I do.
Not sure why he will out Trump re what's in the book, but he's either pissed totally at the treatment he received from 45 or Bolton thinks it will boost the sale of the book or a combination of both.
It's gonna come out...IMO, of course.

(901 posts)Someone tweeted that he should give a primetime interview tonight and Rachel retweeted and said"Tremendous idea." Michael r. Bromwich was the original tweet.

(11,495 posts)he too is a narcissist who doesn't care about anyone but himself. Since trump made him look bad, and is now tweeting BS about him, he will defiantly find a way to get back at trump, and what better way than getting what he knows out in the public, one way or another.

(45,806 posts)exactly what he would have testified to had he been called. I think he'd enjoy messing with McTurtle's head!

(5,812 posts)Cannot tell you who said it since I heard the TV and did not see the speaker.
The speaker said that since Bolton is now a private citizen, the argument re his First Amendment rights could trump (pardon the expression) the claims of the admin.

(19,956 posts)advantage into Bolton, to hit him hard, that Bolton reacts and let's it all out. The only problem i see is that the RWNJs are well underway in discrediting Bolton.

(42,307 posts)If he does it after this trial ends, he will show himself to be a soulless, un American slime bucket.
Oh, wait.

(21,863 posts)In an interview with Fox News' Martha MacCallum on Tuesday, the senator said Bolton had "thrown the country into a ditch here," adding that the former national security adviser should "just come forward and say what's on your mind."
"Hold a news conference, and we'll consider what you've got to say if you think is that important," Graham told Fox News.

(22,034 posts)Bolton's leaked manuscript says that Trump told Bolton that the Ukrainian aid was being held until President Zelinsky announced an investigation into the Bidens.
What more does he need to tell us?
Since the Senate is going to block witnesses, I agree with the suggestion that Bolton should go on Rachel's show and tell all. It could be the Hail Mary play needed to keep McConnell from making Trump a dictator.
