Last night, Schiff said they asked Bolton for affidavit after new info came out and he refused




Just in case anyone thought for a moment that Bolton was some sort of savior or patriot.

2. Yeah, it doesn't matter now. He can wait for his fucking book to release and keep the rest of us

in "suspense."

Fuck him forever.

3. I hope the only copies of his book sold are:

1 to Congress, and they copy that one book for everyone else in Congress

1 to WaPo, they publish the whole thing in their paper over a series of weeks

1 to me, so I can throw the fucking thing at him at a book signing...

4. Never thought Bolton was a "patriot", but thought his

own self-interest would prevail. In the words of the founders, "ambition made to check ambition".

6. This is more how I thought about it too.

He has accumulated decades of power and has come under attack; I doubted his ego would allow that to pass.

5. Yep. To my disappointment, he didn't show up.

Goes without saying, his book won't be in my Amazon cart.

8. I think Rachel asked him and he said no plans so far to do so

Not sure why they're so recalcitrant on doing so.

9. Probably because they'd be bogged down in court doing so. In any case they're probably just as

well waiting until his book comes out, and using that to bash Trump rather than getting Bolton in before the House, where he can claim executive privilege and get nothing from him anyway.

11. Bolton is a worthless Neocon. He has about as much spine as Dick Cheney.

If he had any balls and was a true patriot he wouldn't need a subpoena to speak up.

14. He said he'd testify before the Senate because he knew they wouldn't let him

It was just a stunt for his book.

15. this thuggish

regime is trying to stop the releasing of his book also. I expect there will be some sort of confrontation, if it doesn't get released due to censorship this is the end of free speech.

Bolton vs tRump that should be interesting.

16. He's a Republican, which means that money matters to him above anything else.
