Bolton is yet another example that everyone in Washington is bought off. It’s unreal the greed and how they so easily backstab and sell out.
This is one of the reasons I voted for Trump because they cant buy him out, he’s a billionaire. What can a slug like Soros offer Trump that Trump doesn’t already have?
And BTW anyone notice he never goes to fundraisers? Bush, Clinton, Obama every freakin week they were in office, fundraisers fundraisers. I remember Clinton hitting New York city FIVE times in one week for fundraisers. Not so for Trump and this is NEVER talked about
Anyone remember that picture of a creepy looking Bolton in some back alley street in Dubai when he was writing his book?
What was that all about?
I want to read a book that explains to us what the “interagency” is, who are its members, who do they report to, what links to do they have to Democrats and the media, etc.
I’m pretty sure Bolton’s book won’t broach that subject. No doubt it’s an interagency approved attempt to smear Donald Trump.
“Even with help from ghostwriters, these bureaucrats' memoirs are boring almost beyond human endurance. Bolton's 592 pages will not be brilliant writing — rather, the publisher is selling the promise of secrets and dirt. It certainly diminishes the power of Bolton's message — does Bolton seek to improve our government or to get $2 million?”
Bolton is using a tactic trial lawyers use all the time. He is loudly stating things as fact which (A) might not be factual at all, and (B) he’s not allowed to say in public (in a trial it would be things the lawyer isn’t allowed to say/ask a witness).
The purpose is to get the jury to hear arguments. No matter what a judge may say about disregarding remarks that are subject to a sustained objection, the jury cannot “unhear” them.
The second purpose is to get a reaction from the witness, which might go on the record depending on the judge’s instructions, but also cannot be “unheard”.
He is also giving fodder to fake news organizations who will repeat things endlessly , with embellishment, and who will present and endless parade of “expert contributors” create a fictional narrative to present as truth.
Bolton has committed crimes. The Senate should call him as a witness, place him under oath and ask “Do you swear that you wrote all of this, and that it represents truth? Remember you are under oath.” And “Do you understand that you have violated the terms of your employment and committed criminal acts?” And, “Given that you have been under oath before this body in the past, why did you conceal these things then? Be aware that by concealing material information, you have probably committed perjury.”
