Best suggestion I have heard today re John Bolton. [View all]

I was listening to MSNBC and I hear a commentator -- not sure who -- suggest the following:

If Bolton wants to testify and is agreeable to do so pursuant to a congressional subpoena, then let Schiff open the impeachment hearings and subpoena him again.

Works for me. If Bolton wants to put it out there -- most likely for his book sales -- that he has something to say, then let him say it or STFU.

JMHO
