The man reported to be Donald Trump’s pick for the number two job in the State Department says the election hacks could have been a false flag operation.

John Bolton told Fox News on Sunday that the hacks may not have been carried out by Russia, as the intelligence community believes, but implied the Obama administration itself could’ve been secretly responsible.

“It is not at all clear to me just viewing this from the outside, that this hacking into the DNC and the RNC computers was not a false flag operation,” Bolton told reporter Eric Shawn.

I apologize to anyone who has just eaten breakfast.

1. like trump

I don't believe anything that traitor says.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

2. I guess there's a way we can find out, isn't there? NT

[MBS]

9. Yup.

But I guess bipartisan congressional investigations, combined with Obama's orders to experienced intelligence professionals for a deep investigation starting in 2008, are too "biased."

Data are apparently scary things.

[Raster]

6. John Bolton* is the NeoCon all the other Neocons pointed to...

...as over the top and beyond the pale. Bolton* is a clear danger to the US and should NEVER be allowed anywhere near the mechanics of government. Other men count sheep to sleep, Bolton* counts mushroom clouds.

[MBS]

10. " " " " " " n/t

[nikto]

56. If Bolton ends up in the State Dept, we will be going to war with Iran

Half Trump's cabinet hungers for it.

[BainsBane]

4. Traitorous sack of shit.

[CentralMass]

34. + 1

[BumRushDaShow]

5. So is Darth Cheney okay with this?

He is oddly silent regarding the Putin-hugging of the incoming administration.

[Raster]

8. I suspect he doesn't want his nefarious, war criminal deeds brought to light...

...kellyanne conjob could just as easily be saying: "Dick Cheney* did it" as she intoned "Bill Clinton did it."

I think ultimately cheney* would probably be OK with it... It seems he was a NeoCon and PNAC member first, patriot second. After all, cheney* is one of the most successful war profiteers over the last 50 years. He and his buddies at Halliburton basically invented the "war-in-a-box" scenario, catering wars so all the infrastructure was commercially provided (at great cost), all the US had to do was provide the canon fodder... I mean, soldiers. It was Halliburton that gave us the concept of war with profit and loss centers, just like any other commercial venture.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. PNAC

proffered American hegemony everywhere - mainly in response to Russia and China. The proxy wars that Halliburton or Xe (now "Academi&quot would profit from were U.S.-backed vs Russian-backed. But with a buffoon like Drumpf, you now get Russian hegemony everywhere with the questionable result being whether the U.S. MIC can actually profit (via equipment/soldiers-for-hire orders) from the financially-strapped new masters from the east. China perhaps, but Russia? Doubtful.

[narnian60]

7. Disgusting beyond words.

[tomp]

11. of all the nerve....

...this guy talking about politicizing of intelligence, with his history.

this guy is truly dangerous, like cheney, having mastered the dark art of appearing erudite and reasonable (at least until he gets to the "false flag" accusation).

and what about this accusation? does he really expect anyone to believe that obama had the election hacked to make it look like trump cheated, instead of hacking the election to actually win? what kind of insane thought process is that?

[True_Blue]

41. The wingnuts on the right will believe it

They believe Hillary has sex slaves in pizza parlors, Sandy Hook was gov conspiracy and Obama founded ISIS, so they'll believe it.

[tetedur]

12. Imagine someone in a Clinton administration saying something comparable about 9/11. . . .

Do you think it would have been printed?

At least the Obama administration has asked for an investigation. It took 400+ days for a 9/11 Commission to be set up (to fail).

Where is the response from the Democrats? They should demand an apology from this asshole.

[Eugene]

14. Spoken like a true Trumpian. Say anything, ANYTHING.

No falsehood is too outrageous nor too silly as long
as enough of the right people believe it.

Bonkers Bolton just said he wants regime change in Iran.
Look out for a tsunami of bullsh**.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. He's been reading too much Glenn Beck

'Progressives are creating fear to frighten and control America'

They always project and blame the other guy

[Vinca]

16. Proof positive this guy is as crazy as "The Donald."

Obama messes with the election in order to make Trump a winner so the entire Obama legacy will be wiped off the books. If that makes sense to Bolton, he's either drunk as a skunk or needs hospitalization.

[ck4829]

17. Also, Sergei Magnitsky REALLY did get a heart attack days before he had to be released from jail

Alex Litvinenko just accidentally got into some polonium, Putin had nothing to do with it

[Judi Lynn]

18. How did this putrid piece of crap ever worm his way into our government, anyway?

He is not well-respected after a lifetime of making life hell for human beings, is known for being a vicious, spiteful a-hole in every day life.

Why should he have ever been allowed to continue to spew his rancid opinions into a world which would do better without him?

[dicksmc3]

19. What???

On Meet the Republicans yesterday, Chuck Toad asked Reice Prebus about the hacking. He said that the Republicon servers were never hacked. That is the direct opposite of what Bolton just said on Fix so-called news. So, I believe this hacking by the Russians has to be looked into and quickly. Everyone who cares about democracy should be crying FOUL right now --- "FOUL"

[barbtries]

20. he's crazy.

how does he get on tv?

forget i said that. The USA is not the same as it used to be is it?

