I'm anticipating Mulvaney to feel the ax on his neck

And when he's booted out of his job I hope he has enough self respect to publicly spill what he knows.

it would be a nice touch if he showed up Bolton. I wouldn't be surprised if they both knew the same facts. Preempt what's in the book and screw Bolton where he deserves it - in his wallet.

1. I think we are all expecting far too much from Trumps Goons

They are all, scared little Weasley worms. They don't even have the gravitas of being called SNAKES. They are all too frightened of Trump to call him out even if he "wacks" them.

I don't even expect Boltons book ...if it comes out to be that forthcoming. It will be weak tea at best.

Mulvaney will always be under Trumps jack boot until the day he dies.

5. He'll find some shitty corporation to be on the board of, or some think-tank, who will pay him

to do nothing but continue to exude his vaporous malevolence into the right-wing political class. All of these scumbags have soft landings in their future.

But Bolton already stepped on his own dick vis-a-vis his book. He refused to testify in front of the House, citing Trump claiming executive privilege, because he thought the Senate would call him and he'd be the star witness on the biggest stage. Even Bolton thought the Senate GrOPers would ultimately allow some witnesses. Now he's got no method to compel his testimony, and Trumpists are abusing the national security council review process to claim his book is chock-a-block with classified info. If it ever gets published it will be ten or a hundred times less relevant than it would have been when he had a chance to defy Trump's bogus privilege claims and testify like Sondland et al did.

They'll stand by him no matter what and I hope if Hilton's book does get published he doesn't sell one copy.
