Fox News host Chris Wallace confronted acting Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney on Sunday over his role in pushing Ukraine to investigate President Donald Trump’s political rivals.
The acting chief of staff said he was “surprised” by the testimony because Bolton “never complained to me about it.”
Mulvaney also seemed cast doubt on Bolton’s attempt to distance himself from the pressure campaign.
“John Bolton didn’t go say anything to anybody,” he said. “Doesn’t that raise a red flag with him?”
Can’t deny this is fun - watching all these cats scratch furiously to cover up their own shit in such a small litter box. They keep exposing everyone else’s turds.
“This is about the President’s phone call…at the end of the day this is why we are really here.” Mulvaney just can’t help himself. He keeps pointing the finger right at Trump and can’t deny anything that Fiona Hill or Bolton said about his involvement in executing Trump’s scheme. This interview is nearly as bad as his presser (from a legal standpoint, probably worse).
Pompeo, too, seemed at the point of exasperation in terms of having to defend Mulvaney’s comments. He said something to the effect of, ‘I’ll leave it to the acting chief of staff’ to explain what he meant.
Mulvaney just can’t keep from shitting himself and his boss in public. Couldn’t happen to more deserving lowlifes. Hopefully their stupidity and big mouths will take down Pompeo and Barr too.
“No question you were following the President’s orders, but your fingerprints are all over linking aid to Ukraine with investigating the Bidens,” Wallace told Mulvaney after reading Bolton’s quote out loud.
Look, I don’t want to tell the White House what they should be doing here, but unless you guys all want to be out of jobs and possibly in prison within the next 12-18 months, stop going on television and openly talking about crimes the president and possibly you committed…
