walls the Trump team have built around its defense can quickly crumble and in some cases already have.

Bolton is NOT a ‘nightmare scenario’ nor a glimpse of it.....

It is nothing more than another last minute failed attempt by treasonous mofos otherwise known as the far left Democrat libtard progressive party.....

What Bolton can divulge is in no way comparable to the corruption and perjury that can be extracted from Schiff and the whistleblower. Bring it on.

Whores in Washington are dime a dozen. Geez.


Not just in Washington.

Everyone, everywhere, has an angle and is busy using it to pimp themselves.

We live in the Side Hustle economy.

You may not need to hear this, but let me make something clear to you if it isn't clear already.

When a FReeper such as myself posts an article like this alarmist article 'presented by' greenwichtime.com, it does not mean that they are in agreement with it.

It is posted to encourage discussion, and in this case, to discuss the lamentable John Bolton.

Carry on.

The end of the republic is precisely their goal.

Bolton is worse than a whore and he is symptomatic of Trump’s weak spot: personnel hiring.

Trump should have hired only the best people, as he said he would in 2016. I wonder why he couldn't get anyone better than Bolton.

He reminds me of Mark Felt, the Asst. FBI Director, who when he was passed over for Director by Nixon, became Deep Throat, whose perfidy caused the fall of Nixon and with it South Vietnam. Solely self-interested, no morality or ethics, a first class, low class bum, just like Bolton.

..... heavy duty.

Ditto.

Heavy duty and deservedly so. The jerk Bolton was in a position of great trust and confidence as the President’s closest in-house foreign policy advisor. You don’t run out to write a book in which you reveal private conversations and try to screw the guy who trusted you, as well as the country you supposedly represent, although I have never thought the neocons such as Bolton care a whit about the country or the military they send to die for some crazed mission that Dr. Pangloss couldn’t think up.

The reviewers received 1 copy on Dec 30th. Let's say 2 days to read.

Could that be the delay with getting the impeachment papers to the Senate?

That would indicate coordination with Bolton. Extremely sad if true.

Disagree....I’m looking at coordination with Dems. Particularly because Vindman’s twin has been mentioned as one of the reviewers.

Just goes to show you where the country will be when the DemonicRats get full power again. This country won’t survive without watering the Tree of Liberty.
