Okay but no way is John Bolton a hero in all this.

He may have helped the whistleblower. But he also enabled Trump at a crucial time during the Mueller investigation. Don't forget that. Same goes for a lot of other Republicans of course.

a helpful buffoon, one with a mustache no less. Really, he must be so enraged at his dismissal that he can't see far enough ahead to figure out just how helpful his expected blasting of Trumpy may help us. He's no fool but he's got the Type A personality of a vindictive, I'll-get-even-at-all-costs executive. Seen it before in B-to-B environments and it's not pretty.

If we're lucky, the same will happen with a majority of Trump enablers as they try to save their asses. Saving the republic is more important than settling old scores. Don't worry, we will remember all of them for who they really are.
