I thoroughly despise Bolt-on, but love that he’s driving Donnie even crazier.

Every Republican Administration official and politician who has worked with Trump could write a variation of Bolton’s book. Yet they remain silent. Shameful.

"Bolton wrote that he took these promises to interfere in criminal investigations to Attorney General William Barr, who purportedly expressed concern about the appearances created by the president’s behavior.”

… a concern that he has since managed to overcome.

I think merely being Donald Trump must be a special kind of hell in and of itself.

You could have testified, Bolton. You should have testified. You are no patriot.

Do we really need any more proof that Trump is a corrupt goon?

THIS is the infuriating part. He has no honor. Frankly, he should have whistleblown on this shit long before the actual impeachment or at least when the impeachment was just a twinkle in Adam Schiff’s eye.

Bolton, for us, is FDR’s Stalin.

I’ll take it.

For Now…

This makes me detest Bolton even more. Given the choice between doing the right thing for his country and selling books, he decided to sell books. It’s a betrayal of his country.
He could have made a fortune by testifying then writing his book, but that would have meant not betraying the country.
He chose instead to betray his country and sell books.

How many chapters can you really squeeze out of, “Everything you thought he did, he totally did.”
