I recall Lawrence O'D. saying that Bolton stood to make millions with a tell-all book, and that led me to think that he wouldn't want to give away the store until the book was actually out. So Bolton's just another self-serving, greedy-assed repuglikan. Surprise, surprise.

What we care about is that Bolton released the $ before trump claimed HE did. Witnesses on the receiving end could corroborate either account?

Anything that hurts Trump is fine by me.

Bolton has always been a right wing asshole. Why would anyone expect him to change?

The same can be said about many of the former Republicans who have become the darlings of MSNBC. Bill Kristol, Rick Wilson, Ana Novarro and, shit, even Nicole Wallace! All of these people are really not our friends. They are allies of the moment.

It's about them, not us, they want to survive this then go back where they came from

Business as usual

They can't make money if they're vilified like the rest when it all fails

They have high opinions of themselves, I don't think a one of them has actually helped our cause, they're just helping themselves

Self serving garbage

And they've been more passionate against Trump's corruption than many of our own people. I don't hold high hopes for them after Trump is gone but we need all the allies we can get until he is. It's that important.

Still, it's important to remember that our allies of the moment were our enemies not that long ago.

Meanwhile, we need Trump out of the White House.
