My guess is, these stories are coming from the Bolton camp, both because of how he is being portrayed, and the timing of them; right when Schiff blows him off and he starts jumping up and down saying “But I have LOTS more to say”.
I too share Josh’s puzzlement over what is going on with this Bolton aspect; a lot of things about it just aren’t tracking/making sense.
With a little help from Comey and the Electoral College.
Has Fareed Zakaria discussed any of this? It seems he is part of the story now.
Yes, she usually looks like she’s had a couple of shots.
Oh! You mean pissed as in angry! Never mind.
Well he did come in 2nd with the popular vote.
Uncle Stache will save the day!
Um…does anyone there have even an inkling of where the nuclear football is? I sure hope it’s not in the hands of some mobbed-up Ukrainian spinning tall stories…but, at this point, I really can’t be sure.
My new glasses apparently prevent me from seeing double entendre.
He did just announce his $2 million book deal, so maybe ginning up interest? Probably half written by now.
They can’t order lunch without this kind of nuttery. Imagine the real backstory behind everything else. N Korea, for ex.
I worried about hitting submit.
And I know there have been regimes that killed tens of millions.
Not in the same category at all.
What we have is the most powerful nation on earth electing a petty lifelong criminal failure of a game-show host…who managed to destroy an entire party AND dismantle a very capable government in about 1.5 years. Not a complete global human tragedy yet, but it is a shitshow.
Well, that’s kind of an odd way of putting it. After all, it wasn’t like taking Hitler down was a choice for Stalin. If anything, the Western Allies invading Europe (first in Italy and then France) was us helping Stalin.
Looks like Bolton needs a better pair of glasses to stay on his face. His tic to keep adjusting his glasses at certain times is some kind of tell, I just don’t know what exactly it signifies. Maybe its, I’m Mr. Peabody and everyone else is Sherman…or I’m the smartest guy in the room and the rest of you are mere mortals.
I’ve thought about that. And perhaps he is holding out with Schiff to get a public hearing, and not just a closed door hearing, to get more publicity.

We can hope. ETTD
Not that I am aware of. My bet is that he’s pretty chagrined at being the unwitting pawn in this caper.
My favorite bumper sticker (which mysteriously appeared all over San Francisco) the day after Reagan was shot … “Give Hinckley Another Chance.”
I was going for the not locking up opponents, quashing protests, and the like, but I’ll give you the EC but not Comey.
What’s Eric’s job?
Man, was I disappointed he lived.
