Former Trump national security adviser John Bolton piled on Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for his comments Tuesday about a transfer of power.

Wolf Blitzer brought up Pompeo’s remark about a transition “to a second Trump administration,” and said, “That sounds like something we might hear in Russia, not the United States of America.”

“How dangerous is this?” he asked.

Bolton called it “delusional for Mike to say that,” and added, “He has eviscerated his credibility internationally because I think there are very few people, even in the U.S. government who believe that’s the case. I don’t know why he had to have that briefing and I don’t know why he felt he needed to make that statement, maybe other than to avoid being fired like others are being throughout the administration. But it’s delusional.”

Bolton talking about ANYONES credibility is a laughingstock!

[Irenic]

I don’t know why Bolton is losing his chit.

To me Pompeo said that with a smirk, fast, and like somebody bantering about their sports team.

Trump hasn’t been declared a loser, Biden isn’t a certified winner.

Why should Pompeo do different?

He’s a pervert and warmonger that Trump had in his administration for a while. I have no idea why.

[Lee25]

Pompeo said that line for a reason I hope

[StoneWall Brigade]

Bolton went the way of Frankie five angels but at least Frankie redeemed himself no I'm not talking suicide he (Bolton)could have admitted his huge mistake apologized and moved on in focusing in on the real enemies, but instead his lust and greed for kleptocracy got the best to him now he's a rat lower than a rat. Money really is the root of all evil ☹

[Semper Mark]

Go sit in the corner and suck bnb your thumb, Bolton.

This here is big boy politics.

[Salamander]

STFU Bolton.

[rlmorel]

It took me a while to come around to the concept of the “Deep State”, but it seems pretty clear to me now.

He is definitely one of them.

[steel_resolve]

This.

[AFB-XYZ]

I remember when I thought John Bolton was one of the good guys.

Me too. So disappointed in him.

[dowcaet]

Another CONservative Establishment sleazeball looking for his next government gig!

[SaveFerris]

Well, I thought George was on our side, too.

Then he became Jorge. And went even further left.

[McGruff]

John Bolton a hero for the left now?

[caww]

I was listening..Pompeo’s comments were perfectly in line and exactly stated ......founding fathers would be proud. He rested on the Constitution and law. John Bolton is seeking attention yet again!

[Salamander]

Bolton is going from a has been to a never was.

If someone feeds on attention, you starve them.

[sanjuanbob]

I think you’re onto something. He spoke so confidently that you just knew it wasn’t BS.

[StoneWall Brigade]

No. They’re still highly pissed off because he didn’t testify like he said he was going to
