Democrats Now Have An Unlikely Ally In Trump Impeachment Inquiry - John Bolton

President Trump's former national security adviser, John Bolton, is known as a conservative foreign policy hawk. But he is turning into a key figure in the Democratic-led impeachment inquiry of Trump.

"All administrations are tempted to do bad things and have people who have bad instincts or wrong instincts," said Danielle Pletka, who oversees the conservative American Enterprise Institute's work on foreign policy and defense.

"And then there are people who just have judgment," she said, noting that every administration has "white hats and black hats," people who try to do the right or wrong thing. "And I would say that John Bolton comes out of this with a white hat of judgment."

Trump is not a conservative. He's a vandal. As are the Teabagger caucus.

I get so frustrated when I see people like Bolton, Steve Schmidt, or any "Never-Trumper" spoken of as an "ally."

THEY ARE NOT FUCKING ALLIES. THEY ARE TEMPORARY COLLABORATORS!

They are not an ally with us. They are only, temporarily, in the right. In the long-term, they will always be enemies of our principles.

Everybody knows how explosive and toxic the man can be. I wouldn’t get my hopes up too high - just as I said about the Mueller Report.
