Former NSA John Bolton skipped his scheduled testimony
“Never saw that coming,” said nobody, ever.
Former NSA John Bolton skipped his scheduled testimony as part of the impeachment inquiry Thursday, depriving Democrats of testimony likely damning to President Donald Trump.
Dems only allotted 30 minutes for Bolton’s testimony. They knew he wasn’t showing up days ago.
Never thought the day would come when I’d be bummed that I couldn’t hear from John Bolton.
Amazing how they occasionally show a little bit of character, and then they jerk the rug away every single time.
Bolton is a True Believer, despite his strong disagreements with
Trump over policy.
He would never voluntarily testify against any Republican.
And he’s quite willing to flout the lawful subpoenas from Congress.
Talk tough like a Conservative Repub then dodge what you consider manly in others.
A War Hawk who is a sissy like 5 Deferment Don.
He probably surmised that whatever happens to Trump will happen without anything he says…thus allowing for more flexibility Post Trump.
So much for The Revenge of the Moustache.
I heard on TV this morning that Bolton might testify at a public hearing under subpoena, but not behind closed doors. However, I don’t know if there was any sourcing and haven’t seen any similar reporting.
I think Bolton is enough of a contrarian and loose cannon that no one can predict what he will do or say at any given time.
Fresh from Tio Wally’s Drawing Board …
I’m thinking it might be fun to start tagging comments about individuals with Trebutine® Scores, alternately known as “T®” or “BYE” which will factor various unique characteristics of a persons head expressed as a numerical score.
Each value will be assigned a number between one and 10 to calculate a total score between 3 and 30. It will be based on three criteria:
For example, Ivankatoinette would have a B factor of 1; a Y factor of 5; and an E factor of 10. Thus, B1 + Y5 + E9 = T®15 (or BYE15).
I feel this score will mightily assist bookmakers determine odds when delighted onlookers place their bets on the skulls’ predicted distance.
Again, this is only in the early stages of development. Any suggestions or refinements are most welcome.
P.S. Did I mention that all sanctioned Trebutine® events now have a prospective theme song?
I accept your challenge.
John Bolton will promote any and all wars in the Middle East, forever and always until he is dead.
Well, you got me there.
Shocked and dismayed…not really
The Ds shouldn’t push to get any of the Trump political players to testify: issue the subpoenas and let them refuse to honor them. Under the Best Evidence Rules, the unrebutted testimony of witnesses who have agreed to testify under oath, whether hearsay or not, will constitute the best evidence of the facts and be admissible. So what they have described as Bolton’s statements stand as the truth, since Bolton refused to testify to the facts himself. The same approach should be used with all the other no-shows.
Apparently he say’s he’ll testify if this hocus Judge “clears the way”. WaPo has a bit on it. Silly. He seems to loathe Trump and most of the folks in the White House but is still playing their game. He can talk right now if he chooses. I’ll bet he does one way or the other.
How would Sondlands melted silly putty head rank?
