Bolton says impeachment failed because Dems played into Trump's hands
Fox News ^ | June 22 2020 | Tyler Olson

Posted on 06/22/2020 5:28:07 AM PDT by knighthawk

Former Trump National Security Adviser John Bolton said in an interview with NPR released Monday morning that Democrats' impeachment efforts failed in part because they tried to fit impeachment into their party's primary calendar, a move he said played into President Trump's hands because the president benefited from the "very narrow focus" of the impeachment investigation.

Bolton's interview with NPR is part of a media blitz by the now-shunned former member of Trump's inner circle ahead of the publication of his tell-all about his time as national security adviser titled "The Room Where it Happened: A White House Memoir." Bolton participated in an interview with ABC News that aired Sunday night and spoke with USA Today for a story that also was released Sunday.

"And the consequence of the very narrow focus that the Democrats adopted without consultation outside their own narrow circle, as far as I can tell, and their rush to get it done so that the impeachment proceedings didn't interfere with the Democratic presidential nomination had the effect of pushing House Republicans into a corner," Bolton said in his interview with NPR.

Barr needs to place a large smelly sock in Bolton’s mouth, legally of course.

I expect that. The judge who heard the case on the injunction for the book ripped Bolton and opened the door for criminal prosecution on him. You can bet things are being worked on.

Ego, egomaniac. Everyone else has nothing to offer Bolton. No wonder he loves war.

Impeachment failed, because, Bolshies are worse than Trump.

Whatever John Bolton once was, he has now devolved into a hateful, bitter man who by his actions knowingly and willingly is aiding the demented leftist Biden and the communists who control him to achieve power and ultimately destroy the American nation. No punishment is too severe for Bolton.

It’s really great that NOTHING that the Deep State did to our President bothers Mr. Bolton.

Amazing that this POS was ever popular amongst republicans.

I apologize for interrupting this thread, but I am getting a JUNE 4 issue of The Right Scoop. Anyone care to comment?
Seems odd.

Having failed to procure permission to publish, we won't see a dime of it. Best of all, after the leftists are done giving him some Orange Man Bad media coverage, they will flush him like used toilet paper.

He will be despised as a traitor by the right, and the left will go back to hating him as they always have.

A man without morals is a man without a country. Maybe he can hang out with kristol and mcmuffin.

No, impeachment failed because Trump did nothing wrong that would warrant impeachment.

Unlike Clinton.
