John Bolton Rejects Atlantic Story: ‘I Was There’; ‘I Didn’t Hear That’
Breitbart ^ | September 4 2020 | Joel B Pollack

Posted on 09/04/2020 4:56:27 PM PDT by SmokingJoe

Former National Security Advisor John Bolton has disputed a story in The Atlantic claiming that President Donald Trump called fallen World War I soldiers “losers.” Bolton told the New York Times Friday that “I was there” and “I didn’t hear that.”

The Atlantic‘s Jeffrey Goldberg published an article titled “Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’.” The story also claimed that Trump skipped a 2018 visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery near Paris, where the fallen of the battle of Belleau Wood are buried, because he feared rain would ruin his hair. Goldberg’s sources were all anonymous.

-SNIP-

Techno Fog @Techno_Fog On that Atlantic Story -

@JeffreyGoldberg and his "four sources" claim Trump's helicopter flight to the US/French cemetery wasn't cancelled due to weather.

FOIA docs prove this to be false.

Their "sources" are failing basic fact checks - making them essentially worthless.

Just simply more chaos created by DEMS, they don’t even try to deny the lies. They are going to EAR F—k us until we beg Trump to go away. We are now entering the TFS (Trump Fatigue Syndrome).

The amount of sh*t the left has thrown at President Trump must be enough to fill the Atlantic.

I think POTUS will sue and will take this to the mat as many years as it will take.

“I didn’t hear that,” Mr. Bolton said in an interview. “I’m not saying he didn’t say them later in the day or another time, but I was there for that discussion.”

These desperados are really grasping, with this latest one.

And, Jennifer NeverTrumper Griffen was seen multiple times on Epstein Island, wasn’t she? Sr Fox officials have confirmed.

Geez. These idiots make me sick.

This year’s pussy tape, except there is no tape, and no one willing to go on the record. And who is this ((nt on Fox Jennifer Griffin?

BTW some guy that knows Joe Biden told me once that Joe told him the only thing he (Joe) likes better than smoking meth is molesting nuns. Talk about a bad habit. Proof? I’m a “journalist”, so it’s true.

[Fox News correspondent Jennifer ] Griffin said Friday, “I’ve spoken with two U.S. senior officials who were on the trip to France who confirmed to me key details in the Atlantic article and the quotes attributed to the president.”

We are not going to take the word of anonymous deep state “officials” who may or may not exist.
John Bolton was actually there. And he is not anonymous.
Plus he don’t even like Trump.
And he still says it never happened.

Jennifer Griffin of Fox News Did Not Confirm ‘Most Salacious‘ Part of Atlantic Story https://t.co/rUpbSWhHac via @BreitbartNews All refuted by many witnesses. Jennifer Griffin should be fired for this kind of reporting. Never even called us for comment. @FoxNews is gone!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 5, 2020

Well you can always claim a 100 very high officials in the Biden campaign with “knowledge of the matter” told you so.
Chuckle.

Trump shouldn’t even waste his time on little Jennifer.
Total waste of time.
He should concentrate his firepower on Slow Joe.
Much more effective.
We his supporters will tear Jennifer Griffin apart.

Jeffrey Mark Goldberg needs to be sued and prosecuted for his defamatory lies.

His wife, Pamela Ress Reeves Goldberg is the consulting senior advisor on gender strategy to the Executive Office of Melinda Gates. She is the former director of Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s International Fund for Women and Girls at the United States Department of State.

Tell me that Hillary wasn’t the instigator of this demented hit piece.

So his wife is trying to grab as much of the Gates billions that she can, while he himself is sucking up millions from the billions that Steve Jobs worked hard to accumulate. Fine pair of grifters we have here.
Figures.