[Dave Starsky]

21. This doesn't even make any logical sense.

False flag operations aren't designed to torpedo the very objectives they're supposed to bring about.

And, yet, watch the media give this traitor a forum and pretend that this isn't the second stupidest thing someone said this week.

[Baitball Blogger]

22. Based on what we know about Republican strategy, Bolton is guilty by

deflection attempt.

How do they keep it fresh?

[Javaman]

23. in other news...

john bolton whips himself in his closet at home to keep himself from telling any sort of truth.

anyone expect anything less from this anger management poster child?

you know he lies when his lips move.

[NBachers]

24. Count on Crazy John Bolton to be guilty of whatever he's accusing others of.

Let the Michael Bolton (who I also can't stand) memes begin.

[ucrdem]

25. GOP: Conspiracy theories "R" us

[get the red out]

26. The "false flag" angle

This is the new R explanation of course.

This man is no better than the people who write the fake news. Actually, he's evil.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

31. This is how alt-right uber-recht plants fake news. From these seeds grow huge conspiracy theories.nt

[GoCubsGo]

32. Nah, this is just more of their usual projection.

If you ever want to know what republicans are doing, or would do if the situation was reversed, just look at what they accuse the Democrats of doing. This is more of the same.

[JHB]

58. And thanks to Trump, that now applies to...

...the old "get their marching orders from Moscow" stuff too.

[Major Nikon]

27. Ned Flanders is hands down the funniest guy on Faux

[Bernardo de La Paz]

28. Bolton is so partisan and radical he thinks he can fool us into believing the CIA was fooled.

He's a dangerous stupid ideologue.

[GoCubsGo]

29. John Bolton? The John Bolton who helped shove "Iraq has mobile weapons labs" down our throats?

And, only had cartoons of mobile weapons labs as proof? That John Bolton? Alrighty then.

Nice "swamp draining" there, Mr. Pussy Grabber.

[woodsprite]

30. I'm sorry - but when are some of these old geezers, who have been

throwing monkey wrenches into the works and trying to undermine our democracy for years, going to kick the bucket or go so batshit insane that they just blubber in the corner somewhere in their own little world. I'm sure Hell isn't so full that they can't make room for them down there.

[Glimmer of Hope]

33. I don't think it could happen soon enough. I'm not sorry.

[CentralMass]

35. This really dies smell like an internal coup of sorts.

[JustAnotherGen]

36. This doesn't make sense at all

But - a bunch of guys who voted to make America Great Again will believe this nonsense.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

37. So, it wasn't the Russians after all. It was the Kenyans. nt

[longship]

38. Coo Coo Cachoo! There he is again. nt

[wordpix]

39. CIA, let's hear from you (again!)

[Generic Other]

40. There's some convoluted BS logic for ya

Seriously? I commit suicide to show you? That makes as much sense as letting this man run the State dept.

on edit: Actually, it's worse. I commit suicide to help my sworn enemies because well I am just so darn nice and accomodating.

[Angry Dragon]

42. All the more reason to investigate

[haele]

43. A bit later than expected. He was supposed to get out in front of the reports.

Ah well, must have been on one hell of a stolen election night hangover with his former soviet buddies....

Haele

[bdamomma]

45. .......

[bdamomma]

44. all the more reason why these

sick ass people need to go back under their rocks.

[Generator]

46. How are we going to survive these people?

How? America 1776-2016. We had some good times.

[riversedge]

47. There was a Republican on msnbc actually denouning Bolton's comments a bit earlier.

sorry but I have forgotten his name.

[Initech]

48. Fuck off, Bolton. Do these morons even know what a false flag is?

[Thor_MN]

49. You what was clear from the outside? That Bush, Bolton, Cheeny, et. al. were full of shit

on Iraq.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

50. The UN laughed at him behind his back....

Coo coo ca choo.

[LisaM]

51. Oh, sure, because that is so Obama's style and way of doing things.

Bolton is such a seedy looking old windbag.

[tclambert]

52. Well, then I guess Republicans ought to demand an investigation into possible hacking

and get to the bottom of these suspicions.

[47of74]

53. 47of74 Implies That John Bolton Is A Piece of Excrement And Total Fornicate Face.

And 47of74 needs to stop referring to 47of74 in the third person. It makes 47of74 look like a damn fruitcake.

[BigDemVoter]

54. Let Bolton yap loudly, long and CLEARLY. . .

The intelligence community has got to loathe this man. The more he yaps and implies they're corrupt, the more the intelligence community is going to want to come out and release something fun . . . .

After an AWFUL November, I'm actually enjoying the spectacle, although it is appalling.

[Kablooie]

55. So the Obama administration was capable of tricking the CIA, the most advanced intel in the world?

and the CIA has no idea.

[mdbl]

57. Still a total asshole eh john?

They're only defense for their reprehensible behavior is to pretend someone else did it. Classic repuglican.
