Former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly said he believes former national security adviser John Bolton’s assertion that President Donald Trump withheld aid from Ukraine to pressure that country into announcing an investigation of Joe Biden.
“If John Bolton says that in the book, I believe John Bolton,” Kelly told the crowd at a lecture series in Sarasota, Florida, on Monday.
Bolton’s accusation has become the latest twist in the Senate impeachment trial. A draft of his new book, obtained by The New York Times, says that Trump told Bolton last August that he wanted to freeze nearly $400 million in congressionally approved military assistance to Ukraine until the country agreed to investigate the former vice president and current Democratic presidential candidate.

All of these guys have an axe to grind since they got pushed out.
Which means their words don’t mean squat.
Well, I guess that’s it, then. No reason for any Conservatives to VOTE come November!
*SNORT*
didn’t he write the forward to bolton’s book?
Kelly is a democrat, right?
says another disgruntled ex employee.
Dear John Kelly, no one gives a rats behind what you think. The hobo on the park bench is more relevant
ET TU John Kelly?
Shows you how badly we need Trump for another 5 years. His second term should be aimed at a massive turnover of employees in DC.
Kelly, Bolton, Sessions, Mattis, Omarosa, et al. Trump chose...poorly.
Wanting to do something is not a crime is it? If it was I'd think we'd all be in some series trouble.
On the other hand, if I tell my wife I "wanted to" mow the lawn and wash her car, that's not good enough for her.
This gets headlines but John Bolton’s former top aide saying he is full of BS gets nadda.
The NYT never released the leaked TEXT of the book, only vague, general concepts. So how can this statement be made so emphatically? Is this an elaborate trap to once again discredit the fake media?
#i’masimperingwannabetoo!
“All of these guys have an axe to grind since they got pushed out.”
Apparently Kelly is angry his girl Nielsen get a kick on the ass out the door too.
To make a comment starting with “if” is just despicable here.
What is this thing? Trump fires someone and they try to bring down the country, over and over again. They have no honor or sense of proportion.
He's got a book coming out and the censors control what will be in it. He gave a publisher a manuscript and the censors have whacked out the juicy stuff the publisher thinks will sell the book.
The censor is the brother of one of the anti-Trump rats. He tells the publisher that if the info he's slashed is already on the public record he can leave it in so the publisher should pressure Bolton to testify after they publisher preps him on what to bring up if he's asked or not to get those things, lies or not, on the public record.
Bolton has absolutely no moral compass. If something furthers his agenda and makes him a buck at the same time, he doesn't give a damn who it harms or even kills.
So, the publisher tickles people like Romney and tells them it would help them to have a friendly publisher and to therefore advocate for Bolton testifying. Bolton slips a few things to his loyal leaking crew about what he has to say if called to testify, and the snowball starts rolling down the snow covered mountain.
Whether it gathers enough snow to become a huge snowball that causes an avalanche depends mostly on how well Senators know Bolton and his games.
As usual, follow the money.
JMHo
Another Democrat mole opens his yap. I have never trusted this guy.
