We can stop saying nice things about John Bolton now.

He gave a paid speech last night supporting the testimony of the impeachment witnesses. His book comes out on March 17.

Bolton is now, and has always been, a war-loving lunatic. Now we know he's also a money-grubbing coward.

Yes, he is a war-loving lunatic, but even a person like that can tell the truth about what he heard and/or saw.

Just like the employees he praised did.

He is a coward. Always willing to send others into battle.

for his country as long as he gets paid for it and doesn't have to place himself in any kind of legal jeopardy. He's a "pragmatic patriot".
