John Bolton warned the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee shortly after his departure in September that former ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch's ousting was 'improper,' it was revealed Wednesday.

'He and I spoke by telephone on September 23,' Democratic Representative Eliot Engel revealed in a statement Wednesday. 'On that call, Ambassador Bolton suggested to me — unprompted — that the committee look into the recall of Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch.'

'He strongly implied that something improper had occurred around her removal as our top diplomat in Kyiv,' Engel said.

The call, on September 23, came just a few days after Bolton was ousted from his post in the administration.

What a sorry rabble of grade school snitches exist in ex-administration apparatchiks.

“Isn’t this the woman who the Ukrainian president said refused to accept his election?”

I read that she told someone to just wait until Trump is impeached, and that utterance got back to Trump, and he decided she needed to go.

Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President. If the President doesn’t like an ambassador, for any reason, he can fire him. There’s nothing to investigate.

Looks like Bolton has switched sides.

Bolton suggested...
Bolton implied...

Doesn’t sound like he had first hand evidence.
If he had wouldn’t he get whistle blower protection??

While I don’t trust John Dolton anymore, ... remember, this is a demokrap who is making this claim ... now instead of bringing it up when the fake impeachment was in front of the House.

Seems like the US Rep was a witness (?), and he voted for impeachment. Conflict of interest, much?

It has been revealed/reported today that Bolton was given $115,000.00 by the Burisma Oligarch just days before he was to accept the NSC position.
This was not revealed to the administration by Bolton. The report was posted here on FreeRepublic earlier today. Don’t recall the title of the piece.

The President can fire anyone he wants.
Which is why Bolton was fired.

Boycott his upcoming book.

Email Fox News not to have Bolton on any of the shows and protest it.

We should try to make it known that with regard to Conservatives his book will gather dust in the stores.

Might shut him up and make the publisher worried.

Disgusting. The Ambassador serves at the pleasure of the President and is fully expected to REPRESENT the President.

Bolton was a traitor. He tried to launch wars in Venezuela and Iran. He wanted permanent forces in Syria. He sabotaged Trump’s efforts in North Korea. And he supported neocons in the NSC. Paid by Ukraine and the Sunnis in the Emirates and Saudi Arabia.

Snake in the grass and a coward.

I didn’t make a statement of fact to be wrong about :)

Or are you telling me i don’t want a war monger who gets sick thrills at seeing other people’s kids die in combat to die of cancer?

No I’m good with that
