He was surrounded by people who were not incompetent or stupid at all. And it doesn't take smarts to make yourself a dictator. It takes evil. And Trump has a lot of that.

And I agree, who cares what John Bolton has to say. He is not a good person.

Bolton climbed into prominence by being a crank.

He solidified his position by being a traitor.

Now he is vying for elder statesman status by rewriting his past.

an aberration and that those who say others in his party are still trying to overturn democracy are promoting "hysteria".

He is simply trying to preserve the extremist GOP he helped create.

Flush him and them.

and Bolton is famous for that. The fact he held on to this information and wouldn’t testify because he wants to preserve his book profits is infuriating.

On the other hand the fact that so many republican senators voted to acquit means absent a video of TFG stating he was trying to commit a crime we were never going to get 60 votes (and a video would not have worked either).

People like Bolton are self serving Pr***s. They should be shunned.

He HAD his chance to 'come clean' and provide testimony but instead he wanted to play coy and wait to reap the money from his book.

So now - F-U Bolton!!!!!
